No dog is cute when it barks. Someone moved in a few doors behind us and has two small yappy dogs. Luckily they are not left outside, but as soon as they ARE let outside the two of them are CONSTANTLY yapping.
The five minutes the lousy owners leave them out seem like an eternity. And in an hour they are let out again.
Our 85-pound mutt (2 years old) just sits on the deck and glances over there. Probably thinks like me “stupid yappy dogs”.
LOL
That’s a shame. I think I’d probably go nuts. I don’t get people who think they can own dogs and forgo training.
A family member of mine had a big German Shepherd, a protection dog, and he was trained within an inch of his life. The ONLY time that sweet dog ever barked was when he perceived a threat to his folks.
