Two common idioms to describe someone who makes a lot of noise but only to cover up the fact they are weak are: An empty barrel makes the most noise. When something is empty, it makes a lot of noise. Just like with a person, they can make a lot of noise but they are not able to achieve very much. It can be used to describe a boastful person who has a lot of words but no action. His bark is bigger than his bite. This means that although the dog barks a lot, it is not able to really bite anything. In the same way a person can make a lot of noise but have no action.

If you say that someone talks the talk but does not walk the walk, you mean that they do not act in a way that agrees with the things they say: "When it comes to recycling he talks the talk but he doesn't walk the walk." His bark is worse than his bite = although someone says things that sound frightening, the person's actions will not be as severe as the things that were said: "The boss seems mean, but his bark is worse than his bite." He's all mouth and no action (or no trousers)= to talk a lot about doing something but never do it: "He says he's going to complain to the manager, but he's all mouth."

Yappy - Normally with small dogs they bark at anything and we call them "yappy." You can also use this to describe someone who may be crazy & talks to much. In the Midlands, we use the word "yampy." as in: "He is a bit yappy this morning!" "She is a bit yampy!"

"The weaker you are, the louder you bark" - this saying is the closest to the original quote and means that those who are weak often use their voice or words in a hard or loud way to appear stronger than they are. "His bark is worse than his bite" - this saying is in response to someone who has expressed their experience of someone was of a mean or hard nature. For example: "Wow, your teacher is really mean!" "His bark is worse than his bite" - meaning, he's not as hard as he sounds.

When a dog barks a lot at people or other animals passing by, the intention is to scare away the intruder. The dog's intention at that point is not exactly to bite. Dogs that bite run quietly towards the victim and bite. Furthermore, barking dogs make the most noise when they are behind a fence, making sure that intruders get scared and do not get to their side of the fence. So, really, there will be a lot of barking but no biting. The idiom stated here is said with reference to the dog's behavior in the above paragraph. For example, the boss may be fond of issuing a lot of threats but never really discipline undisciplined employees. In a case like this, you may say to a collegue: Don't worry about the boss, 'his bark is bigger than his bite'.
