Hi, I have been living in my disabled flat for 6 years with my 2 dogs. I have had people live above me in the past who have had no issue with my dogs, and said they have never heard them bark and they are no issue. When I first moved in there was a couple with a new born baby and I never heard the baby cry once, and I asked them and they never heard my dogs.
Skip to this month, a man has moved above me and been both mentally and physically disabled i only leave the flat 5 hours on a Wednesday, my home has 2 way cctv in every room for piece of mind for my family. Last week I was coming home with my shopping and I will admit when they hear the car pull in they will start barking until I open the door, at most this is no more then a couple of minutes. The man above me came down the stairs and says that my dogs are doing his fking head in!!! He then stepped to my face and said that he wasn't going to report me to the council but he wants me to know that me and him now have problems!!! I had a full anxiety attack in front of him and said my dogs don't bark I can prove it I can show him, and then he continued to say they bark all day and he can't sleep in the day because he doesn't sleep at night very well, so they are keeping him awake during the day. (He doesn't work)
Long story short I am petrified I am going to lose my dogs, they are all I have and to he honest I really don't think I would have made it through my dark times without them. Any advice??? The council allow one dog but I have two (yes I know my own fault) but in all the 6 years I have been here I have never had a complaint about anything. I haven't left my home since because I don't want to upset him, as this is making me very ill.
