Our Barney barks as soon as he goes into the yard and won't stop. He is two yrs old now. Next door have three dogs in their yard, they live outside, we both have very small yards.(Terraced house) They used to bark all the time, not so bad this last couple of weeks though.
Barney cannot see them but you can see him sniffing where they are. They are all bitches and as far as I am aware they have not been done. They got a letter off the council because of them barking, I'm frightened that we will get one for Barney. Even though theirs bark during the night with being outside. I even got a bark collar which I didn't want to get and which seemed to work to start with but not so much now. I don't really like it.
Even after a long walk, he wants to go out in the yard but it's just to bark. It's difficult now because we need the door open with it being so hot.
Think it's made me a bit worried because my neighbour shouted out that it wasn't just her dogs that barked, Barney started that round off. She is right, Barney barks during the day when he is in the yard. But there are some others as well that have their dogs outside and they bark during the night as well.
I think they might of got the letter because when they went on holiday the dogs howled and barked constant.
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but I'm telling Barney to be quiet and praise him when he is, just wish he would be quiet.
Anyone got any suggestions please.
