re: Does anyone else just not like dogs after close neighbors who let them bark nonstop?

It might help to stop and let them look at you, sniff you, say some kind words - maybe they'll begin seeing you as the ambivalent figure that walks by sometimes, and ignore you. Hell, buy some treats and toss them over once or twice. You might see an entirely different reaction. French bulldogs are sweet dogs but they are not too bright, and might just be reacting through instinct. A small effort to condition them to see you as something good may go a long way.

Tried all that 20 times. Makes 0 difference. They're dumb as shite and act solely on instinct.

You have a couple seconds to walk by some barking dogs. Stop being a bitch.

I don't think you understand how long 10 months is. I enter and leave my apartment probably 5 times a day. 10 * 30 * 5 * 2 is 3,000 times I've had to deal with it. You're simply imagining it happen 1 times. Imagine 3,000.
