Why Do Dog Owners Think It Is Acceptable For Their Dogs To Bark At All Hours ?
Why do dog owners think it is acceptable for their dogs to bark outside at all hours ?
I have four examples within earshot of my house. But you also get them in public places, in parks, on beaches.
If I played, for example, a recording of "Shut Up" outside at the same volume I'm sure I would soon find PC Plod on my doorstep.
And let's not have the pathetic plea "it's only natural", they can be trained not to.
It's the owners who are at fault, not the dogs.

Anyone who leaves their dog barking inside or outside, day or night, should not be allowed to have a dog. Poor things are bored witless If it was me I'd be asking if I could take it for a walk and then keep it with me for a while before returning it home again. I'm not just saying that, I did it once when the owners were off to work and locked it in the kitchen cupboard all day. Large cupboard in large house BTW. Why do people get a dog in the first place when they can't look after it properly?
Dogs bark. Some dogs are more nervy than others. I've had labradors that almost never barked. Current mongrel, rescue multi-terrier dog, barks at other dogs passing, strange cars parked outside, people coming to the door - anything he regards as threatening. It's louder when I yell at him to stop t.b.h..
Next door, somewhat unfortunately, acquired a young, male mini-dachshund which seems to be alpha male and is left alone in the garden a lot..... guess what? I'm there to bring ours in and shut him up. They aren't and Winston (dachsie) barks hysterically if I open our kitchen door to put rubbish in the bin.
Ours does not, however, bark at night (after the regulation run round the garden and making his presence known to any threats).
No, it's not always the owners.
Some kids are noisy, some not.

problem is anyone can go and get a dog just like anyone can have a kid but at least with a kid you understand humans to some degree and they can understand and talk to you and dont just rely on body language and tone where as a dog does and half the time i do think that about fifty percent of dog owners probably shouldnt have a dog they just arent competent enough or even aware enough to understand how to train a dog and all dogs need training
