All I can say is "Good for you!" to all you RESPONSIBLE dog owners who don't let your dogs bark excessively!

I live in an apartment in a big city and over the years I've had my share of problems with dogs that bark excessively. Some people just leave their dogs penned up all day to bark while they're at work, or - worse, in my view - sit in their living rooms and just let their dogs bark their heads off and anything and everything.

I wish someone would invent a humane way for NEIGHBORS to stop the neighbors' dogs from barking!

Luckily we do have a reasonable Animal Control office here and one time I forced the issue and the neighbors and I had to appear at a meeting wtih animal control authorities. They sided with me, said the owners could not allow the dog to bark incessantly, and told him to etiher keep the dog quiet or they'd take his license to own a dog away from him. He moved, no doubt so he could go on bothering other neighbors who might not be so pro-active.

I like dogs and hope to have one myself when I live out in the country in retirement or semi-retirement. But people who have dogs in the city and leave them penned up all day in tiny areas are not doing the dogs - or their neighbors - any good.
