Explanation

The complete proverb is 'Barking dogs seldom bite.' This means that those who make the most noise or threats are usually not the ones who actually take action. 'Seldom' means rarely, which is the correct meaning. 'Sometimes' and 'always' contradict the proverb's wisdom, while 'never' is too absolute.
