Well that's annoying.

Can you tell what sort of barking it is? Does he want to play/is he being dominant/is he scared? Do you think going over to say 'hello' might help?

Ah, well in that case... I know it's far from what Cesar Whatshisface would advocate - bribe it with food?

Have you stayed outside for a bit of time? Our neighbors have loud obnoxious dogs but they tend to bark for 10 - 15 minutes and then settle down. It is irritating but if we wait it out, they are fine.

Ugh. Sounds like my neighbors. I'm sorry.

Are you sure the neighbours are gone? Can you drop a bone or a few treats in the kennel?

I know people are going to yell at me for this suggestion - but it might buy you 20 mins of peace and quiet.

Don't feed a dog that you don't know (not yelling, but just pointing it out). I once picked up a stray during a festival in our town and then walked it down to the festival because I figured it had just gotten loose. The owner was relieved to see the dog, but so worried I had fed it something. Apparently it had some weird condition and required not to eat most foods. Since then, I've been careful about feeding dogs anything before I know for sure. KWIM?

This needs to be addressed asap. The owners know the dog is barking. They don't care and they don't care that it bothers you. Be the squeaky wheel and maybe they will at least address it. I'm not a fan of the bark collar, especially unattended. I hope they can find another option.

We have dogs on either side of us. Both homeowners leave their dogs out during the day with no one home and they bark NONSTOP. We are always out with Rox and can quiet her if she starts barking. If, for some reason, she keeps it up, we bring her in. It is so annoying hearing dogs barking constantly and having dog owners who just leave them out there for hours on end barking.

Agreed. Next door neighbors and I had a big blowup about this several years back. I approached them nicely more than once about their nonstop barking dog several times. When that didn't do it, I went all asshole mode on them, and they got mad. Hence the fight. However, after that, they started bringing the dog inside more. Sucks that it had to come to that, but don't be a dick, try to be considerate of others who also have to live there.
