I am wondering how common this is. Is there a dog or dogs that yours just does not like and will go out of their way to bark at?
My apartment is right outside of the complexes pool area. Lately, a couple has been hanging out there with their two dogs (one yorkie, one rat terrier). These dogs bark and yap at any dogs coming by. So, when we go outside for a potty break and they are out, they always storm over to the fence to bark, but Leo also has to hear them all the time barking at other dogs when he is inside.
He was fine with them in the beginning, but now he gets annoyed and barks/growls right back. Its gotten to the point that he is immediately on alert everytime we go outside and scans the pool area in order to see if the dogs are out and he can angrily bark at them. We could go out in the middle of the night and he is craning his neck to see if the dogs are out.
Does your dog have a nemesis?
