[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We received an anonymous, one-page handwritten note on our door from one of our neighbors letting us know our barking dog was bothering her (I assume it's a woman based on the penmanship). We live in a suburb in NoVA, on 1/4 acre lots so a barking dog can be heard over a several-house radius.

There are certain things our dog will bark at, usually a fox and occasionally one neighbor's dogs (they bark back). She sometimes barks for several mnutes, but we didn't think that much of it. Now, when she's out, especially in the early morning or later at night, we're more  of her barking and are working on her recall, which had been lousy but it's getting better.

I appreciate the neighbor letting us know the barking was bothering her and I hope we've been doing a better job. Maybe she'll leave another note complimenting us, but I won't expect one.[/quote]

Want a cookie too?  :roll:  Did you mommy not praise you enough? You want a compliment note from your neighbor for doing the job they had to point out was your job?

Sweetie, you should be thankful your neighbor did you the solid of writing a note explaining the problem to your stupid self instead of immediately reporting you for the noise violation you're responsible for. You're already welcome.

And if your dog has no recall, they shouldn't be off-leash. Yes, even on your own property. Walk the dog out to do business so it's under your full control until you have proper recall dialed in (which is puppy-level training).[/quote]
Pp was rectifying the situation and you're just being an @$$[/quote]

If PP wasn't the sort of person who needs to be told to control her pet(s), I might care. [/quote]

His. I'm a guy. And I control my pet fine, and I don't think her barking is that out of the ordinary, but do appreciate my neighbor letting me know that it can be a bit much sometimes. As I said, we are more mindful of it now and working to correct it.

You aren't my neighbor, are you?[/quote]

If I were your neighbor, you would've been fined for that mess a long time ago. It's not my job to teach you how to do yours.

I'd suggest a nice xmas gift for your letter-writing neighbor. They treated you with far more respect than you showed/were owed. [/quote]

Sure, Jan.[/quote]
