Redditor Who's Fed Up With The Neighbor's Dog Barking At Him Wants To Know If It's Wrong To Start Spraying It
There are few things associated with chihuahuas. They are renowned for being adorable little bag dogs.
For such a tiny little animal, they are known to be aggressive, very protective, and to bark a whole lot. They seem to bark continually and for no apparent reason.
Although it is common and correctable, this type of behavior is deeply embedded in their innate tendencies. It happens much more frequently than you might imagine for a dog like this to bark just out of boredom.
When chihuahuas don't receive enough exercise during the day, they have enormous levels of energy that must be expended in some way. They frequently channel that additional energy into a loud, monotonous bark.
Although it is rather frustrating, this is fairly typical, and they need to find a way to release that energy. As you can already tell, we have a Chihuahua in today's story who has formed the habit of going under a hole in the fence to come bark at the OP through the window.
The OP works from home and is often on conference calls. The OP also has a cat who likes to sit at that window side, but this dog has posed a problem to both of them.
The OP is tired of being distracted during meetings because there's a strange dog in the yard standing 6 feet away and barking all day. Keep scrolling to find out what the OP intends to do about it.

If your dog is barking excessively to get off excess energy, the solution is rather straightforward - put their extra energy to use. Although it would not seem like a dog of that size would require much exercise or walking, they might require it more than some larger dogs.
These chihuahuas are breeds with high levels of energy, and if you don't use that energy, it will constantly surface.
