charlabob – GOOD dog people don’t block out their own pup’s barking and don’t mind at all if the neighbors tell them about disturbances while they are away.
We have appreciated it in the past when our neighbors have sent us a text saying the boys are going nuts. It lets us know if there was a problem or if we needed to work on their training.
On the other hand, we have a neighbor further down the block that leaves their hunting-style dog home alone all day and the thing just bays and howls. We’ve told them before and they never changed their behavior. We called animal control to issue a noise complaint and they were fined. That finally got their attention.
Just saying there are a LOT of responsible dog owners who will listen to a courteous comment. Also, there are ways to deal with the ones who aren’t so responsible. Best of luck charla!
