In Reply to: Dogs barking - Yanking my hair out
Our inconsiderate neighbors let their two loud labs bark constantly. Visited them and asked nicely if they would bring them in within a reasonable amount of time or at least yell 'shut up' out the window. Things would improve temporarily, then back to the noise. Animal control was not very helpful -- said they would have to drive by and catch the dogs in the act, but then wouldnt even come out. What finally helped was calling and Emailing both the mayor's office and several city council members--Two councilmen contacted these rude inconsiderate neighbors and kept following up and putting pressure on them until it finally dawned on them that their dogs were their responsibility and their unfortunate neighbors have a right to enjoy their house in peace. Unbelievable how inconsiderate and irresponsible people can be.

Dogs barking
Why do people allow their dogs to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark, etc, etc, etc. I am so sick and frustrated with my dense neighbors. They are inside, dog is outside and just let their dog bark. The dog barks starting around 4 pm and it goes all the way until it gets dark out which is around 8:30. The past couple days I have been so frustrated. Can't even sit and relax at night to watch a good movie cos of the dog. Every once in awhile the lady will yell at it "shut up", but then maybe 10 minutes go by and its back barking again. I feel like telling them why don't they bring it inside and see if they would let it bark as much in there when they are trying to relax (its a large dog - Full size goldren retriever or something similar). I love the dog, it's adorable, but I'm not enjoying no peace. I'd say something to her but she is quite dense herself. Every once in awhile I'll hear her in the back yard yelling at her kid telling him how stupid he is (actually he is but if I was a parent I would never say that to my kid). She once told him he has no brain and called him something I would not even repeat. They freely use the "F" word when talking to their kid. So with knowing the way they are I would never say anything to them about their dog. I just don't understand why people don't keep their dogs from barking and disturbing the neighbors. - We're now going to start looking for a place in the country and forget "disturbia". I was just so frustrated I had to vent somewhere. Everytime I say something to DH he tells me to be quiet cos their back yard is right next to our.
Hmmm, I did note the barking and the lady should have gotten her pet under control, true, BUT
made some rude comments to the lady, which was unnecessary and why I said the OP needed a lesson in manners. I don't see that I need a lesson in manners at all. MY dog doesn't bark at people when I take her shopping with me, but if someone got in my face and made rude remarks to me such as the OP did, that person would have a serious problem with me not because of my dog but because of her rude comments. If I were to be told by a clerk or management to take my pet out of the store, I would gladly do so. It's no big deal to me. I'm not dumb enough to take my dog INSIDE a restaurant or to the grocery store. Times are different, culture is different, what was once not allowed in the past is allowed in the present. The fact is you aren't willing to conform over something so small and that is your prerogative, but it's also mine to take my pet into stores that allow them.
