 barking
I think everyone ... everywhere should expect dogs to bark, whether they like dogs or not they are a part of daily life in America. We had a neighbor that would call on us if our dog would bark for 10min (and it was always when people were walking their dogs by...really close to our fence). I thought this guy was just a j.a. and still do. Now though I am on the other side of the fence... so to speak. We just had a navy couple move in next door w/ 2 labs. Ok... they bark for HOURS and HOURS... almost nonstop. While they are at work I can't even sit on my porch and talk on my phone cause no one can hear me (and they live caddy corner and across the street). They haven't just set back and let it happen they have covered their whole fence w/ tarping so their dogs won't see other people or dogs (a problem for them too), but they sit up on the deck til they see someone. I really feel sorry for them and as long as they are trying to solve the problem I will help them, but if they didn't give a who ha... I would be mad. I know their direct neighbors have to be going crazy... they wake us up EVERY morning!!! And wake my baby from his nap daily!
To the OP. Please let them know you are trying to fix the problem... they will probably be more sympathetic. If there is a noise law there like here... it doesn't just apply at night... that is a common misconception... they can call the police on you at 3pm and if you get enough calls they can ticket you and then take your dogs. That is what the cops told us and then when my husband looked up the law that was the case! |
