Villas and barking dogs
I’m considering buying in or adjacent a villa area.
I appreciate the walls for the privacy they provide. Those walls can be convenient for dog owners as well. I’m wondering if those same dogs create a noise nuisance. Is this a problem? 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. |

You can’t pick your neighbor. Most of the time you are correct that dog owners are reasonable and responsive. “Most of the time” is the operative phase.

We move in on Sept 5th, and have large dogs (Great Pyrenees and Labrador) and while I can't speak to other dog owners, we are very concerned about our dogs and barking. They grew up on 11 acres and are used to "protecting" us from UPS deliveries, and other strange creatures that might approach our property.
We have been working on calming them down when strangers come over. Our plan is to put in video/audio monitoring so we can know if they get excited while we are out - with two way audio we will also be able to talk to them and hopefully calm them. If they are still a problem we will bring in a professional trainer to help. Coming from the country with the nearest neighbor being over a 1/4 mile away, we take the change to a postage stamp yard, and the ability to borrow sugar by reaching out of the kitchen window seriously and want to make it as painless as possible for both us and our new neighbors. |

We have a villa and a dog. Our neighbor to the east has two dogs and the neighbor to the west has one. I occasionally hear them bark but it has never been a problem. We are in a block and stucco villa and the sound level inside is very minimal. Our dog stays inside when we are gone and has never made a mess.

There is no mention of restricting dog barking, and no definition of "moderate". So, I guess from what I can see there is no limit on dog barking during the day and up to 10 PM at night. Some third party would have to decide if a dog barking is preventing someone else from enjoying their property, and if our actions to control and moderate the dog barking is insufficient. Personally, I find the sizzling of a neighbors bbq grills to be quite offensive and disruptive of my enjoying a vegan meal in my lanai... I think we all need to get along, and anyone purchasing a CYV that does not like dogs or dog barking would have to explain to an arbitrator why they bought there knowing there was going to be dogs, and the dogs are going to be barking, when the CYVs are sold as the solution to seniors that want dogs that bark. |

Some dogs have serious separation anxiety. When they are home alone they can bark non-stop for hours, I don’t know how the dogs vocal chords can handle it but somehow they can. |

I understand and agree with you about dog barking can be annoying. I know that as I get older being woken from sleep can lead to not being able to get back to sleep - not enjoyable at all. I have read many places how renters can and do have annoying habits - sad they are allowed in the same villas with residents, but I understand the economic incentives to some. My reason for wanting AV monitoring while away from our house is so I know what is going on and with 2 way audio, I can try to calm the dogs by talking to them. And if it turns out they are barking frequently I know I have to take additional steps. |

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.

We have lived in our villa for 8 years and have never been bothered by a barking dog. I know some others have had problems but it usually gets worked out.
