Hello fellow redditors, I need your help! I currently moved from an apartment with a small patio to a house with a big yard in the countryside. My neighbors are close and the only fences between the properties are bushes.
I have two boxer dogs, one is an 8 m/o [M] and the other is 7 y/o [F].
They are currently loving running around the house, going on sniffing adventures and such, but, every time a car, motorcycle, bike, pedestrians, pass by the house, they get very protective and start barking and chasing them. They are not violent and don't bite, if I call them they listen and come to me. The problem is the neighbors are pissed and want them to stop.
I've trained them with the basics, "come" "stay" "here" "out" "in" etc. When we lived in the apartment they knew their boundaries but in this new place I can't catch them in the act so I can scold them and understand that they are acting wrong.
So, any tips/guides/links so I look up, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
