anyone else have a barking dog next door?

[tiggywink92]

I have lived in our home here for nearly 30 yrs.  Never had dog problems:-(  The last 18 months has been TERRIBLE.

  2 doors down had  a dog that has left me that anxious that barked hours and hours until its voicebox squeaked.  Owner said to council i dont care im not home to hear it.  All us neighbours were about to take him to court and thank goodness he sold the house and left. Council  is hopeless they do nothing he got 5 fines and didnt pay.   2 WEEKS later metres from our house at the back new neighbours moved in with a dam other new dog and then the next WEEK neighbours behind us even closer about 7 metres from their house to ours got a new puppy let it bark at the back at their back door.  Thought it was quiet the dog has gone and last week that neighbour had a english bulldog which i never heard.  THe other neighbours behind us moved as the  house went for sale. It WAS SO QUIET for 2 months i would sit outside and just relax thinking how relaxing it was to just have quiet.

WELL these eldery couple has just got a new DAM PUPPY she lets it out early in the morning and lets it yappy yap yap 3 barks a second right near our bedroom window.  I drove around and shes home i saw her come to the window.  WHY WOULD YOU LET A DAM DOG metres around other homes just let it yap for ages.  Its under the verandah so it just echoes right through our home.  Im back again closing the sliding doors, windows and putting the tv on and i still can hear that dam mutt of a dog.

Rang the council yet again and they are hopeless.  We have just finished extending and our home is pretty large now everything is done and i dont want to move but my nerves cant take it:-(

AND the other  neighbours right behind us on our double storey i heard some crying and they have a new BLUE HEELER dog.  The council told me they need to be walked 15 kms a day.  Their back yard is tiny and right near our back family room and bedroom.

Im about to write these other neighbours a letter but HONESTLY common sense why move into a new neighbourhood and just ignore its yapping so dam rude!!!

sorry just need to vent.  I have a golden and we have taught him from day one not to bark and the other neighbour thought he was gone as he never hears our dog.

daydream, Awww lab x beagle puppy..so jealous..

both breeds are super smart..any pics of lacey?

I agree with what youve written- the owner needs to be trained so that they can train the dog..

I still wonder why a person would buy a dog and then go off to work all day, as if hoping the dog trains and entertains itself.

I feel v bad for dogs that are treated this way.

Ive told the neighbour to ring the council as they have good ideas what to do.  Myself and our neighbour next to me gave her ideas.  Yes im sure the other neighbours if they were home all day or when they have hoildays and are home will get fed up:-(

i found the council hopeless here.  The dog that barked all day until his voice box went the rspca said as long as he has water outside they cant do anything.  That dog was so upset im amazed his voice box didnt explode and the owner was an idiot.  I so feel for the neighbours where he moved to:(

[tiggywink92]

well i wish you were my neighbour:-)  That is what owners should be like plus your dog isnt really left alone hardly at all.  This puppy is left for 8-9 hours or more a day and its been freezing here lately so maybe its cold:-(  Our golden is fantastic but..... when he was a puppy we trained him the same he hardly barked and now hes soooo quiet the guy next door asked if we still have him lol.

Id still try the council again after you have a week long log and recordings.

If that gets you no where i would then go the police and tell them that you got no help from the council and that your neighbour is disturbing your peace and quiet within your own home

Ohh and if you do talk to her again, perhaps you could tell her that there are so many great videos on you tube regarding how to stop a dog barking

[tiggywink92]

good idea:-)
