1. Thank you
2. No worries, i hardly used the kennel as a time out. It's been a yr or so since I last used it, I just put him in any rm by himself.
3. My neighbors hate us. I've asked them nicely to trim their trees that are butting up against the house and they said, "ok" but it's been a month. The dad doesn't like dogs and is very passive aggressive. I talked to the mother, she was ok, but kinda distant. And it's hard talking to them when your dog is yapping and going agro. Lastly, if they can't control their kids and teach them manners, i doubt they'll ask them to behave around my dog.
4. I've tried noise makers as well and i'm not a fan of those shock collars. Any other tricks?
Thank you for your care & concern
