hi all, I need a rant over a barking issue. ok sophie is barking at anything and everything and its getting on my nerves, we spend alot of time telling her off for barking, the issue for us is whilst we are aware of her barking its not helping dogs over/up the road bark alot which sets her off and we have a zillion cats round her fighting and baiting dogs (standing staring from a distance ) no one else seems to bother to keep their dogs quiet. the woman at the back of us has complained about sophie even though she has a holiday home only and is a lawyer she goes home today but is blaming our dog for ALL the barking, even her growling.OK hand up she was yapping for half hour yesterday cos she could see me across the road (re-fitting a seat in the rv) but she was wimpering and whining, i heard this woman shout at her.
Am i being sensitive ? dogs barking constantly get on my nerves, sophie does nt bark constantly, we do stop her, i feel im being the scape goat, she did nt tell he neighbours about their dogs, even blaming sophiefor night barking (she doesnt) No one likes being told about barking but i think im being targeted. Yes we have tried lots of different methods of control , ok for 5 days then she becomes immune to the new training, i dont want to get angry with her and turn her into one of those shivering wreck, thanks for listening !!!
