Answer:

The medium for the sound waves produced by the dog barking is the air

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound waves are a form of mechanical waves such that it moves from one point to another by the vibration, back and forth of the medium particles from one layer to the next, thereby the particles of the medium remain in the same location and only the wave energy is propagated

The medium which has particles that vibrate back and forth in order to transmit the barking of the dog is the air.
