I love canines, (theoretically). I also hate to hear dogs barking incessantly, especially little ones.
There seems to be the same syndrome working both with people who let their little dogs bark frantically and people who ignore their children yelling or crying in public oblivious of the disturbance it causes for others.
I live in a dog friendly complex. Specifically in a “small dog” friendly complex.
I wonder why is it OK for people to own 2 barking snapping small dogs, (Chihuahua , Yorkies, Terriers, etc. and not OK for me to keep one large well behaved non barking dog who has a 12 year plus history of no biting and no aggression?
I co-own a large gentle dog, Benny, who I describe as 1/2 polar bear 1/2 lion. That’s somewhat how he looks. Benny mostly lives at my brother’s so he isn’t really on the radar where I live and truthfully is a visitor when he’s here. He has the most docile even disposition imaginable and is a good will ambassador at large.
I recently came across this web site about dealing with dogs barking and it seems to be chock full of good sound advice.
So if you’re wondering how you can train your dog to have better manners and be a good neighbor or if you want to learn what you can do to help someone who has a dog that barks incessantly I believe you’ll find this site covers it.
See what you think and comment back if you care about well behaved dogs, (or children)
