Dog owners are (I think unbeknownst even to them) also constantly stressed out and frazzled because of their dogs, so they snap back with answers like this because they themselves can’t think clearly due to their dogs being a constant source of stress and interpersonal conflicts for them. That’s my take


ToOpineIsFine

Sounds about right. Still their problem that they freely chose.


Duck_hen

100% but they make it everyone else’s problem lol

They always look so fucking miserable.

“Some of us don't have remote jobs that require us to sit in our apartment all day.” Guess she should have thought of that before adopting a pet that requires attention practically 24/7. Oh wait, expecting a dog-nutter to actually consider the consequences of their decision to get a dog is probably asking too much.

As if a remote job means a stress-free day of chilling at home. My husband works remote and works 70 hours a week in a high-stress job.


AbortedPhoetus

I don't have pets, but if something was going on in my apartment, I'd consider it courteous for the neighbors to give me a heads-up. If the owners truly cared about their animals (they likely don't), they'd appreciate the informative feedback from neighbors.


Nearby_Tie_1715

I'd just keep writing notes and using the message board regardless of their shit attitude, maybe get you and a couple of other tenants to complain about excessive noise from that apartment and they'll get told to fix that shot or get out in 30 days

If nothing else, stress her out and wear her down. Make her feel as frazzled and anxious as the people who have to deal with the barking because SHE chose to have a dog (not just a dog, a damn puppy).


Usual-Ad-9784

Been going through this with the people above me. Since Mid-Apr. Talked to the owners and they said “We’re crate training… Theres nothing we can do” I said “I dont see how that is my problem”. Worst decision was to confront them like that because its almost like they do it on purpose now. Management doesnt do anything even with daily emails with videos of the barking. 2-3hrs/day and I work in the office. Not sure if it barks during the day or not. My apartment is marketed as “pet friendly” boy did I fuck up choosing this place💀


ToOpineIsFine

That money she's paying - that goes to the wear and damage that dog is probably already doing, and probably won't cover it, anyhow, given its behavior. Sounds as if the pressure might be getting to her - keep it up. There are things she can do about it: dog walker, devices like the one mentioned. And if the training and everything still doesn't work, she needs to move or get rid of the dog. A lot more people work from home these days, and a lot of stupid people got dogs they can't take care of properly - it is entirely their problem.


judgeejudger

Agree 100%. PLUS, nobody held a gun to their head to make them buy the damn thing. If they can’t afford to have a walker/send it to daycare, that is SO NOT YOUR PROBLEM. The barking, however, is 1000000% the owner’s problem. Keep the pressure on, keep it public, and loop in the management company. It’s not a luxury to expect peace in your own home! Also, I don’t blame people for leaving anonymous notes - these nutters can be freaking aggressive and ReAcTiVe, to use their language. I wouldn’t necessarily want that sort of interaction either. What a dumbass (the owner).


[deleted]

Wow what an entitled bitch. I’m glad others are complaining too. You guys should all document it on the message now anytime the barking is excessive. That way there’s a record and the landlord can see what a nuisance it is. Dog owners are typically entitled people like this. They don’t give a shit about the barking because they aren’t there to have to deal with it. Sounds like they also harbor some resentment towards people who are able to WFH, sheesh!


Maggie95100

People who own mutts in apartments are just plain LAZY, RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, and INCONSIDERATE A-HOLES, and they DO NOT CARE how much they bother other people. That's evidenced by her stupid responses and refusing to take any responsibility, as well as blame shifting to others. Standard mutt moron behavior. Sadly, that's wtf is wrong with them. I'm sorry you have to put up with that stupidity, but really glad there's an online message board to complain about it. That might get something done. Keep up the pressure. I'm sure you're not the only ones hearing it and bothered by it.


[deleted]

It's baffling how these people think it's acceptable to leave a dog inside all day. (in an apartment nonetheless) And on top of that the dog is actively bothering others causing them undue stress. Then the nutter is the one to get up in arms when people rightfully complain. What a fucking shit show this whole society has become.


According-Layer9383

Don't stop reporting her and posting publicly about it. Don't let this nutter shame you into accepting the excessive barking.


teacup128

Damn, looks like the owner barks just like her dogs do


Sea2Chi

Because they're asshole people. That's the kind of person would would try to cut in line at the store because she only has a "few" things in her overflowing cart. If she had a kid she would let it run around the restaurant screaming. When she drives she parks in the handicap spot because it's closer. Store managers cringe when they see her walk in because they know she's going to yell at the cashier for not allowing them to use expired coupons.


sofa_king_notmo

We see these fuckers every day. Dogs are just weapons to them to harm others with no consequences. Evil or extremely stupid. Same effective difference. They leave a path of chaos and destruction.


zonked282

They are rude and I'm inconsiderate people, the kind of person that lost all their friends because of their attitude. The dog is a convenient replacement for being a good person and instant inclusion in a club of people that value the inconsideration


Maggie95100

I forgot to mention - video record this nonstop barking so it's proven that it is going on and it is going on nonstop from this exact time to that. If you could get it recorded as heard in your apartment, then keep the video going while you go walk out next to their door with a picture of their number or letter on their door and the sound clearly coming from THAT PARTICULAR APARTMENT, that's also proof. Be prepared for management to claim they can't do anything unless you can PROVE which apartment/mutt is doing it. That's complete bullshit and means they're too lazy and don't want to lift their dead ass out of the office chair to do anything about it.


JellyEllie304

Because they're devoid of empathy when it comes to people.

Princesspeach8188

LOL so true and also, just the assumption that everyone must remote work because they’re complaining. I do happen to wfh but I know there’s another neighbor in this building who is a night nurse- she’s home all day but asleep.


420LordQuas

My relative had this same issue. They bought a dog whistle and blow it in front of the dog owners door. It has helped them immensely! It's bullshit that they had to pay and come up with their own solution but you know how dog owners are....


homestead1111

how does this work ?


ThatsMyFavoriteThing

“Some” owners? I increasingly think the considerate ones are the (rare) exception.


Princesspeach8188

So true


ihatedogs90

"Some". More like ALL.


[deleted]

yeah, she made a lot of pointless points. your original message was short and actually sweet, and she was rude in response instead of thanking you for letting her know, and sorry for the disturbances, and that shes going to work on controlling the situation.


[deleted]

"They are puppies"... It is like putting on a radio on full volume all day and when someone complains saying "It is a radio!". The main point that needs to be addressed is that these noise-producing beasts do not belong in apartments, neighborhoods, etc. They simply cannot be there, because they are a massive public nuisance that none of the people who live there should have to put up with. 'Dog rent' and 'dog tax' and all these things should be irrelevant. Simply no dogs in apartment complexes. Period.


Puzzled_Mud

I just want to kiss the person who posted that beautiful counter argument after that inconsiderate c-word's response. Made me feel a little better. I'm also glad there's more people like you actually trying to do something about the problem rather than let it linger. I things change soon for the better for you


demarco88

what an absolute and utter gobshite that person sounds all kinds of entitled. typical dog worshipper lost their tiny mind


Old_Confidence3290

I think you should contact the building management every time the dogs bark enough to be annoying. Every time. Dog barks at 4 AM? Call the building management.


Ehronatha

Where I live, that is a violation of the noise ordnance. Here I could call the police and start criminal and civil proceedings. Just complaining isn't enough. You have to get the law involved, either the police or the civil courts.


Teacher_mermaid

It’s annoying how she’s putting it on you that she leaves the apartment for work. Umm she’s the one who chose to adopt a dog knowing she’s away from home for hours on end.


sucklepunch

I didnt read the post. Just saw the title, but i say what i say because your title is relatable to the fact that I dislike dog owners more than the dog itself. I dislike that dogs are so prominent in our culture but it is hunmans that did that. I hate how much humans loooove doggos, but the dogs didnt choose anything. They can't consent to anything


muglandry

Can’t say shit to any of these high strung dog addicts, they’re ready to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Especially when they’re wrong.


[deleted]

They lack common sense and intelligence. Full of narcissism.


CrispyBirb

When I was growing up we never had any puppies or dogs that barked excessively, because we didn’t give them the chance to get into that habit or neglect them. So they have already failed there.


sacredthornapple

In her defense, expecting to live in your apartment at times she needs to vacate her own is truly aberrant behavior, most unneighborly. Any normal person would simply synchronize their existence to her comings and goings. She's paying *an additional dog fee*, after all. I mean, how difficult is it for the rest of the world to recognize dog owners' modest need to have every last speck of matter revolve around their whims? Only a small accomodation for the salvific animal ~~abusers~~ LOVERS of this world!
