I wish it was that simple. I'm a dog lover, there's been a dog in my household since I was born. (we are in dog hiatus due to mourning)

Barking dogs still annoy me, unleashed dogs that jump on me when I'm hiking, annoy me, dog shi# in my drivway annoys me and the list goes on.

But in all these cases I don't blame the dog, I blame the owners. As a former owner I know how easy it is to think that my dog is wonderful, but dogs will be dogs and do dog things unless the owners control them.

If I found a dog in my boat and the owners were there watching, I would have trouble controlling my anger.

With today's technology, you would think that bark collars and invisble fences would make this problem go away.

TiltonBB, maybe a little sugar first. Buy them a barking collar and deliver it as a peace making gift.
