Dog friendly?

I wonder if our neighbours like our dogs. When be bought our house we wanted a big yard. So we found a house on 1500 m2 lot. There was already a fence around it so we built a fence in the same style on the yard. We enclosed about a 500 m2 area for the dogs. So all we have to do now is open the door and let the dogs out whenever they want to go out. They like, we like but I’m not so sure that the neighbours do.

Two of our dogs are very territorial. They bark at neighbours, people and/or dogs going by (it’s a heavy trafficked road), strange sounds and dogs barking in the distance. Generally anything they can see or hear. This is their territory. We usually try to call them in when they start barking, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

I wonder what the neighbours think of this. The male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel doesn’t bark loudly but the Hound/Labrador mix do. She can really bark. Well so far no complaints…

    So long as they aren't barking in the night or wee hours of the morning, you're probably fine! :-)
    Is your house decorated for Christmas?!?!!?

    Well, as long as they don't the police, all is ok.
    Is that's how you want to find out.
    PS: take responsability, will avoid problems.

    This is Finland, nobody calls the police because of barking dogs unless you got 30 Rottweilers howling trough the night outside every night.

    And for the police to actually show up the dog(s)would have to attack someone or destroy something outside our yard and since we have them in a fenced area in our own yard I'm not worried about the police showing up whatever noises they make. They can't do anything about it. But I like to be on friendly bases with my neighbors, that's what I'm worried about.
