Yeah I hear and see barking all the time. Including at night, from my appartment.

Almost every night around 12 to 1 AM when I'm trying to sleep 

Well, just this morning I was woken up by a dog barking, stupid animal was sitting right next to my bed. Of course our dog is not Chinese. 

But I do think there is lots of barking. There is a lot of dogs that seems to be trapped in the same confined area, day in day out, and some of these do bark at passers by. 

Dogs don't bark when they are walking around, mostly they bark when they think they are guarding.

I see one barking on this site on and off about her personal problems. 

Yes, I'm passing daily by 2 tied up dogs in the house behind high wall. When entrance doors are open, I can see them and talk to them. When I pass by the wall, dogs bark, but different than when they bark at usual people. Dogs greet me! hahahah

Once in Heilongjiang, I was passing by donkey tied for the tree. Every day, I said to a donkey: 'Good morning. How're you today?'

One day I passed, donkey just get wild, screaming (iaia) and howling. I was thinking, it was ready to rape me. True story!

When I am approaching my apartment, neighbour has 2 'battery' size dogs in brown reddish colour. They're always barking at me and kids. So, I always say one' command': 'Be nice! Stop barking!', and I continue walking. Dogs're chasing me till I move toward my 'mansion', because feral cat has stop under my balcony, and dogs are chasing 'my' feral cat. I protect 'my cat', and tell dogs to f.o. I have small Zoo here. LOL
