Neighbor left note about my barking dog

your dog is waking up your neighbors and she is the bitch?

There's a doggie dog. I don't intentionally leave them outside.

I leave for work around 5-5:30am and since I typically work 12-16hr days I would prefer them not shite all over the inside of the house.

If you can't properly care for an animal and respect your neighbors at the same time, either move or get rid of the pet.

Try to correct the dog's behavior, but I don't see how people let stuff like this mess with their sleep.

The trash gets picked up in my neighborhood really early and the truck is LOUD. Same goes for trains, airplanes, police sirens, birds, whatever.

I would have thought the same thing until I bought my house this year. The dog going ape shite next door does it.

I think it's because the garbage men move on quickly enough, while the dog goes on and on, and on, and on....

I've got two pups myself so I know the struggle.

Eta: Short of not leaving a letter, that's pretty much the nicest letter she could have wrote IMO

I guess you're right. I say try to correct the behavior, but dogs bark. You're not going to eliminate it completely. However, I do have a problem with incessant barking.

Eh. A little premature on her part saying she'll contact the county. Clearly I'm not home and this is the first time I'm hearing about it while I've been living here. Plus always think its a bit immature when you threaten like that in anonymity in first contact.

In general my fiancee is around and let's the dogs out after 6:30 and she's back back by 3-4pm. My guess is the neighbor is complaining after my fiancee left town for a few days and I had my usual hours of 5AM to 7-8PM. But I digress.

Buy a couple of bark collars for when you aren't there. Problem solved. Could even get neighbors to split cost but they aren't that expensive.

---

Why would you even mention the neighbor paying anything??
It's not his animal or responsibility.

Take the advice of everyone here and do something about your damn dogs.

agreed. they did the right thing by contacting you directly and not calling cops, etc first.

Get bark collars for your dogs. They work.
