It is my experience we find the same general types of folks everywhere. I think that more law abiding people and rule followers live in The Villages than any other place I have lived. May be how they were brought up that stuck. Our moms were a lot STRICTER.

Don't know in Mallory you live but there is a portion of it that backs up to that farm. I live down the road from Mallory so a distance from that farm area.....have heard a dog barking (distance though) from time to time. Could it be from there???
I do agree that "some" people don't abide by the leash laws. I've seen walkers with their pet, not on a leash AND have seen them at the postal stations too. IF there would be any type of altercation where their dog bit someone, they would be held libel and even have to pay vet or doctor bills, depending on the situation. NOT worth being sued over. Just because things "might" have been different back where they moved from, it's up to folks to find out the laws and rules in their new location. |

I agree, please talk to the neighbors. Something might be wrong inside, or they may not realize their dog barks incessantly when they're gone.

We don't live anywhere near a farm as far as I'm aware. We are close to the Mallory mail center.

Elaine Bennis has experience in matters such as this. You'll need someone who can drive at night and into the forest.

Go to the Mallory area on the south-side of Stillwater and turn on the 1st street, right (going down the hill from the mailboxes. IF you go to the far edge of the subdivision ( forget street names) you will see fences backing to people's homes. Same in Amelia. The fences divide T.V. from a farm. If the "air" is just right sometimes you can hear animals---or used to be able to. BUT in your case, it may be a clue-less Villager. Hope you get this annoyance resolved!

So far.....so good today. No further barking that I can hear. As for the farm.....I'm not near enough to that area to be able to hear a barking dog. This dog was only two or three blocks away from my house.

There are those with good hearing and those with bad hearing and those with a heightened and irritated response to some sounds sometimes called hyperacusis.
I can't stand to hear a baby crying for very long. Or fingernails on a blackboard...…….or some current music. My sister can't stand to hear people chewing...and sadly I am always eating stuff. I have to, three times a day. We humans are so different and many require patience. Good morning. It's another beautiful day in The Villages.

A few years ago, I dog sat for a friend and the dog was unaccoustomed to staying alone and barked like crazy until I returned. When I arrived home there was a note on my door from neighborhood watch. Think you should give them a call.

I went to stay with my newly retired parents in Tennessee some years ago. A dog barked all night. I told my parents I could not sleep. They said...well, you are in the country. I went to the drug store and got those "gummy" type earplugs (the foam type don't help with noise). They helped. there are also "white noise apps" (google it) that sound a bit like rain and cover all noises.
But lets home you don't have to do there in this situation. Your neighbor with the dog may have come from "the country" where it was acceptable. I agree it is not acceptable here. If you talk to them and they do not cooperate and then you call the law, you are in a pickle. I say write an anonymous, but kind note, assuming they are well meaning but don't know the dog is disturbing others. Then if nothing changes, work with the law. I feel so very sorry for the dog, who is expressing distress with constant barking, but I love animals and deplore some of the ways our society thinks it is OK to treat them...but that was not the subject of this thread so I will stop. |

Absolutely call someone when there is sudden prolonged barking. The owner may have had a stroke, cardiac arrest...it could be an emergency and the poor dog is trying to get someone's attention. That would be my first thought. If that isn't the case, at least you checked to make sure someone didn't die.

Having had barking dog issues in other neighborhoods, I inquired as to The Villages' policy on this before buying here. I never really got an answer. Penned or chained dogs bark out of boredom and frustration. Often the owner is at work or away, and not aware of it, but it's still a nuisance and a violation of most noise ordinances. The first couple of times, I politely asked the neighbor to do something, but, since there was no easy fix for them they typically become indignant, one even insisting that her dog had a "right to bark". The last time this happened, I called Animal Control rather than the neighbor. After two warnings, and an imminent citation, they apparently started leaving the dog indoors when they were at work. I remained anonymous. Thank you, Animal Control!
