font-family:Arial'>Oh if just everyone would take responsibility …..I
would continue walking the same route but, the idea of maybe asking the upset
neighbor what their work schedule is would be a great gesture. I know even tho’
we are out in the country my boys think they have to tell me by sounding the
alarm everytime something happens….so they do bark a lot. Since Mike has
gone to 3 rd shift for awhile I did buy Gus a bark collar as much as I didn’t
want to. It has cut down on the almost hysterical type barking the boys would
go into. It seems if I curb Gus it curbs Leroy. Now, both Leroy and Nala tend
to aroooooooooooo more…so not as hard on the ears but, Gus has got a huge
voice!!! And he doesn’t aroooooooo just bark bark bark. I know it would
drive me nuts if I was trying to sleep. That’s why I said if it is a
sleep thingy. Otherwise if it’s just cuz their dog sees your dog…suggest
they pull the blinds…that has also worked for my guys during this atime
with Mike sleeping. If they don’t see it happening they don’t
bark.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
