Reply #14: Me too!

They are friends, I really appreciate them, but DANG that dog just will not stop yipping. She barks at us even if we are inside our house. My good Mollydog just completely ignores her, thank god. If Molly barked back it would be a real problem. As it is it wakes us up, interferes with concentration, and just annoys the bejeesus out of my (patient) son. Ok and me too.
When we moved here (before our neighbors got their demon doggie) I put a muzzle on Molly when she barked too much. Jus for 15-20 minutes. I think the muzzle worked to get the idea across. She still barks at passers by, just one woof or sometimes even just "w..." - But of course that was Molly the Wonderdog and you are dealing with an idiot dog.
Are you concerned about keeping a good relationship if you ask them if there is anything they can do to help?
Good luck!
