Hey guys,
Need some suggestions for somehow conveying to my neighbor that her dog is an incessant barker!
Each night the dog barks constantly, you know that bored, rhythmic "I am stuck in a backyard without any attention" kind of bark.
A couple of months back I left her an anonymous note in her mailbox, which she came over to ask me about. I ended up telling her in person that No, I wasn't mad, but YES her dog barks A LOT. She didn't really seem to get it though, just invited me over to meet her kids and her dog, which was nice...
...but it doesn't get me anymore sleep in the mean time.
So, I know this is THE WORST thing I can do, but when it barks I either throw it some dog biscuits (yep, reinforcing the barking! but I get 2 minutes of silence - I am desperate) or I yell SHUT UP!!! out the window (the yelling is supposed to be so the neighbors hear it, I am sure the dog couldn't care less if I yell at it!).
I AM GOING NUTS!
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
Heidi
