My suggestion is that you go to HER house, tell her that she is driving you as crazy as Molly is driving her, tell her you're trying to always bring Molly in when she starts barking, and ask her to give YOU that much consideration and respect and to give you five freaking minutes to react before she "barks" at you or screams at Molly. I might purposely try to get her to come over while I'm there next time so that she and I can "chat"!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-11083008833357045162010-09-09T14:18:37.826-04:002010-09-09T14:18:37.826-04:00I vote for training Molly to bark only at this cra...I vote for training Molly to bark only at this crazy lady!

There is absolutely nothing she can do legally unless Molly barks for more than 30??? minutes without ceasing. Here's a suggestion : Train Molly to bark at her excessively. Praise her when she barks at the crazy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441211035405911355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-54056672085544541352010-09-09T11:57:52.396-04:002010-09-09T11:57:52.396-04:00Our neighbors have two dogs (hounds) that are left...Our neighbors have two dogs (hounds) that are left out all day and all night. The second they hear someone, they bark and won't stop until we leave. We are essentially confined to our house; we can't enjoyably use our backyard ever. So, I have a good understanding of how annoying a barking dog can be. Having said that, we have a) never complained to the neighbors and b) this sounds like a totally different situation. It sounds like you are trying your best to come up with a compromise that seems reasonable for everyone involved. Unfortunately your neighbor sounds unreasonable. If they don't like noise, they shouldn't have moved into a neighborhood (just like we are planning for our next move). It sounds like this lady is crazy, so the only thing I would be worried about is her harming Molly or doing something to your house. Also make sure she isn't out barking past the city noise ordinance (ours is 11pm). If the neighbor cares that much, she can buy a $30 barking deterrent machine (found in every pet magazine). It emits a high pitched noise that causes the dog to stop.Nicki Balchinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-12325353690809325272010-09-09T11:18:28.187-04:002010-09-09T11:18:28.187-04:00It sounds like you are being a courteous neighbor....It sounds like you are being a courteous neighbor. Dogs are going to bark and that's what they do. There is no law against dog barking. We have a very annoying dog who barks/yelps living behind us. Yes, its irritating at times, but I would never say anything to my neighbor behind us (even if I didn't have dogs who do the same thing!). I say continue to bring Molly if you notice excessive barking, but don't stress over it. Your neighbors needs to relax or move to a seclude property.Paigenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-87470248550350318022010-09-09T10:44:51.754-04:002010-09-09T10:44:51.754-04:00let your dog bark. like you said, it's one of...let your dog bark. like you said, it's one of the reasons you have a dog. ignore her.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692039873268919274noreply@blogger.com
