True, but there are also people who hate dogs, and even if the dog barks for ten seconds they will complain. We don't know what the situation is here. The dog may bark a lot and drive everybody crazy, or it might be a normal dog, that barks in normal situations, and the neighbour is an a*****e.

Completely understand, but the “why don’t people train their doggoes?” Question is just very simplyfing things. I have a dog, it’s purebreed, very good taken care of and is well trained. His only downside is that he is very stubborn and little bit anxious. Everything was ok, but after we bought a house, he just didn’t handle it very well. He is now barking when we are leaving the house, every time. We tried lots of things, but nothing worked, only when he got used to the house it got a little better. And that’s trained, well socialized dog who just didn’t handle moving well. Imagine some poor doggo from the shelter.

My neighbor called our landlord to complain thar my dog was barking when we accidentally left her in the backyard for about an hour while we went grocery shopping...we were home by 8 PM and this is the only time we had ever left her outside when we weren't home (and I always call her inside if she starts barking a lot). Some people are just grouchy jerks.

that's not the dogs fault... don't take it out on the dog for doing something that comes naturally...my neighbour has a little dog,we all love him (the dog,and the neighbour to bits) he can be a little "yappy" especially when the garden squirrels wind him up (I'm sure they do it on purpose 😁😁) but he's a dog that's what he does,the neighbour often apologises to me,yep great awesome thanks,I let her know it's ok because he's a dog...I watch the squirrels and find it hilarious entertainment and tell my neighbour so 😆😆😆😆

There are ways of dealing with the situation without threatening the animal. It is the owner's fault, not the animal. I have NO respect for people who harm animals!!

I must agree. My old neigbour was this lovely elderly lady but has no clue how to train dogs. They bite, the bark pretty much non stop and the only thing she does is yell at them. I was so glad when I went to live on my own because the barking drove me crazy, my mom still lives next to her though and while the neighbour doesn't have a dog anymore herself, she does babysit one a couple times a week and this one also barks like crazy

My dog is so chill, until someone buzzes, then he barks but we quickly shh him and send him back to his spot and he goes back to sleep. Laziest guard dog ever, but a total cuddle monster.

My dog is pretty well trained though he barks despite everything we've tried (short of a shock colar which is out of the question). We had a few complaints before deciding its just easier to move him inside. Some dogs are just vocal and its their nature.

My Mom's got a miniature poodle, she was trained, she barks(though my mom's usually good about getting her to stop). The thing is, the dog is s a dog, she still barks. My mom even tried one of those collars that's supposed to keep them from barking. But her dog is inside at night, sleeping with her mama, not all night barking. So it's not 24/7, but good grief does that dog hate golf carts and a lot of people in my mom's neighborhood have golf carts, as there's a golf course in the neighborhood. The dogs where I live are funny, one starts barking, and the the next one down that can hear and so on, until it's like a dog choir. That's usually during the day though.

Not everyone deserves a dog. I’d say many people that have dogs do not deserve them. Those that allow their dogs to bark all the time or run loose all the time are among those who should not be allowed the privilege of dog ownership and doggy love.

True C L. I had one who had 5 little dogs, who would spend 2 hours barking at a frog or some other ridiculous thing, under my bedroom window, at 3am. My son in the room next door was in the midst of exams. She claimed that her realtor told her when she rented that the place was enclosed and she could have dogs, and that she didn't hear any barking. Fence was mine, so I removed a section and put up a sign saying keep pets away, rat poison in use. There was no poison (I'm not an animal) but she fixed the problem immediately.

Yes, but making threats is a terrible way to go about fixing the problem, unless reasonable attempts have been made and this is malicious.

Very inventive buck-pass, but there's no excuse for threatening to kill a pet animal.

I agree that non stop barking is horrible but dogs that are not trained properly should not get punished over it. It’s not their fault that their owners suck

THEY ARE CALLED DOGS FOR FUQS SAKE!!!! STOP WITH THE STUPID WORDS FOR STUFF!!!!

I am not a native english speaker, and this kind of bad spelling drives me nuts. I would get a lower grade in school for such c**p. Same goes for where/wear/were which I see quite often. Native speakers treat it like they are the same words.
