[Dailydrool] neighborhood barking

I walk my dogs everyday too.  In fact I have to go in shifts because I 
can't handle everyone together.  This being said, we set off certain 
dogs in the neighborhood twice.  After a while the dogs should get used 
to seeing you and stop barking.  This is what happens to us.  When we 
come upon a house where the dogs aren't out for one reason or another, 
Kita our Malamute, actually stops and looks towards the yard like she is 
wondering where they are.  So maybe this will work for you, but I would 
definitely not stop walking your dogs.  You have to do what is good for 
you and your dogs and just ignore the negativity. (which is harder to do 
sometimes.)
