Our neighbours, in end of terraced house, have two large dogs in what are modest sized houses with fairly small gardens. Since they've lived here we have been disturbed at all hours of the day and night with the dogs barking. The dogs don't get walked properly for dogs of their size, apart from a lap of the block twice a day, but rather are left out in the garden.
This morning was the limit for me - 6.02am they were outside barking and barking, waking both DCs and us. Last night they were left in the garden until close to 11pm, again barking. This is what happens most nights. Every time we go into our garden they bark at us. When anyone knocks at our door they bark and rush to their front door. At weekends they are left in the house when the neighbours go out and after an hour or so they start howling and barking as I think the older one (now about 8) is desperate for a wee.
I have spoken to our neighbours, I have written a note to them but, despite being well-educated people, they just don't seem to understand the impact it is having on us. After this morning, I am beyond fed up. Apart from the disturbance to us, I think it is cruel, particularly when the dogs are howling inside, but I don't know what else I can do.
Can anyone advise please?
