People's dogs are getting to be like their kids. If you can't control them then don't have them

I am not even at home. yappa, happppppaaa, barrkkkkkkkkk, baaaarrkkk

worse than the beagles or coon dogs growing up. Trying to work from home during the week and the idiots a few doors down have a blue tick hound. They let it out about 2pm every day. Bastard barks to no end. They let him out at night. there he goes. So you know what I did? I starting barking back. Then, the guy comes out with a spotlight. He couldn't see me. I would bark and he would shine the line. Silent. Light goes off and I bark. He goes inside the house and I start barking. Now he know what it is like. I am trying to watch the ball game or tv and hear his damn dog howling. All the damn time.

People behind us. Let their yard get tore all to shit because they some dogs that are the size of a pony. Bastards bark all the time. They bark just to bark and the owners won't shut them the hell up.

Now the yappers. YOu get a phone call. Can't take it in your own house because somebody eases damn dog is barking all the time

Went to a beer fest last week. People have their damn dogs. Barking, starting fighting with each other, sniffing peoples crotches, licking their balls, and then the shitting. Ohhh loook at FiFi she poopied. FiFi is damn Pit Bull Mixed with a Rottweiler. That's not cute. She shit like a cow. Can't even go to a beer fest and people have to bring the dog.

I like dogs, but they are not people. Put a muzzle on them if they won't shut up.
 
I always jokingly say...I don’t take good care of my kids. Why would I want to take on a dog?


Seriously, I like dogs, but they’re not for me. I live in a subdivision with an unfenced yard. Every house I’ve ever been in with a dog has that distinctive odor you get from having one. I like to go out of town, on vacations and Marshall sporting events. Who is going to watch it? I know there’s kennels and boarding places, but that just complicates getting ready to get out of town. Most days I’m out by 6:00 and not home till after 6:00. Do you lock the dog in your house all day? The garage? Is that the kind of life an animal deserves?

Not for me.

I agree, if I go to the gym, I am out of the house by six, if not, I am out by seven, and do not get back until after six, if I go running, I am out of the house for close to an hour and a half. It would not be fair to the dog, my cats can just deal with it.

Cats never give the appearance of needing human interaction anyway. They seem content just to look out the window while basking in the sun and thinking what an a**hole everyone is that walks by. Kind of like herdman.
 
When I moved into my place about 1.5 years ago, the neighborhood was a chorus of barking dogs. Once one started, it became a chain reaction that led to three other dogs joining in. I let it go for a few months, as I didn't want to be the asshole in the neighborhood who just moved in.

Finally, I started knocking on doors . . . at 11 pm and 6 am when the dogs would be really annoying since their noise wasn't masked by my television. You're sleeping? Too bad, so was I all of the times your dog wouldn't shut-up.

Everyone was cool and apologetic. One guy claimed it was actually his neighbor's dog that was the really bad one . . . until his dog started going apeshit immediately after his owner made that excuse.

They were all quiet for a week or two, until the slowly started coming back. At that point, I called animal control. Animal control in this city is stellar - we have a ton of creatures in this area whose sole purpose to is FAMU (Fvkc a Man Up), and Animal Control is good at limiting that. We also have more deer than I've ever seen . . . and it's not even close. I have different deer sleeping in a side yard almost every night. With that many deer, there are also a lot of injured/dead deer from cars, which leads to dozens of vultures, and animal control takes care of the shit quickly.

Animal Control explained to me, that unlike many other cities, there are no "quiet hours" in the city. All hours are considered quiet hours. In some cities, dogs may be able to be kept outdoors with unlimited barking during daytime hours, but that isn't the case here. After a complaint, they dispatch a police officer to the area. If the officer witnesses the barking, he then places a notice on the property from Animal Control that tells them if the barking doesn't cease within 24 hours, another complaint will result in a court appearance, at which point, proof can be shown of the excessive barking and the animal can be removed.

The neighborhood has been totally different since they have done this. There is still one redneck whose dog barks around 7 am, but it is for a short time and is much better than what it used to be.
 
How do you even stop a dog from barking?

Not my problem. If you live in a neighborhood, you have a responsibility not to create unreasonable noise that disrupts neighbors. At the same time, if you choose to live in a neighborhood, you have to understand that brings noise from neighbors . . . children laughing at screaming while playing outside, a car alarm inadvertently going off, etc. However, rampant dog barking that goes on for hours at all times of the day is not reasonable. If you can't control your dog from making unreasonable amounts of noise, keep it indoors, get rid of it, or go somewhere that neighbors can't be bothered by it.
