The area they're walking by is a tiny walkway along the front side of the building (the layout in the front is kind of weird... I'll take a pic if I remember to next time I'm out with Jamie). They never walk next to windows on the open side of the building (the side that my bedroom/livingroom windows are on).

I mean I guess it's a popular spot for owners to bring their dogs to potty; there is an overhang so if its raining they're dry, or if its hot they're shaded, so I understand why they walk their pets there. But what I don't understand is why they think its ok to let their dogs bark into my windows at my cats.

My boyfriend doesn't want to put a sign up as he thinks it will cause unnecessary attention or trouble but I just don't know what else to do except walk outside the next time I see it happen and confront the owner. And I'm TERRIBLE at confrontations... I usually come off as being really rude and I don't mean to be...
