Hi Unexpected Leigh, All,
How does everyone turning up to a getgother resolve all problems? Admitting it is a great first step to come up with possible solutions, resolutions. Yeahhh!
Yes,in our building we did the have a chat and a cuppa with the owner of the barking dog, we came up with a number of resolutions,together, used a number of medications, retraining etc which took many months of owners putting up with this constant barking, but what resulted in that was the animal still barked up a storm, we had owners with a log book. To identify the problem a video was so helpful, all behaviour has a cause, you need to identify that, observing behavior in both people and animals is. But the final resolution was a shock collar. It solved the problem short term and long term the dog recognized the collar and did not need it again.
In reply to animals being kept in small spaces overseas, being legal or accepted does not necessarily mean that it is an environment that is healthy and happy for an amimal.
