When leaving my apartment the other day I noticed a letter in my door. The letter was a complaint regarding my dog's barking. I have never had an issue with his barking and never received any complaints before. I've had him for more than 2 years now. I normally leave him in the bathroom closed off with a baby gate with his food, water, blankets and toys. I've been doing this for years. He normally barks for a few minutes when I leave and then stops. This neighbor says he barks from the time I leave and then for hours after. When I come home from work he isn't barking. If i'm home for a few minutes and don't let him out he does bark some. I can't help how early I need to leave (I'm in the military) and I can't really afford doggy day care. I'm really upset because Oliver is such a sweet dog and not yappy at all. He doesn't bark at all when i'm home with him unless he's trying to get my attention or something is bothering him, but even then it's a bark or two. Dogs bark, that's what they do. Please help!
