Barking Dog

The animal control officer who came that day took the dogs and they were put down after 5 days. My first call was completely ignored though. At least I don't have to see them anymore, but my heart is still broken after 6 months. It wouldn't bother me at all to hear a little yorkie barking after what I've been through.

Yes, they did apologize the day it happened, but I get the feeling it was for the benefit of the animal control officer. Since they our lives have been miserable and they are extremely angry at us for having their dogs taken away!

Be glad that that's all this little dog does. My neighbors moved in next door in November with two pit bulls. By January by little 9 pound maltese was dead. They would dig under the fence and roam the neighborhood. We tried talking with them too, kind of hard when nobody would ever answer the door!

Here in our state it is considered a cruel thing to have a dog tied out on a short leash. How about calling the animal control officer or ASPCA. The dog probably wants to be in the house. Never, ever heard of a Yorkie being an outside dog. They do say that one of the reasons dogs are given up for adoption is their barking. There is a book called 'There are no bad dogs, just bad owners". How true that is. I feel sorry for you and for the poor little dog tied out in a yard, not paid attention to. No social interaction with other dogs or humans. How inhumane is that? They should just give it up for adoption.
don't care. They are the ones barking
the orders. Write to the Board of Directors or to Phillips - they are the ones holding the purse strings. If we all wrote them a letter it might open their eyes and see how unhappy their big investment is making the work horses that keep the doors open. Just an idea.
Two dogs, barking at each other
arf.
Cure for barking and it works! sm
I read this in Heloise. Put some pennies in a tin can and when the dog starts to bark shake it. They stop every time.
My dog only barks if someone he doesn't know is at the door so we have a can of pennies by the door. However, as the Yorkie breeder said, dogs can be trained not to bark when they are pups. We got our Eskiepoo when he was 8 weeks old and would just gently hold his snout and firmly say "no barking." It didn't take long at all. He's 3 years old now and when he's out in the back (fenced in) and wants to come in, he does this one little yip about every minute or so until someone lets him in. Too funny.
I feel sorry for my neighbor's Yorkie. Poor guy is stuck outside for hours on end on a 6 foot chain yapping his little head off and the owners do nothing.
