Dogs Always Barking…?

Hi all! I’m new to Yakima from the western side of the state. I’m loving the lack of traffic, wide open skies, and the dry heat is so nice compared to high humidity. My only issue is with my neighbors, their dogs to be more specific. I’m a dog owner and love dogs but I can’t understand why nearly every home surrounding my apartment complex has dogs in the front yard barking all day and night - this is truly (unfortunately) no exaggeration. I’ve had one dog follow me and my dog and another dog ran at me and my dog, and the neighbor lazily called the dog back home. This may be a silly question but is this just neighborhood specific? I had to move here quickly for my job and did not have the time to scope out housing more thoroughly. If what I’m facing is neighborhood specific, what ARE the quieter neighborhoods in the city with good sidewalks for walking dogs or walking myself (without being barked at every corner)?

PSE or Consulting?

I'll keep this short. I am in an incredibly fortunate position and have been offered two employment opportunities. 1. An entry-level enviro sci. position at a consulting firm. 2. A utility forestry work planner for Asplundh. When considering commute, benefits, etc., pay is roughly the same. Neither position is my "dream" or end goal. I am looking at them both as stepping stones. Which role better positions me for future career opportunities?
