Or the times they say, "Chihuahuas? Aren't they yappy?" And I correct them by saying they can be if they're not properly trained, but that mine only bark when provoked. Makes me sad that people get dogs but don't train them. Everyone needs training in life. Your parents "trained" you when they taught you right from wrong, correct? Good luck with Sir Barksalot. :)Erin B.

Interestingly, the dog actually lost the ability to bark after running off into the wild for a few weeks before being discovered. The dog learned to bark again eventually, but never did so to a problematic extent again. Cases like this, when dogs go into woodlands and such, abound apparently. I don't know if it would work in an urban setting.thesystemworkshttp://thesystemworks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-35043480286360127062011-03-09T07:59:34.361-05:002011-03-09T07:59:34.361-05:00poor guy. we have a dog like that right next to ou...poor guy. we have a dog like that right next to our bedroom but i think he only barks when he's alone. luckily that's not too often when i'm home. mostly, i feel bad for him but i have to admit that i might have felt the urge to strangle him on one or two occasions (that were a saturday morning at 8 am after a party-friday or something like that...).kimhttp://notcrazyunwell.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-76996566102774896812011-03-02T23:53:15.845-05:002011-03-02T23:53:15.845-05:00totally had a neighbor like that. to top it off sh...totally had a neighbor like that. to top it off she and her bf would get in fights all the time. we're not even supposed to Have animals! finally ended up ratting them out to management about the dog just to get some sleep!screamingnspacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-47031475420356328682011-03-02T23:05:05.228-05:002011-03-02T23:05:05.228-05:00OH GIRL, I'm with you on this!!

Even I shouldn't be hearing it from inside my house because I'm deaf but it's really that loud & annoying! I've expressed my anger by banging on the wall inside my house near their backyard. Heehee. Tyler told me to grow up after that.

One dog barks incessantly because she's alone so much, and another down the hall needs a good trainer.

He was the most mellow dog - kinda like the Marley & Me dog. Fortunately, we have never had any problems with barking dogs (as in the neighbors' dogs). However, there are a lot of crying dogs in our area which, in my opinion, is the worst. Yes, and I was the neighbor who already called animal control several times because some people just don't know how to take care of their pets.

He's just naturally include to bark a million times, as a dashchund, but we are home the majority part of the day (or at least half) so I'm hoping he sleeps while were gone. Because, dude. He can be REALLY annoying when he gets into a barking frenzy. Have you thought about calling the apartment manager about it? A few times, people have called us about the dog. I'm not sure they can actually DO anything (they said they just have to let us know) but it does put them on a radar.Stephanyhttp://stephanywrites.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-26910208474264654792011-03-01T14:29:32.671-05:002011-03-01T14:29:32.671-05:00I think this is a great solution, that way you'...I think this is a great solution, that way you're not involved directly.Michellehttp://www.sowonderfulsomarvelous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-499090991688401762011-03-01T12:58:55.748-05:002011-03-01T12:58:55.748-05:00Unfortunately, some dogs are just bark-ey.

My sister has a wonderful dog that is very obedient in every other way, and no matter how much training or how many walks he goes on (and he lives in a nice big house with a yard), he barks incessantly. It irritates her just as much as the other people who have to hear it. What else can she do, you know? They've tried collars that spray him with air when he barks, and all types of other ideas, nothing works!isellehttp://twitter.com/iSellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-31406005023385429852011-03-01T12:55:03.809-05:002011-03-01T12:55:03.809-05:00ugh, sucks. do you have an iPhone? get the Sleep M...ugh, sucks. do you have an iPhone? get the Sleep Machine App IMMEDIATELY. it drowns out the four lanes of DC traffic on outside our bedroom window *perfectly* its a life saver, it's saved many people's lives since i otherwise would have murdered many sound making people/dogs/cars etc.Lustyreadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-2296699958896469132011-03-01T12:23:28.275-05:002011-03-01T12:23:28.275-05:00That dog needs some lessons from Cesar, that would...That dog needs some lessons from Cesar, that would fix the barking problem.

That way, s/he doesn't have to know it was you who complained.

Although, instead of cursing the dog, I used to fantasize about what I would do to the owner for her completely inability to train the dog. I DO NOT understand why people fail to properly train dogs and then keep them in teeny tiny apartments. This is one of the reasons why my husband and I will never own a pet in an apartment; we'll hold out until we can actually get the house with some actual space.Sugar Scientistnoreply@blogger.com
