Heheheheh... We live in a nice suburban neighborhood...you know, the 2.5 kids, swingsets in the yards...the occasional barking dog...
I just stepped outside for a smoke & could hear a lil schnauzer-thing barking, barking, barking. Obviously, Mommy & Daddy went to work & the lil guy was left out in the back yard... All of a sudden, the next door neighbor comes out & pleads "Stop it! Please shut your dog up!" Then her husband come barreling out & screams at the top of his lungs "Will you shut that fokking dog up! Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Of course, all the other dogs in the neighborhood start barking...my lil 10lb Terrier gets all butch...doing the moon walk, kicking back dirt with his hackles all raised...  I quietly said "Don't you dare make a sound, Jack!" So, I just gotta ask...How do you handle life's lil annoyances? Do you freak out like the neighbors...would you buy ear plugs...what? |

I just can't believe they freaked out so badly...
I mean, c'mon! It's just a lil dog! I could see if our Mastiff barked all day & night...but hell...it was after 9am... I'm with you, Tammy...just turn up the TV a bit... And the fact that the owners were obviously gone...like that lil dog was really gonna shut up after they yelled at it...

I have two dogs myself...and I always find it intriguing how some people actually waste energy on getting all worked up over a barking dog.
Ok, so granted...I did have a neighbor back in GA who left his Jack Russell Terrier outside on occasion and the lil fella barked non-stop until his owner came home. Sometimes until 2 am...I would have to set my alarm clock to nature sound mode to drown out the barking in order to be able to go to sleep. I went over there and had a friendly talk with the man one day and it turned out he had no clue his dog did that. So there you go...yelling and screaming won't do you any good if the dog's owner isn't home. Like the dog is gonna listen to a stranger? HAHAHAHA |

15 minutes of barking is ok....
16 minutes of barking and I call animal control...the owner gets a "ticket".... |

Interesting, too...I recently went camping and the campground rules said "absolutely positively NO barking dogs". It didn't say anything about the children that were screaming from the tops of their lungs.

I find a shot gun and an incinerator work pretty good.

I laugh, all I can do...pissing and moaning about it won't do anything but get me flustered, so I crack jokes at myself and laugh.

I usually wait till the neighbors dog is quiet and the whole neighborhood is quiet. Then i get out there and get my 2 pits all riled up and barking....usually pretty late at night.

It can be bothersome, that's why there are laws regarding them.
Only bothers me when it interferes with sleep. Usually a chat with the owner resolves things. My mom threatened to tie up a neighbors kids if she came over again to complain about our dog "running loose"

I do the same thing, but with a half-dozen high-decibel air-horns instead. They've been known to kill chipmunks and squirrels at fifty feet!

I just take it as a mental exercise of concentration, and tune it out! If that's not possible, then speak to the dog owner, hoping he'd come up with something sensible for the neighbourhood. :)
