About the Barking Dogs

Post date: Aug 20, 2012 5:47:33 PM

Almost no one likes barking and snipping dogs at their feet. Children usually ignore them, home owners like the alarm, and guests are often terrified. This one (above) was a constant noise and threat throughout a camp in Bogota. He was obnoxious and basically harmless. His Rottweiler cousin up the street and in the neighbors porch where children had to pass daily for a class was terrifying. The primary concern is whether a dog will bite and if he or she has rabies. Asking neighbors to leash their dogs is one solution but not always possible. We learned to live with this one who eventually learned everyone and snipped at newcomers. We never totally solved this issue. Advice?
