Home Alarm

I can't help but think that the problem with next doors dogs is that they bark too much. They're barking now as I type this , they bark if the neighbours are in their gardens , at pigeons , at everything and anything. As such it just becomes a background noise and if they bark at something they should really be barking at it gets lost in the noise , just think "the boy who cried wolf"...

I completely agree - must be a total pain in the neck and not helpful or neighbourly. Just a couple of properties where I live at the end of a long, remote lane. We all have dogs and it is, thankfully, silent most of the time (very few visitors - we even try to co-ordinate our Amazon day deliveries ) so when someone does arrive in a car/van (or even on foot) that they don’t recognise, they all start barking - I’d run a mile if I didn’t know them! They sound intimidating but probably just want to lick you to death! Once I’ve checked who it is (and my collies have seen me check and tell them it’s ok) they stop barking immediately. But they’re collies - very intelligent and well-trained.
