When we first moved here - the builder let us have the keys before the sale was finalized, so we could get carpets etc. laid prior to moving in. One day I had to be there to await a delivery and realized that the dog (a big German shepherd)in the house behind ours barked non-stop. It lived outside during the day, the owners worked and I was ready to strangle it with my bare hands after 6 hours!
It got to the stage where I was considering pulling out of the sale, but DH reasoned that I was out myself quite a lot during the day, so we moved here.
About 6 months later, it’s tether snapped and it jumped the back hedge and was killed on the main road.
We had working spaniels and they are trained not to give tongue (bark) especially outdoors.
