I don't mind one little bit, I'm just relieved it's not my dog!

I would hate to have a habitual barker - you don't understand how impossible it is to train them out of it, OP! My dog is not a barker, but he has other issues that we haven't been able to correct, so I am humble and I know changing dog's behaviors is sometimes impossible.

Also, the dogs you see barking from a window are probably alone in the house - there is nothing the owner can do.

Yep, actually, I do. My dog is a natural barker. He's tried to bark at anything and everything since birth. It's not that I don't let him bark, I do. But, I don't let him do that aggressive, threatening barking at people/dogs who walk by or up to our home.

Dogs are individuals, and my dog will never be a "quiet" dog. But, he will also never be a nuisance.

If the owners out, they can put the dog in a bark collar, they can crate the dog, they can put the dog in a bedroom, they can play music/TV/fan so the dog doesn't hear people passing. There are a million things they can do instead of letting their dog stress out and freak out at passing people and dogs.[/quote]
