That's the question. When is OK for your dog to bark? How early or how late should you let your dog bark? It is very difficult nowadays to find dog etiquette within the cities in which many owners have dogs and some neighbors may complain about the barking. But where do you draw the line and what is really the limit when it comes to dogs and barking?
In Miami for example, many of the old-style homes have large backyards and sometimes you may have three to four neighbors sharing the same property limit fence. You may have one neighbor in the back, one in the corner and two -one on each side. The Miami city law states that dogs are allowed to bark between 7 am and 9 pm but in my case, I try to be respectful of my neighbors and only let my dog out after 8:30 am and at night no later than 9 pm.
To bark or not to bark? Well, barking is regulated at the city and/or county level of local government. Is in nature of all dogs to bark and surprisingly enough, the people who sometimes get most offended are the ones who also own dogs! Wouldn't you think they understand better? In any event, is always good to try your best to get along with your neighbors and live happily ever after. But, if your neighbor insists and shows aggression after trying your very best and ensuring that you are complying with city and/or county laws, then your last choice may be to contact the local police department or law enforcement authorities.
As important is also for you to do your homework as a pet owner and consider where you are going to live when selecting your home location and your type of pet. Certain dog breeds are known to be excessive barkers such as Miniature Schnauzers, Beagles, Yorkshires and Toy Puddles, to name a few. There is so much stress in our day-to-day lives that we, as pet owners should try our best to create a good environment for our family and pets.
When acquiring any type of pet, we suggest you consult with an expert on the breed or species to ensure the selected pet will be a perfect fit for your family and/or lifestyle; therefore, minimizing the chances of the pet being placed for adoption and better yet both of you (owner and pet) enjoying a great life together.
