[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although I am not a dog owner, dogs are going to bark. The problem is how long these neighbors allow the barking. Set a timer from when you wake up and until they are brought back into the house. 5-10 minutes or 45 minutes of barking makes a big difference. With your data in hand, talk to the neighbors.[/quote] That's a horrible way to approach dog barking. 5-10 minutes is incredibly obnoxious. That's like letting the car alarm on your car go off for 5-10 minutes because it's convenient for you, and hey, at least it's better than 45 minutes. Owners should walk their dog, or "let them out" to do their business and immediately bring them in. And train them not to bark. Putting it on "how long these neighbors allow the barking" is the absolutely wrong approach. Zero of the burden should be on neighbors to tell you when enough is enough. Owners need to be responsible for their animals from the start. [/quote] [b]Okay, I’m completely not a dog person at all but PP is ridiculous. I can imagine a lot of people but a house so they can let their dogs out in their fenced yard. This is one of those annoyances of living close to other people. They’re going to do things differently than you might like. The only thing OP can do is buy a white noise machine and ear plugs.[/b] [/quote] +1 OP sounds insane, naive, spoiled and clueless about life. Get a grip, OP! Let me guess, you are the neighbor that has the professional landscapers trucks (plural) at your house with leaf blowers (again, plural) at least once a week. Hint: there are no leaves now! OMG. OP is hopeless. Maybe you should think about moving to where there are zero neighbors. Do you have a commute to worry about? Probably not, I am guessing. [/quote] +2. There is a big difference between 1 or 2 barks and constant barking. Long or constant barking is not ok. However, most of these people who think dogs should never make a sound are also the ones that think the sound of children playing loudly outside is totally ok no matter what time of day or how loud they are. Neighborhoods have noise. Our neighbor has a loud car and leaves for work promptly at 6 am every day. The garbage truck comes at 6:30 on trash day. People are getting new roofs, yard work done, etc. Can it be annoying sometimes? Yes. But should we expect total silence and everything to work around our schedule? No.[/quote]
