How Do You Stop A Neighbors Barking Dog?
Nothing’s more obnoxious than your dog barking to be let in and out—unless it’s someone else’s dog barking. It happens all the time. A neighbor puts the dog out and then forgets about it, letting it cry and howl without cease, and without doing anything to stop it. It’s one thing when the dog barks at the occasional passerby, but sometimes, action is required. If you want to get your neighbor’s dog to stop barking, you’ve come to the right place. Approach your neighbor. Talking to your neighbor about his pet is the most important step, but for many it’s also the most difficult. Don’t be confrontational, but explain gently and firmly that the dog’s barking is annoying and needs to stop. Explain why it’s a problem and when it’s a problem: at night when you’re sleeping, during the day when the kids are taking a nap, etc. You can send a letter from the neighborhood if you want to remain anonymous, but it’s typically more effective if the neighbor can put a friendly face to the request.
