So, you are relying on your neighbor to wake up from a nap to discipline YOUR dog?
If, even once, you have a complaint about your barking dog, leave it at home or stay there with it.
And BTW, I love dogs, just not yours, barking.
I'll second that. I would NEVER rely on someone else to discipline my dog. If you leave your dog and it barks, then you should go home with it. And I too love dogs!!!!
Of course he's not "relying on the neighbors" to discipline his dog. He's just "leaving them the key in case they have to move it" while he is away....
Thank you Jim! I refrained from answering for a while, because someone who would discipline a dog for alerting them to someone too close outside their RV or trying to get into their RV or vehicle or some other unusual event is in my opinion abusing the dog and sure doesn't understand dogs very well even if they claim to "love them"!
To Flanz and Noplace2, I was not talking about fluffy standing on the dashboard barking at everything that moves. That requires some preventive action, some training and maybe some discipline. By the way, this is about fulltiming, the RV is my dog's and my home so I will take your advice and leave/take my dogs home.
