Dear Mr. Gary, Hello. I am writing
this
letter to Say Something about your dog, Lucy. As you know I am doing my major in English at Centennial College and I have been preparing for my final exams which is imperative for me. Unfortunately,
due to
the frequent barks of your dog, I was not able to concentrate on my studies. I had sleepless nights because of
this
ongoing barking which diverts my attention away from tasks that I need to focus on. It is obvious you and your wife have your own occupations and are out of the home from morning till afternoon. It seems Lucy is highly dependent on you and through your absence barks a lot. Apparently,
this
kind of behaviour has been turned into its daily routine and recently it barks over all day constantly. Honestly, I am really worried about its physical and mental health. I had been faced with the same issue with my dog for a
while
. I decided to hire a pet trainer to change its deeds. I firmly suggest to you to do the same. Its bad habits will be corrected by the trainer
besides
the reduction of its anxiety. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. I will be accessible by my phone number and email address. Yours sincerely Isa Azim
