This clue could be a double definition.

'ronnie's' is the first definition.

'dog?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barker that I've seen before include "setter, perhaps" , "Loud showman and dog" , "Tout" , "One stands at a carnival giving loud, colourful, sales talk" .)
