I have a problem with a barking dog next door and it's making life hell. Why is it that some people just don't care about others and in particular they don't give a second thought to how their pets may affect their neighbours? Some of us just want a bit of peace and quiet and I don't think that it's too much to ask for.
I live in a fairly small town, on the edges of it really. In the winter, it is pretty much bliss for me. Quiet, peaceful, and very little noise. It is exactly what I want and the reason I moved here in the first place.
Barking dog problem, how do you deal with it?
Three of the neighbours immediately surrounding us have large dogs. One family has two of them. The guy with the two dogs has well trained animals and obviously cares that they don't annoy other people. If they are out in the garden, with a word, he can have them stop barking. The other two folk, as soon as the better weather comes around their dogs get shut outside in the garden. One of the guys has his dog shut outside all day while he is at work.
This dog just barks constantly, and I do mean CONSTANTLY! As he sometimes heads off to work at weekends, that means the barking can start as early as 6.45am. No long lie in on a Saturday morning for me then... No quiet Sunday afternoons either. If you're ill or have a headache, too bad; the barking just goes on and on and there's no let up.
He knows his dog barks all day because he has been told about it. He's too selfish to do anything about it though and that dog is just left out there to make my life a misery. I am actually getting quite depressed that I cannot have a lazy Sunday morning or sit outside and enjoy my garden. I have been denied these simple pleasures I'm almost longing for winter again, just so that I can have some peace and quiet!
I would say to any dog owners out there, for goodness sake if yours starts barking it's head off, please think about other people and DO something. Don't just leave your pet out there.

to simplify matters however, we will merge our names and post under the new name of 'Doorbell grout'.
Now to the barking dog If the neighbour wont shift it or bring it in, the council will ORDER him to do so. If he STILL refuses, they apply to his better nature, who knows where that will leave us- as for him, tell him to look after the animals properly for it is a privilege to own such lovely creatures.
As I said I have had to go through it all with just one post - not easy for old Collar, with my ass of a neighbor who leaves her little doggy all day.
It finally COST her a fortune in bills for torn furniture and cleaning products.
That is my second post C. I will try for a third later. I am still unsure what my precise limit is.
The mainly unknown human cast was outstanding, badly let down by the animals who were, quite frankly a disgrace.
On and off-screen bickering between primate Judy and short-sighted lion Clarance was never far from the scandal pages at the time.
Demands from the bestial Prima-Donnas became more and more outrageous, and culminated in a highly publicized vice and drugs bust, which resulted in two elephants and a giraffe receiving prison sentences ranging from 5 to 15 years.
Iit has gone on almost continuously for the last weeks since they got it, is there an RSPCA leaflet that I can put through their door telling them what they should do to train this dog.
I know that they both can read as they claim to be chartered civil engineers.
Otherwise I shall do something deserate if it doesn't stop; I am also an animal, a sapient animal and my welfare is important, more so than a dog. How about a bit of perspective?
So didn't get a lot of sleep. When it finally stopped, I was so annoyed that I just couldn't get back to sleep and had to go in to work after just 2 hours rest.
I rent a flat, the dog's owner does the same. The landlord doesn't seem to care. Any suggestions?
