Barking dog...again

[Hollis]

Hey Hollis,
Dogs do bark, and a friendly neighbor should let a little bit slide. But there is clearly a point when there is TOO much barking. And then their human guardian should take preventive steps (exercise their dog MORE/bark collar) to alleviate the problem. I live across the creek from you on Ward St., and my dog Lily has a big bark, but doesn't bark incessantly. She definitely is not as well behaved as Rowan, my former, super, well-behaved dog. Please let me know (303) 709-1816 if her barking causes a hassle for you.

Rich, I've been letting "a little bit slide" for years, like 15 years,  I'd venture to say that makes me a pretty good neighbor. 

I think a better, more effective use of a Bark Collar would be for the owner to wear one, that more than likely would alleviate the problem in a short time and would save a "friendly neighbor" the hassle of having to call their good neighbor.

Since this topic has come up, I've had a handful of folks contact me agreeing and mentioning that it puts them in an awkward position to have to contact their neighbor and some are concerned about the situation getting ugly.

This thread has nearly 2,000 views, and not one reply stating that they enjoy dogs barking or that would honestly say that it doesn't bother them.
