why does my bark all the time?

I'm guessing your dog is the one barking? =0) Pet stores sell bark collars that either beep at a really high pitch when they bark to annoy them or there are ones that beep first to warn them and then deliver a mild electric shock if they don't stop. We had a sheltie puppy that barked all day but the collar worked. Eventually we only threatened to put the collar on and he would be quiet

get an airhorn: like the type for boats.  whenever they laugh, send a blast their way.  i trained my neighbor's dog (that barked 24/7) that way.  aversion therapy.

Let him know of what behaviour you find annoying.  Go for a walk alone and/or take some time for just you.

This could be a hardware problem in your modem.\n\nThere are many things to check and look at first though.\n1) modems (typ[ically) have a jack in the back for a phone.  Plug a phone in and dial the number exactly as your modem does - see if you hear a busy signal - if not try with your modem.  If it is buy - it's busy.\n2) If you get loud squeals your modem should be able to connect - however; if your modem is saying it's busy then your modem is having a hard time communicating with this other modem.  Ask your ISP if they have another phone number you can try.\n3) I have seen this issue before - as an issue with how your modem communicates with the other modem - which typically means it is your modem that is having problems and may need to be replaced.  Before going out and spending $$$ for a new dialup modem though contact your ISP they should be able to walk you through some troubleshooting steps to better assist you.   - If not you can always try and see if there is a local bulletin board system that you can call into to test your modem.

As long as its not a "ringing". That is a symptom of high blood pressure at times.  Squeaking may be fluid in the ear....not sure. Call your doctor to be sure.

It's a given that all dogs are different, so it would be hard to just pin down one reason why the 7 others didn't bark as much.  Some thought for this...fear of their surroundings, their nature of just being a quieter breed, their personality and being comfortable in a kennel, etc.  The 3 who barked would be more interesting to me, because of the reasons why they WOULD be barking in the first place.\n\nI have 5 dogs in my house at the moment.  My chihuahua (2 year old-Hoku) barks at the tiniest sound because of his size I believe, and his bark being a warning (he was the ONLY male mammal here until my daughter's dogs and cats arrived last week!).  The 12 year old cocker/peke mix barks because it's a peke's nature to do so and to greet us if she hears us driving up...the 15 year old chihuahua/beagle doesn't bark at all, unless the others are going crazy.  As for my daughter's two dogs...they have NO need to bark..they're rottweilers, and size alone is intimidating (as my chihuahua Hoku will tell you if he could talk!) LOL\n\nYou didn't mention anything about any dogs howling, but some do that in kennels (my daughter is a vet tech and tells stories about dogs boarded where she works) because they're lonely and miss their masters like crazy.\n\nAnyway, just a little food for thought...and my personal opinion while observing my own pack! :)

maybe you should talk to a doctor about this. maybe something in your life has changed to trigger this behaviour

It may be possible that your phone line is not working well \ncheck your telephone if its producing strange sounds then you must contact your line-man and solve this problem.

I had the same problem. My downstairs neighbour complained constantly about my cat (my cat!) walking around... she had my landlord come and check to make sure I didn't have a large dog in the apt. I became a nervous wreck trying to tiptoe around doing my normal activities and trying to keep my cat from running around too much.  The apartment mgr. knew that it wasn't my fault but there was nothing more she could do about this complaining tenant. Eventually, I just moved out.  \n\nI am sure your normal activities seem loud to them in the apartment below, because many apartments are not solidly-made enough to muffle noise.  That is why I never would live in a ground-floor apt. if noise bothered me (which it doesn't).  You should ask your landlord if you can move into another unit, preferably on the ground floor.  They may accommodate you because they are probably tired of these other people's complaint.  Of course, the one drawback is - if you move into a ground floor apartment, the tenants above may seem noisy to you.  But - you seem sane and probably wouldn't treat anyone above you the way your downstairs neighbours are treating you.  They sound crazy and there is absolutely no dealing with them - get out before the situation escalates... Good luck!

Yeah, they're all talking about their favorite all-time baseball player, where they can find house shingles, and the stuff on the outer layers of those trees they mark. ; )\n\nSeriously, I don't know if it's conversational in nature, but probably more of a territorial thing: they bark to let other dogs know they're around and as a warning to not trespass. My guess is that when the last one barks, he/she knows the other dog "left."

I have one. The Phantom is on the side of the house under the living room window(living room in on 2nd floor). I hear knocking some nights on the wall. There is no plumbing on that side of the house. At first, I thought it was a joke. So while the knocking was going on I snuck down stairs, all the lights where off and looked out the window. Nothing, and it stopped as soon as I got near the window. My dogs never barked either, very strange. I don't think about it much but it still happens about every month or so. I ignore it now.

use one of those canned air boat horns- they should hear it then\n\nhave you tried unplugging your phone (if its a land line)

Believe it or not, if that speaker is near your computer, your monitor or another electronic device, try moving it away from the other device.\n\nIt may be that you have RF (radio frequency) interference that is causing the problem.

My dogs do that alot at night too.  I asked this same question on Yahoo! Answers about 3 weeks ago.  My dogs howl usually when an emergency vehicle goes by (when they hear a police siren, fire truck, ambulace, paramedics).  I think the sound hurts their ears, however, all the other dogs in the neighborhood too, so it could be the "pack instinct".
