| My mom had a crazy neighbor that came out to the fence and just stood there yelling at her dogs. I mean she is screaming "Shut up! Shut up!" over and over. Of course the dogs keep barking at her because she is screaming and making gestures like she wants to hit them. Then, the neighbor got a dog that barks a LOT! She hasn't been to the fence since! I think people need to get over a few barks here and there but NOT continual barking. It is up to us to train our dogs or keep them in. Mine do bark when I take them out. I am with them so the barking is only a very few minutes. If there is some reason I cannot get them to stop barking right away, I take them back in. Like the neighbor who thinks it is okay for her cat to come sit on my fence post and tease the dogs into barking but will probably be the first to complain that my dogs bark! Still -- even when that happens, I take the dogs back in. I just don't want to give anyone the chance to complain. I would say anything longer than 5-10 minutes and it is now a nuisance to others. If a new neighbor was complaining and you think you keep it to that. Tell them -- dogs are going to bark but you will ensure it is never for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. But that rule will go for any loud noise too!

| I don't know. I have four dogs and if someone else's dog was barking for 5-10 minutes especially at 6:30 am, I'd be complaining. That's not being a prima donna. IMO, 5 mins is excessive about 1 min is acceptable. |

| New development . . . New neighbor called the police this afternoon to our other neighbor, (that is at his left side) for dog barking!!! The neighbors two house down from us are there for a couple of years now and have a Grate Dane that is occasionally in the backyard and when he is outside he barks sometimes. I know for sure that the dog lives in the house and it is in the backyard very rarelly. It is usually before noon on the weekends, I can hear him bark when I am outside , but it never bothered me. Funny thing , the new guy is here for ten days, and already not happy with his neighbors on both sides on his house |

| Sounds to me like this may just be a cranky neighbor. Like someone else said...they are dogs...they BARK.

| I sort of pulled that 5-10 minutes out of my behind. I think maybe you are right -- 5-10 minutes of "continuous barking" would annoy most anyone at 6:30 am. It is longer than you think at first. I just watched 5 minutes on the clock and it seemed like forever. So, I think you might have to shave some time off that 5-10 minutes I mentioned earlier. But then again, it sounded good to me at first so the neighbor might not think it that bad.

| Okay this is something near and dear to my heart I live in a pet friendly hi-rise and my pups don't bark too much as far as I am concerned They bark when someone comes to the door or the phone rings Even though ... I have had notes put on my door by a crabby neighbor It angered me in the beginning but I have tried to keep the barking to an absolute minimum by using a water pistol It gets them out of the barking jag immediately by startling them just a bit And for me has worked like a charm

How do you keep your Westie quiet in a Condo? My Westie is a bark, bark, BARKER!!!! And much more willful and headstrong than Lucy. He can 'juke' his way out of a water bottle squirt in the blink of an eye.

| I have a similar problem, my next door neighbor hasn't spoken to us ever since we got our Yorkie a year and a half ago. He said she barks too much, the funny thing is she never barks at him. He swears at her, at me and my husband about her. I'm disabled and can't go outside to get her if she doesn't listen to me when I call her in. It has gotten so bad that we are in the process of moving before he hurts her. |

Once she decides to bark, it's on! My trick now is to put her attention on me by touching her or stepping in front of her so she can't see past me. | |

| My girls are both yappers. When they start up for no reason, ie. no one's at the door, they get 1 "no bark" warning then I grab the handy water gun. It gets their attention immediately! Regardless, the next time they hear an imaginary sound, we start all over again!

| Barking dogs are an annoyance to me. We have 2 indoor dogs and 3 outside dogs. They have been trained not to bark just for the sake of barking. If we hear our outside dogs barking it is usually due to strangers in the neighborhood or wildlife! Our indoor dogs don't really bark. Our rat terrier does from time to time but Raley (in my profile picture) RARELY barks. I think I'd hang myself if a dog was barking and woke me up early. Good luck to you....I hope you can resolve the problem easily!

No Longer a Member | Sounds like the neighbor should have checked out the 'hood before moving in If I were to look into purchasing/renting in a neighborhood I'd come by a few times a day to see what kind of noises to expect. Dog barking, when incessant, can be extreamly annoying (espically the yorkie bark) and especially at 630 am (though this is the time of day I'm up and running as well). I love my Rizzo but when he gets started even my skin can crawl. Mostly because I know that he is annoying my landlady, though she tries to make the best of it by taunting him into barking more. They all like the new addition Cooper because he runs up to them for pets, where as Rizzo will stand 5 feet from them and bark without stopping. I'm trying to figure out how to stop it, he knows them really well, they feed him and take care of him when I'm out of town and when he is inside with them he's just happy as can be. But as soon as he is outside it is on, when I walk towards him he just runs around them barking, while staying away from me. The only thing that seems to work is me telling him "caio Rizzo" and walking inside my house, once he realizes his back-up is gone he comes running to my door. I'm concerned about his barking once I get to a place where the neighbors are as intolerant as that man....what to do, what to do? |
