Barking dogs push neighbors to consider moving after attempts to resolve
A reader says they followed Annie’s advice to approach noisy neighbors with empathy, but persistent barking has left them considering relocation.
Dear Annie: I have read your responses to letters about barking dogs and neighborhood noise, and I appreciate the calm, compassionate way you approach these conflicts. You encourage people to start with empathy, assume good intentions and try to work things out neighbor to neighbor. That sounded wise to us, so we followed that advice exactly.
