“Why do some dog owners let their dogs bark constantly? Do they just not hear them? Don’t care? Bad owners?”
“So I have a five year old mixed breed dog. I’ve had for a while. Due to work changes and other things I’ve had issues with inside he’s been booted to the outdoors. He’s got a covered 10x20 kennel with water and beds. My main issue is he knows when I am home inside and he barks…”
“Thanks in advance for all the support! I have 3 dogs. Among the 3 dogs, only 2 are barkers. They both bark at any and everything, and when one is barking the other starts barking with him. Sometimes they bark at nothing. They’ve always been barkers, but we moved 2 years ago and…”
Owners describe dogs barking excessively when left outside alone, particularly in gardens overlooking fields. The issue escalates when new neighbors move in with dogs, creating noise complaints and stress for both pets and owners.

“Thanks in advance for all the support! I have 3 dogs. Among the 3 dogs, only 2 are barkers. They both bark at any and everything, and when one is barking the other starts barking with him. Sometimes they bark at nothing. They’ve always been barkers, but we moved 2 years ago and recently the police have been called to our home due to their barking. We’ve tried these bark collars on both and even a this ultrasonic bark control egg, but neither tame their barks. Their barks are so excessive that yo”
“So I have a five year old mixed breed dog. I’ve had for a while. Due to work changes and other things I’ve had issues with inside he’s been booted to the outdoors. He’s got a covered 10x20 kennel with water and beds. My main issue is he knows when I am home inside and he barks NONSTOP. I’ve tried slowly transitioning him from inside to outside the house. He gets frequent time in the backyard but it has to be supervised because he will literally eat the door to get inside to the AC. I’ve tried a”
“Just as the title implies. We recently moved and have a chain link fence in our new place and my dog (2.5 y/o pit mix) barks pretty ferociously when people/dogs pass. She is reactive, and her reactions are often fear-based, so I’ve been doing the approach of looking to see what she’s barking at and reassuring her that she’s okay, but it’s having no effect. A few other things to note is that she’s never outside alone and our yard is set back off the road a bit. submitted by /u/GoldDel”
“I feel bad because I don’t know what they could do. The dogs bark non stop, if I put on a fan it drowns it out and I don’t hear it as well. I don’t want them to have to get rid of their dogs but should I have to put on a fan every time they’re gone? submitted by /u/cynnie93 [link] [comments]”
“My dog is 3 years old and won't stop barking whenever he hears something outside or if someone comes into our house (just at first), any idea of what's the best way to get rid of that kind of behaviour? submitted by /u/Straight_Opposite216 [link] [comments]”
“6 mo heeler/husky/coonhound. I let my dog outside to do his business. He’s barking 5 minutes later to come in. (I don’t let him in until he’s been quiet for at least 10 seconds). How can I encourage him to be outside a bit longer. submitted by /u/jumbocat1 [link] [comments]”
“6 mo heeler/husky/coonhound. My dog will ask to go outside so I put him on the tie out and I go inside. Once he’s done his business he starts barking because he wants back in (I don’t open the door until he stops barking for at-least 10 seconds). I would like to train him to stay out longer than max 5 min. Not sure where to start. Some tips would be great! submitted by /u/jumbocat1 [link] [comments]”
“I am at my wits end. I don’t think these people have any awareness and their dog has had no training. I’m trying to be sympathetic because I’m also a dog owner and I live in an apartment complex that is dog friendly. My next-door neighbour who I share a fence with has a Pomeranian dog that they leave outside for hours and it just barks the entire effing time it’s out there. I can’t even let my own dog out back, or go outside into my own backyard peacefully without it just losing its shit at the”
“We’ve had our rescue dog for 9 years now (she’s 10). Despite all the horror stories you hear, she’s been absolutely magic. There’s just one thing we aren’t able to fix. She barks excessively. We have a garden that overlooks a field and she can’t be left outside alone because she just constantly barks. And when she starts, she just won’t stop. It was largely fine, as the house next door to us had been dormant for 6 years. But we’ve recently had a family with another dog move in, who have decided”
