Barking

a barking dog never bites
Someone who makes threats all the time, seldom carries out the threats.

 bark up the wrong tree
Pursue an erroneous course of action.

his bark is worse than his bite
Someone comes across as being very mean and nasty, but doesn't necessarily act on their threats

 why keep a dog and bark yourself
You should not do something you hired some one else to do.
