I'd like to say there is a house a few down that is a rental, they have a pit and a couple ankle biter dogs. They are usually in the hose but when they tie them out front they are ignored and they don't care if they bark for hours, the pit pulls at its chain and snarls at people as they go by. If the pit sees me out working in my yard several houses down it does the same thing. To make a point one day it was doing that to me I went to the shed got my pitchfork looked their way (they were out), nodded and thrust it in the ground, the owner nodded back. It gets lose and comes after me it is getting skewered to the ground with five tines.
Others on the block have German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers and a few nondescript small dogs and none of them act this way and if they bark for any length of time they get yelled at to stop.
