I have told him that banging on things won't get her to stop, it will only get her to bark more. His response was, "Then get 'em to shut the ^$ up." I live on 1.5 acres, he lives on 2.5 acres. There is a buffer of 150 feet of solid trees between our yards, we can't even see each other. He works outside quite a bit, and I know her "puppy bark" (7 months old) can be annoying, but I don't see an end to the cycle. It is unrealistic of me to expect my neighbor to change, so what can I do to change my dog's reaction to his behavior? One option I will not consider is keeping her in the house all the time. She needs her exercise and fresh air. I have .75 acres fenced off for the pups to run, which they enjoy. I have three other dogs, but they don't bark very much, as they are familiar with all of the "neighborhood noises" and don't respond to it. I have had my new pup 2 months. Any suggestions or ideas that have worked for you?
