Well, in some western countries such as Germany where dogs are treated as well as if not better than human beings, there are strict rules about possessing dogs and the noise levels that will be tolerated. Neighbours of dog owners whose dogs bark incessantly during afternoons or after 10 PM at night can complain to the police about the noise levels and have action initiated against the owners. As a result, all the pet dogs are well-trained.
While dogs as pets are an inevitable part of several people's lives here in India, very little emphasis is laid on providing them appropriate training. Unless authorities mandate some sort of basic training which teach dogs to refrain from barking without reason, people living around houses with noisy dogs will have to put up with the inconvenience. Since guide dogs are thoroughly trained before they are sent into the field, the likelihood of them causing such inconvenience is very low.

There should be some way to co-exist with the animals for they are very part of nature. If we start behaving like this perhaps tomorrow no one would like to be disturbed by even birds, cats, flies.... list is endless. At the end of the day tolerance is what that makes a man! -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
