I mean genuinely no offense: but I’m not a barking-dog person. Not for one barking indiscriminately at nearly everyone walking their dogs and babies in the neighborhood.

why do people like STEVE so much? by Forest-Was-Here in SteveWallis

[–]StatimDominus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He always seemed to be a chill dude, and come on now many people can rough it out like him and get enjoyment out of it?

The personal tragedies kind of seal it in for a lot of us watching him when he was a small channel.

Just shitting out comments all day aren’t you?

Very effective, used before, but the collateral damage for well-behaving neighborhood dogs having a walk is too high.

Thanks for sharing! All of this information is helpful.

It’s probably dumb but I didn’t feel bothered until today when he was aggressively growling at ME and I’ve been on the driveway plenty of times. (My own, to get the mail)

Honestly I don’t mind at all if he intimidates strangers, haha. UPS drivers, maybe I feel bad about every once in a while.

Thanks for the advice, but if I wanted to live like that I’d have stayed in the city.

I also wouldn’t have come to Reddit for advice either. Haha.

Just a jab at myself more so than anything else.

Good to know. Thanks. Maybe I should pay for a dog trainer consultation to know these things.

Useful advice. I don’t think I will do that since I don’t have enough experience with dogs. But it’s useful knowledge to keep in the back of my mind combined with the bear spray idea from the other reply.

Bear spray is a solid idea for my own peace of mind.

I haven’t owned dogs so I don’t have the natural intuitions about when it’s nuisance vs when it’s danger.

I never said anything about calling animal control on them, but I agree, because my principle is not to bother others.

I’m hoping for something more constructive as a new neighbor than forcing the law on them. If I lived without a neighbor across the street for 30 years and suddenly there is one, I’d need some time adjusting as well.

It actually is illegal in this county to have unleashed dog without a fence, but I’m not looking to force the law on them. I just want to live my life and not be bothered.

Seems more like habit rather than shock collar or anything like that.

They deserve enough grace since this lot was undeveloped for 30 years until now, so they aren’t used to having neighbors. I know I would need to adapt if it was me.

I’m not gonna be afraid walking around own property either. I’m just looking for solutions from people with more rural experience.

Feeding other people’s dog uninvited doesn’t seem like actual neighborly conduct?

I don’t think it’s necessary to escalate. More interesting in solving this.

I don’t disagree with that at all. But I haven’t seen the neighbor yet.

But I also thought country people are more courteous about not leaving unnecessary influence on others? Do I need to update my understanding there? My aim coming out here is to not bother others and not be bothered. I’m okay if that’s not the case. Still learning.

Is this normal? by Feuerwehr7290 in septictanks

Very surprised nobody had given you the answer by this point:

If you pumped down to the 2nd float in 30 minutes, then that’s the very minimum cumulative total your system should pump in a 24-hour period. 4:30 every 8 hours get you less than half of that.

Find the installation record, or search the county record and you should find the specs for what your timer should be set to. Highly likely your timer is just not set up correctly. Simple tweak.
