Jess, I am with you on this point! I live in a regular neighborhood. I have had as many as 10 adults here and a litter of pups. EVERYONE was in the house at night. Didn't put any dogs out till 8 AM and they were all up by 6PM. I have never had a complaint in almost 30 years from neighbors. If they started barking during the day? I had the biggest super soaker known to mankind and all; they had to do was hear me cocking the thing!

Maybe it's because I grew > up with a mom who when she told our dogs to be quiet, dogs for two miles > around would be quiet. My mom lives in the city with 6 - 8 dogs at anyone > time so barking is NOT an option except a warning woof when someone comes > to the door. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
