My neighbour’s dogs are making life miserable, and I finally snapped.

We don't understand how people can be so irresponsible with their dogs, especially when it comes to barking. You live in the same house as your dog that barks constantly, do you just tune it out? Do you put on noise-cancelling headphones and just let everybody else deal with it? We certainly can't do that. The guilt would destroy us. If our dog barks even once at a noise outside, we're on her faster than the speed of light. We don't want to teach her that barking unnecessarily is okay. Once is a warning, twice is only allowed if there are intruders (we have yet to face that situation, thankfully).
But imagine hearing your next-door neighbors dogs barking from 6 AM until midnight. Every day. We would go insane. That's not just not fair to you, it's also not fair to the dogs.

Dogs barking for two hours straight is them trying to communicate that something is wrong. They are uncomfortable with themselves or their surroundings. Sure, dogs bark, but for that long consistently, it must be exhausting for them as well. At this point, they've gotten away with it for so long that training them to stop will be nothing short of a nightmare.

As someone who also owns a high-energy reactive dog, we would never allow this to happen. It's your job as their pawrent to understand their triggers and know how to manage them during these kinds of circumstances. It sounds like these people are just completely ignoring their dogs' needs and just expecting them to get better on their own. That's not the way dogs work. They can get better, but you have to teach them how to do it. That's the magic of dogs.

If they didn't stand up to them, someone else would have. They were warned, and they didn't listen. Moral of the story, kids, is be a good dog owner and an empathic neighbor. It's really not that hard, although for some, it's much harder than others.
