Are dog owners reasonably responsive and effective? I assume most would be. Are dogs and responsible owners randomly scattered throughout TV making this a non-issue regarding villas or other specific locations?
Thanks.
We lived in a designer that was over the wall from a CYV village. One woman on the other side had the barkiest little dog. Then she got another one that was even worse--they got into fights. However, the barking was limited to the times the little yappers were let out into the yard, or left on the lanai. It wasn't a problem at night.


Dogs are not randomly scattered across TV; they are everywhere. You might want to visit a house you are considering a number of different times of the day to see if you hear any barking around it. But I find that most people keep their dogs inside unless they are outside with them, even in CYVs. But it will be the luck of the draw.
