Nearby Dog Driving U Nuts?

Does your neighbor’s dog bark at you?

I’m sure you’re not alone in this problem. I still struggle with this irritation and have for years. I feel more annoyed each day. Working at home or even going into the kitchen for breakfast or lunch while a border collie yaps.

I love dogs; if you’ve read my blog, Dog Leader Mysteries.

Yet living with a dog yapping every 4 to 5 seconds can drive me up the wall. Unfortunately, I have such a neighbor. She had a tiny Pomeranian who insisted on barking nonstop for days. Being in our backyard was quite unpleasant during those times.

Problem with a neighbor’s dog?

One of the problems continues to be that her pets use a dog door. So they can leave the house and enter the backyard anytime. She works. So without that pet door, she would need to come home and let her dog out.

One good thing is she regularly comes home for lunch and lets her dog out.bWhen she is home, the dog rarely barks in the backyard. When she is gone, the dog barks nonstop all evening or all afternoon. And the dog loves to bark at us when we step outside and when I garden or walk in the backyard.

In a small local park, we met a calm border collie.

We just met a lovely and calm border collie. Watched him run and catch a soft frisbee for nearly an hour. The adage is, “a tired dog is a good dog.
