One of life's little pet peeves is your neighbors dog that doesn't stop barking.
You like your neighbor and do not want to argue with them, so there must be a way to solve this annoying problem.
Below are some tips that may help to stop your neighbors dog from barking.
First, is to try and have your neighbor invite you over so the dog becomes more familiar with you.
This way when you go out to get the morning paper or the mail, the dog will get use to seeing you.
Second, you can walk over to your neighbors house to check on the dog and the neighbor.
There may be something wrong and the dog is trying to tell you something.
In the event of such an occurrence, praise the dog for its good work, maybe even give it a treat.
Next, suggest to your neighbor that they give their dog some toys to play with.
You may even want to buy a few yourself.
A dog that is not bored and kept busy tends to bark less.
Sometimes dogs bark because they have nothing else to do.
Lastly, if the dog is barking, you may want to walk over and talk to it.
Barking is the way dogs communicate.
By you walking over and talking to it in a calm and pleasant manner, may help to calm the dog down and keep him them from barking.
Show the dog you are his friend.
