He's less than 2yo so barks at birds and squirrels and walkers. We also live in the country with multi-acre lots so not really sure of the problem. We def don't leave him out all day. Oh and neighbor's wife has severe anxiety, so I'm sure that doesn't help. Trying to find a balance between GFY and completely adjusting our lifestyle to accomodate someone elses. Leaning into GFY once I learned the husband texted me. Like cmon, don't text me when you 'I've next door. Come talk to me like a man.  

 Oh. Geez. 

Yeah. GFY is much more appropriate than anything else if the guy can't even come over and talk face to face.  

 I try to work with my dog to not alert to everything. But um she’s a dog and they bark. Just like humans sometimes they open their mouths at stupid moments. 

It is helpful to try to maintain a friendly relationship with neighbors. Makes life easier. Gotta find the line of GFY and being overly accommodating. 

 Exactly.
