I think the guy needs to relax, and you need to get bark collars for your dogs. Just because the guys an attourney does not mean that he can go around being a prick trying to sue you because your dogs bark. All dogs bark. But I would get the no-bark collars for your dogs before the guy does wig out and take you to court. "Draw freely upon your imagination" Albert Einstein

Derek Sanders Webboard User Reg: 10-26-2005 Posts: 27 Loc: Northern California Offline	First I am not an attorney nor am I offering legal advice. Even here in California where suing people is common place, being sued for a barking dog is a stretch. Is there more to this story, have you spoken to them about what they perceive is happening? I would also do a lot of research on local dog law, you may not be a lawyer but that does not mean you can’t be informed. But first call an attorney. Good luck

Can you begin a calm dialogue with them so they understand that you want to address their concerns and work with them? They sound a little over-the-top, but people do get weird when they're scared, and it can be startling and adrenalin-producing to have big dogs erupt at you, even with a fence in between. If your dogs are outside only occasionally, as you mentioned, then maybe you could be there. If you were a presence, in control of your dogs, I'll bet they would have a far different image of them, especially if you had expressed willingness to work with the neighbors. It's so much easier to deal with neighbors when there's no ongoing animosity -- and I know that I can overlook a lot more when I know the neighbor is trying to reduce the problem.
