I am getting ready to close on a house shortly and when I visited it recently to check some measurements, the dog next door heard me by the gate and started barking, while she was completely enclosed in their own house. The neighbors are also new, and quieted it down quickly, but told me that the dog is used to running in the great outdoors and not to being confined in a house. Let's hope few of us have barking dog problems. Had that dog been barking while I was choosing a home, I probably would have chosen a different home. Let's hope our neighbors dogs get to know us and will quiet down quickly after they hear our voice.
