neighbours and Espresso (the barking poodle)

I have now been asked by my neighbour in Chatuchak to keep my dog quiet, which I understand. Espresso is only two years, and he is a poodle with a very big voice. He barks at the rubbish truck, at the motorbike taxi, at the cat on the wall, and at the fan. The neighbour upstairs is 60 and says the sound goes through the floor.

I spoke to her in Thai with my worst accent and she laughed a little and said it is fine, just try to make it less. So I bought a new toy stuffed with treats, a snuffle mat, and I walk him earlier before the traffic starts. It is working a bit. Not great.

The building manager gave me a warning letter though. First one. I am a bit embarrassed. He is a good dog, he only barks when he is bored. I need to take him to the park more, I think.
