The great Chinese philosopher Confucius said it all with the golden rule--we should not do unto others what we don't want others to do unto us. This has been considered the golden rule for time immemorial as it practically applies to any aspect of life, and that includes being a dog owner. In terms of raising your dog, the golden rule dictates that you should be a responsible dog owner as much as you would like your neighbors to be responsible with raising their pets too.
To bring your neighbors and your dogs closer to you, you can do the following tips:
1. Train your dog. To prevent your dog from disturbing your neighbors, you need to conduct some simple dog training such as teaching your pet where to poop, where to sleep, and other simple tasks so your dog will not be a liability as well as a nuisance to your neighbors.
2. Make your dog interact with other dogs and other people. Allot enough time for your dog to socialize with other dogs and with other people. You should also train your pet to know at whom to bark to and whom not to bark to. This means they should be taught not to bark at your friendly neighbors as this could be really rude.
3. Treat your dog properly. A nice and friendly dog largely reflects on how well he is treated, although some dogs are by nature fierce and some are naturally tamed even without much dog training. Still, you should treat your dog properly by feeding him on time and attending to his basic needs such as providing exercise and walking to prevent him from protesting and making unnecessary barking that could rouse and irritate your neighbors.
4. Make your dog feel comfortable and safe. Pets that are well taken cared of are always happy. When properly taken cared of, dogs grow healthy and friendly. Regularly bathe him, feed him on time, and make sure he's always comfortable and safe.
5. Provide a safe and healthy environment for your dog. Avoid having your dog annoy your neighbors like sleeping on their mats or pooping at their porch. Give him a safe and conducive environment. Make his doghouse well ventilated, clean, and spacious. This way he would always love to stay there and not anywhere else where your neighbors will be disturbed or annoyed.
6. Practice responsible dog ownership. A responsible dog owner will know exactly what his pet needs and will provide them accordingly. This is so his pet will not wander about in the neighborhood barking at the unfamiliar faces or roaming around looking for food and a good place to call home.
