We have two key expressions with bark. The first one is: to bark up the wrong tree. This means to be mistaken about something, to have the wrong idea. For example: the police were barking up the wrong tree investigating Mary; she was out of the country when the crime was committed.
The second expression is: his/her bark is worse than her bite. This means that the person seems angrier or meaner than he or she really is. For example: "Don't be afraid of Jimmy! His bark is worse than his bite."
