I work as a dog sitter/dog walker. One of the dogs I take regular walks with lives in a house with a really big fenced in garden. So I usually bring a couple of dogs over to her so they can play there (with the owners consent of course). It’s really convenient for me since there’s no dog parks nearby and the dog love it. I’m there every weekday from around 11 pm to 12 pm. And of course when dogs play it can get a bit loud sometimes but it’s never an hour of constant barking.

Well the other day one of the neighbors told me the dogs are making too much noise and is disturbing him when he does his yoga. I told him it’s only for an hour in the middle of the day and maybe he could do his yoga after. But he told me I had to take the dogs someplace else because it’s rude and disturbing. I double checked with the owners and they said he can’t tell me what to do with their dog on their property and that they would talk with the neighbor. But now every time I see him he gives me the stink eye. But I really don’t want to stop taking my other dogs there because then the dog who lives there won’t get to play with them anymore and I can tell how much she loves to play with them.

So am I the asshole if I keep taking my other dogs there and disturb the neighbor? I understand it can be disturbing but it’s not constant barking and it’s only for an hour in the middle of the day.
