Hi Logan,

I was thinking about your problem and this is what I propose:

If you can (I know you work from home and have your fur babies to take care of), give the Yorkie some rawhide chews and treats during the day--that will kepp him busy, show him that you care and stop the barking.

As for the fact that he is kept outside all the time, that is disturbing because Yorkies are NOT outside dogs--they are very people oriented and really should be kept inside.

I would politely talk to your neighbors if this continues, explaining that he barks all day and that it's really not good for the Yorkie to get this upset everyday.

The bottom line is he is lacking affectionand that is very sad. If they continue after you talk to them about it, maybe you should anonymously call the ASPCA adn have them check it out.....it's not fair to the Yorkie to have him treated like that and if he's outside in the winter he will surely get very sick.
