What do I do?

Question

We live in a town home complex that shares walls on both sides. It’s supposed to be animal free, but Emotional Support Animals are allowed. Our previous neighbors on one side moved out and a new couple took their place. They have a six month old labradoodle that is so sweet, but is a puppy. When they leave the house they leave him in his crate and he looses is. He has currently been baking for an hour with no end in sight. I feel so bad for him, but I also have had puppies and understand that this happens sometimes. But I worry they are not training him to help his anxiety because it seems to be worsening. Point is, we are having a baby in December and this dog is going to wake our baby if this keeps up. I hope by then he has grown out of it, but I’m not sure if there is anything I can do. I typically just ignore stuff and move on, but I’m wondering if I should let our neighbors know about his anxiety. It only happens when they are gone. 
Should I let them know?

Answer

My dogs are 5 years old and everytime I even walk outside they start barking. I'm due in december and my doc said if I can hear it my baby can hear it and will be use to it by the time she us here.  We have trained them but they both still do it everytime. The only other option is giving them doggy xanax when we leave and the doc is ok with that but we are not. I'm not drugging my dogs. Dogs will be dogs unfortunately. And a new puppy probably doesnt necessarily have anxiety as much as hes confused why he is alone. Which is normal for a puppy. I would give it a little more time.

Answer

I would politely let them know. If he only does it when they are gone they might not know about it.

Answer

I’d gently let them know about it and say your only raising it as a concern since you will have a baby in a few months otherwise it wouldn’t worry you.

Answer

All I can say is whether my neighbour was pregnant or not if my dog was disturbing them I’d feel so bad and want to know.
I often wonder what our dog is like when we’re out and have asked the neighbours a few times just to make sure he’s not barking/crying and disturbing them.
They’ll probably be apologetic and look for a way to train him/stop his anxiety being so bad

Answer

Odds are, they don’t know since they aren’t there. I would let them know so they are aware of the situation and if it persists then you know to do something else

Answer

I had a neighbor once who had a beagle and she bowled when he was gone but only at night! We were each on our balconies one night and we talked about it casually and he was apologetic and said she only does it if she’s in the crate but when he leaves her out she destroys the apartment so he’s always torn what to do. If it bothers you I’d say something politely.
