So sorry that you have inconsiderate neighbors. Of all of what you are going through I would really hate listening to the barking of dogs. Peace and quite is what we need and people abuse that all the time. I hope that you get your view and quite!!!!

There are probably almost as many dogs as folks here.

I like some dogs better than some folks.

(We don't own a dog)

Okay, I have a few quick questions for the people with dog "issues"....

When you went for your "LSV" did you not see dogs? Did you not see the dogs in the town squares? Did you happen to notice that some of them were wearing dresses and eating in the restaurants? Did you see people riding with the dogs in their golfcarts? How about some of them actually have the dog's name on the golfcart-did you notice that?

Now, let's get to the houses, did you see how many houses have the dog's name on the light post?

Did you know the builder is okay with dogs? Dogs are welcome in the sales office, Southern Lifestyles and any business owned by TV. (IMO, they'd be okay with gorillas if you spend enough-LOL)

So, after noticing all this what made you think this would be the place for you? DUH, hate to break it to you, but if you have "issues" with dogs, you may have a "broken picker".

Trust me, you'll all have "quite" soon enough.

I've been very lucky. We have a villa wall behind us and the people on the villa side have dogs. I hear them bark once in a while but it is attended to quickly. I have spolen to these people over the wall and they seem great. Happinow has concerns about the dogs and her view. I hope it works out to her satisfaction.

Happinow stated earlier that dogs was not her issue. You gotta read all 185 posts.

Apparently the OP lives on the left side curve of a cul de sac. The landscaping neighbor lives on the right side curve of the next cul de sac over. (The next street) Therefore, there backyards converge. She doesn't seem to have a straight golf course view.

I read your post to my dogs and they are still laughing.

The description above is correct. The straight out, unobstructed view looks at the raised tee boxes. A view looking down the fairway looks through the two neighbors yards.

Isn't that called a "peek-a-boo" view? Commonly known as "now you have it, now you don't".

I suffer from Cynophobia, (fear of dogs). This is a malady that I have suffered from my entire life. With all the money I have spent on treatment, I could afford one of those expensive golf course lots. I sometimes feel trapped in my own home. I don't really feel relaxed at either of the squares. Yes, I noticed all the dogs during our "LSV". This is my problem, I deal with it daily. I DO have a dog problem. Please do not expect me to enjoy yours ,or anyone's dog.

My post was not directed at someone in your situation, it was directed at the people who are IMO control freaks taking the "easy shot" and (again IMO) sadists who zap the neighbors dog while it's in its own yard.

I would never suggest that you or anyone are expected to enjoy my dog, nor would I suggest you give PUMP-KIN a try because she is different. Clearly, you have tried to rid yourself of this phobia and have learned to respectfully deal with it.

You're probably better off without the expensive golf course view. I honestly have always gotten more from therapy and meds than golf. But hey, that's just me.
