Every time their German Shepherd is let outside, he immediately starts barking, and doesn\u2019t stop. It can be 5 a.m., the middle of the day, or late at night. Rain or shine, it\u2019s non-stop as soon as he steps out. Our houses are pretty close together, and when he\u2019s in the backyard, he can see straight into a couple of our windows. Any movement inside seems to set him off even more. We have a dog too. Pete, our 5-year-old Golden Retriever. He\u2019s calm, gentle, and thankfully doesn\u2019t bark back. He mostly just watches in silence, although he once did try to pee on the neighbor\u2019s dog through the fence. I\u2019m not saying I condone it\u2026 but I understood the sentiment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1176\">The neighbors themselves are very kind, and their dog knows us and our family. I used to say hello to him regularly, hoping some familiarity would help reduce the barking, but unfortunately, it hasn\u2019t made a difference. My husband doesn\u2019t find it as disruptive, but I work from home, and the barking has really started to affect my concentration and sleep. I\u2019m not trying to start any issues with the neighbors. We like them. I&#8217;m just looking for a peaceful solution. Is there anything I can put on the fence, or any other method you\u2019d recommend, to help reduce the barking?&#8221; &#8211; Monica from Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1176\"><strong>Hi Monica &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"209\" data-end=\"472\">Thanks for writing in&#8230;and please give Pete a pat on the head for being such a mellow gentleman. Golden Retrievers don\u2019t always get credit for their restraint, but it sounds like he\u2019s handling the situation with quiet dignity (and the occasional strategic fence protest).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"814\">What you\u2019re describing with your neighbor\u2019s German Shepherd is actually pretty common, especially in high-alert breeds. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/harrisonk9.com\/family-protection\/\">Shepherds are natural protectors<\/a><\/span>, and when they\u2019re left outside with visual access to windows, yards, or passing squirrels, they often feel like it\u2019s their job to sound the alarm. It\u2019s not aggression. It\u2019s overstimulation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"927\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7515 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Petworks-Pet-Care-Service-Pro-Tips-e1736622469982.png\" alt=\"Barking Dog\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/>Here are a few approaches that can help calm the chaos, without putting stress on your neighborly relationship:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1324\"><strong data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"966\">1. Block the Visual Triggers<\/strong><br data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"969\" \/>Since a lot of the barking seems to happen when he sees movement through your windows, try installing a privacy barrier on your side of the fence. Options include weatherproof outdoor fabric, reed fencing, or tall planters with dense greenery. Even a partial visual block can help reduce his sense of needing to &#8220;respond&#8221; to what\u2019s happening on your side.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1609\"><strong data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1369\">2. White Noise or Window Coverings<\/strong><br data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1372\" \/>Inside your home, consider using sheer curtains or white noise machines, especially in rooms where the dog has a line of sight. This can help mute both the visuals and the sound, giving you some peace during the day (and early mornings).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png\" alt=\"Barking Dog\" width=\"704\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png 704w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-640x119.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>Are you finding this article useful?<\/strong> <\/em>Would you like 100% free access to more articles like these, and free access to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/request_quote\">over 5,000 vetted pet care service professionals<\/a><\/span> throughout the United States? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/join\">Sign up here <\/a><\/span>for a free PetWorks account, and we&#8217;ll email you a\u00a0 10% discount code, good towards your first pet care services booking on PetWorks!<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"2023\"><strong data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1655\">3. Consider a Friendly Conversation<\/strong><br data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1658\" \/>It sounds like you already have a good rapport with your neighbors, which is great. A gentle, honest conversation might go a long way. Something like, \u201cWe totally understand he\u2019s a protective pup, but we\u2019re having a hard time with the barking, especially early in the morning. Do you think there\u2019s anything we could try together to help ease things for everyone?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2107\">This keeps things constructive and shows you\u2019re open to solutions, not complaints.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2416\"><strong data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2140\">4. Dog-Safe Deterrents<\/strong><br data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2143\" \/>Some people find success with motion-activated devices, like ultrasonic deterrents or sprinklers. These give dogs a gentle, unexpected cue to pause. If you go this route, make sure anything you use is humane, non-harmful, and won\u2019t agitate your own dog Pete in the process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2423\" data-end=\"2672\">In the long run, the barking may not stop entirely, but with the right environmental changes, or even an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/animal-behavior\">animal behavior specialist<\/a><\/span>, you can likely reduce the frequency and intensity. And with Pete setting a great example, who knows. Maybe the neighbor\u2019s dog will start taking a few notes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2674\" data-end=\"2806\">Hang in there, Monica. You&#8217;re not alone in this. And you\u2019re handling it with care and patience, which already makes a big difference.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"2830\">Have a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peets.com\/\">Peet&#8217;s Coffee<\/a><\/span> on me!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"2830\">Kevin<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2171\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13720 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ask-kev-1.png\" alt=\"Ask Kev\" width=\"86\" height=\"86\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2171\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">PetWorks<\/span><\/a> Co-Founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kinyonkevin\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Kevin Kinyon<\/span><\/a> is a life-long animal lover who works tirelessly to improve the lives of pets and their parents.
