I have never understood dog owners who think it’s cool for their precious dogs to go berserk when I go into my own backyard to work or relax. You know how it goes, barking snarling charging the fence. I pay a lot of money to the bank every month so they let me live in the house. If a dog lover cannot control his animals then they (the dogs) need to be removed.
I don’t want land mines on my yard from a neighborhood dog or cat. I don’t want to be hysterically barked at if I go outside on my property.
I don’t think this was an issue of a repeat nuisance in the backyard. The dogs accidentally got out once and barked at the neighbor. If I had a dime for every time I’ve seen that sort of thing happen...
Sounds like the neighbor might be a jerk.
I am right there with you. Spent 2 summers trying to cope with a neighbor who did the dumbest thing he could ever have done for his German Shepherd puppy. Gave her rule over the fenced in backyard. Literally she ruled the backyard and no commands from the owner would control her.
I resorted to obtaining a military grade Dog Silencer. Worked fairly well.
Sadly the neighbor passed away early this year. The dog has been through 3 homes and is now housed outside only in a fenced in yard.
Really it is ultimately a sad story.
Agree. It is the height of ignorance and laziness.
