We live in a rural area where most everybody has 3 to 10 acres, but our house and dog pens are at the front of our 5.3 acres, so we are within 50-100 yards of three neighbors. Therefore, I MUST keep them somewhat quiet at night. I've never gotten a noise complaint yet and I intend to keep it that way. I mostly let them carry on as much as they want in the daytime, but after dark they can tune up for a minute or so but when I stick my head out the window or door and say "COOL IT" they had BETTER shut it off, because next is the warning "don't MAKE me come OUT there" - and next is COMING out there with the hose or a switch. I maybe have only gone out there once every few months, but all but the newest know when I tell them to chill they CHILL! Then again they just aren't really barkers, even for a pen full of hounds, if they tune up and keep going for awhile something is usually up- more than likely the donkey teasing them by marching up and down the fence!
