Someone please explain why my neighbors dogs bark nonstop?

Question

It's not an aggressive bark, more like a lonely annoying thing...there is another dog with him in the yard, but my gosh! I have never, ever, heard noise like this in my life!

I am trying very hard not to contact Animal Control..I don't feel this is worth getting them involved...but gheesh. This dog gets wound up and every dog in the neighborhood starts!

Why??

Answer 1

I have the EXACT same problem. Whenever they start barking it gets my dogs all wound up and distracts them from what they are doing, like being trained.

Answer 2

cos they saw your knickers hanging on the washing line.......lol

Answer 3

Talk to your neighbors about walking there dogs! The dogs probably hava a ton of pent up energy and you neighbors are just putting them in the back yard to annoy everyone else. Talk to your neighbors really, maybe if they do exercise them ask them to keep the dogs inside.  

Answer 4

Negligent owners. Plain and simple. Call animal control. The dogs are a disturbance. They will talk to the owners and let them know their dogs are disturbing the peace. If the dogs continue to bark, then AC will take action.  

Answer 5

Its sad if they are in the yard all the time cos they must be bored and frustrated. Unfortunately if they just do it when they go in the yard occasionally then they may just be noisy dogs.

I have 2 westies and one of them if she's left for more the 2 minutes she'll bark and because we live near a walkway she barks at people walking past. Some breed are noisier than others.

I would suggest talking to your neighbour if the barking is constant otherwise i guess just do your best to ignore it.

Answer 6

It`s call CHARACTER . Even the dogs have it

Answer 7

my idea is (ive studied aimals a long time) maybe they are lonely and they want out? have you ever seen them on a leash for a walk if not then they are most likely wanting to get outside of their home and run!! or they are hungry and thirsty and want something to eat. ask your neighbors those questions or try to look into there yard and see whats with them if something is wrong contact animal control!!!
