Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark
 
Some friends and I played Fox Run at Glenwood Golf Course today. From the 4th hole, all the way past the 7th hole, we could hear dogs at or near the Doggy Doo Run park barking and barking and barking and barking. Really loud!!!!

It wasn't a problem for us because we were through there in a fairly short period of time, but, we discussed, what about all the people who live along that area. How can they stand that all day long, every day?

The train passes my house, but is gone in a minute or two, but those dogs........GAWD........they didn't stop. I can't imagine what it must be like to try to sit outside and listen to that.

I think the Dog Park was operating and approved before the houses were built. And I would guess DDRR has the appropriate zoning in place.

But I don't know, I'll leave it up to the expert (Tal) to replyl

I've biked along 101 and heard the continual barking of dogs also BUT it was coming from a property across from DDR and not from DDR. (Disclaimer: I have absolutely no connection with DDR).

This dog park borders farmland.

The Doggie Doo Run Run is at the corner of CR101 and CR104 and has its east side shared with Fox Run at Glenview Golf Course as well as its north side partially shared with it.

The two areas though were most of the barking is as well as the residential area owned by one of the Doggie Doo Run Run partners-- Gene and Scott--are closer to CR101 than to the golf course. These are the 2 areas for small and large dogs as well as the dog day care areas.

There are horses, pigs, breeding dogs and other animals close by at neighboring farms near CR101 and CR104. As JuneRoses mentioned though there are noisy dogs at nearby farms as well.

You even hear a braying ass from time to time that seems louder than any of the dogs' barks.

There were even reindeer at one time near the Doggie Doo Run Run.

The Doggie Run Run did change its hours from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. to accommodate noise complaints. It closes at 6 p.m.

Juneroses, good observation.

Talkhost, IMHO, I think that the noise you are hearing when you golf isn't coming from DDRR at all. I've been at DDRR when there was no one else there and it was totally quiet there. And I've heard constant barking coming from the west side of CR 101 ... across the road from DDRR. I think there must be some type of boarding or breeding facility there.

When I feel like "getting away from it all", I head for DDRR and it's very serene environment. I sit on a swing in the back field, that borders the golf course, and it is usually extremely quiet there.

All dogs are accompanied by their owners. Even when it is very busy at DDRR, I've never heard a lot of barking going on.

The farm that became Doggie Doo Run Run...
 
used to be a pig farm from the scuttlebutt at Doggie Doo Run Run.

The pig farm predates the Villages' houses but I would doubt that Doggie Doo Run Run does.

I'd personally rather have barking dogs any day than the smell of a pig farm. barf

Actually Barefoot...
 
I talked with a neighbor of the Doggie Doo Run Run last week who was out barking at my dog-- the man was trying to get my dog to bark-- who said that he had 15 pigs and that his sow had recently given birth to piglets. I am not sure that this 15 pigs included the piglets or not.

Is 15 pigs a pig farm???

I have never smelled anything from the house where the man said last week he had 15 pigs.

I've never seen a barking pig.:a20:
