I feel sorry for these dogs. They’re never off a leash? And they get punished if they bark once at a squirrel or another dog? What if a stranger comes in your yard? You don’t want them to bark?

FWIW, we never leave our dogs outside alone and they don’t bark much at all. I’ve even trained my big dog to use his “quiet voice” in the house. But expecting them to never bark is like expecting humans to never talk. It’s how they communicate.

Guessing no one talks in OP's house, least of all her DH talking to her!

Dogs can be trained not to bark or to stop on a command. The problem is lazy owners who think like you do. "Dogs bark." Yes, they do. So the owner needs to ensure they don't bark when and where it disturbs people who did not choose to have that dog in their lives like the owner did.

Trained not to bark? Like at all?

And in order to give the command to stop they must have barked at least once.

You have unrealistic expectations of when dogs can bark.

The "no bark" people sound crazy and probably come from a house where no on talks. Insane.

Says who? Have you ever done shift work? If someone gets home at 3 or 4 in the morning from the job, who do you think you are to tell them they don't deserve more than a couple of hours of sleep?

The OP needs to come back with more details.

What time in the morning?
Is the dog outside barking or inside it’s house barking?
How long is the barking for? Few minutes? 1 hour?

Are we talking 3:00 am in the morning or 7:00 in the morning when everyone should already be awake?

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.

They don’t bark if you take them on a walk instead of just opening your door. People are lazy.

I feel your pain. My neighbor is also an a-hole dog owner who lets her untrained dog bark every single time it is outside. Dog has woken me up at 6:30 am and at 11 pm at nigh. It barks at anything that goes by because she is lazy and has never trained the thing or socialized it. The dog seriously loses it's sh*t every time someone walks by and being on a busy corner lot means a lot of people walk by. I really don't think it has ever left the yard.

My neighbor is aware of the barking but has no regard for anyone but herself. Counting down the days until her ex husband gets the house back and she moves out. Sadly that won't be for another 3 yrs.

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.

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.

Ear plugs are amazing! Try them.

No barking allowed here. I walk my dog in the morning and woe betide him if he makes noise.

The people talking about training dog not to bark use shock collars or scare tactics with their dogs. They also use those high-pitched bark collars. No thank you.

I am always sensitive to barking being bothersome and give my dog the quiet command. People like my neighbor have no patience. She’s never said a word to me about it but obviously is annoyed by any noise coming from my dog hence yelling at it.

If she can "yell" at your dog faster than you can give your dog "the quiet command" then you are too slow, and being irresponsible. Stay on top of your animal's behavioral issues.

She was standing outside by her fence and yelled immediately when the dog barked. Judgemental much?

Our neighbors often put their dogs out at 5:30am. Rather than stand there and immediately let them back in (without barking)—which is what I did when I had a dog—they must go shower, etc. because the dogs bark for 20-30 minutes.
