i have been dealing with my neighbors hound for years. They do nothing with him so he barks. Many people mistakenly think that dogs just bark, but that isn't true. dogs bark for a reason (neglect, patrol, etc.).

I agree with this statement. I have had dogs of my own and I wouldn't let them bark at just everything. They usually need attention or water or food or something.

Unfortunately, I don't like the sound of dogs barking all the time, and I always seem to have barking dogs around me no matter where I go. I have to drive out of my neighborhood just to take a peaceful walk.  :neutral:

The noisy dog is the bane of neighbors everywhere. Forget the crazy kid parties, and the motorcycles without a muffler; it is the barking dog that causes the majority of neighborhood arguments, and noise complaints.

Yeah and?  So what is the topic?  The barking dogs in your apartment?  All you did was state a fact that you have barking dogs in your apartment, there is no discussion ::)  That's like me saying pizza, in the subject line and saying I had it for dinner last night.  You people who don't comprehend simple things on here crack me up 8)

That's the main reason why I don't really care for the small dogs that tend to yip over everything. My dog (a terrier mix) is pretty good about being quiet. She'll bark if she sees someone coming towards the house, sees another dog (or animal) in the area, or is in trouble (eg she's wrapped her tie-down around a tree). But usually she'll quiet after awhile, esp. if I see what's up and tell her to sit (I've already trained her not to bark when I feeding her, so she now will rush to her food bowl and sit to quietly wait for me to fill her bowl, so I think she thinks "sit" means to not only sit but to be silent too).

I've found that smaller dogs tend to bark over any little thing, whereas larger breeds only bark when they're in trouble. Before my terrier, I once had a grand mastiff that I heard bark maybe less than half a dozen times. The one time was when the neighbor's little yipping thing was standing right at the yard's border, barking like crazy as my dog went about her business. Finally my dog had had enough and gave one mighty woof! After that, both dogs fell silent.

Dog parking does get annoying. My dog parks at every car or truck that drives by. So I know the feeling, but I would change it. My dog is my security blanket. If that's what you would call it.

Goodness, I can so understand your predicament. I have an older lady who lives next door to me and she travels quite extensively. Whenever she leaves home for a few days, she leaves her patio doors open by about 8 inches so that her two chihuahuas can come and go as they please. That, I don't have a problem with. However, this means that these two dogs can go outside any time of the night and usually, they are outside at night crying, whining and barking. Sadly, her patio doors are on the opposite side of the fence to my bedroom!

Barking dogs are annoying, but I still love dogs, more than cats.

dont live in an apartment but i do have neighbors on all sides of me with loud dogs thankfully my yard is fenced but it is only chain link so i dont feel safe letting my kids out by themselves because im afraid theyll stick there little fingers through the gate and come back with less then five.

Sounds a little annoying. There are two dogs that bark every time I take a walk in my neighborhood.

My dog is a barker. But not so much at noises outside or seeing people outside, more at me and my husband. She loves attention and if she isn't getting it when she wants it she will bark and bark. Shes spoiled rotton and its our fault. But shes my baby. Lol

in my hall of the apartment building, there are two neighbors with dogs who bark at movement going past their apartment doors. So, there is a chorus. First, the one across from me barks, then, a few minutes later the one down the hall barks.
Cats are a quieter breed. There are cat owners on the upper floors.
I have three words for barkers...annoying...annoying...annoying...I'm a cat lover!
