There are a lot of comments from dog owners who are, or at least claim to be, responsible. But other than the 4AM phone call comment, no real viable solution. Talking to the neighbors apparently doesn't work. They are well aware of the barking and well aware that we have a problem with it. They just don't seem to care.

Too many dog owners think that everyone who must interact with their dog must enjoy their dog as they do. I have another friend whose dog insists on rubbing up against people and licking their hands. Every time I go to visit him it is impossible to get out of the car without this smelly mutt licking me. My friend stands their and laughs. I don't find it that funny.

To me, and I realize that it is just my opinion, most dog owners are oblivious to the discomfort that their dogs cause others.
