re: Does anyone else just not like dogs after close neighbors who let them bark nonstop?

I do the same thing. All I have to do is walk outside w my BB gun and he moves along and finds something else to do. Still have to do that often because he's a very excited and young energetic basset hounds and wants to meet the neighbors. I just worry so badly about the neighbors I haven't met seeing and calling someone but it's not like they can prove I've done it when it doesn't leave any marks on the dog. Plus he's stupid tough, my last bloodhound was a young one too and he'd yelp, my basset just looks at me and walks off.
