Just that really, ive 2 dogs and recently the neighbours have put a wooden bench near my fence which is making my frenchie bark.( i do bring him in) but today DH has opened the door and neighbour is hanging over my fence feeding my dogs.my frenchie has lots of allergies and is strictly raw fed. Our other dog is 11years old and on senior food.
We dont actually get on with these neighbours and haven't for the 8 years being here!
YANBU - Should I report this ?

YABU - Or am I over reacting?

"report them" 😂
Train your dogs not to bark!!!

OMG. What did the police say?

My neighbour shouted at me as he saw his cat jump through my window. I was gobsmacked and didn't know what to say. Keep your effing cat under control comes to mind.

Two sides to every disagreement.

You have already said your dog barks. The fact they have a bench near your fence means nothing. Its in their garden. You need to control your dog better.
Also, the fact you said your DH has opened the door and caught them feeding your dogs........well if you made the effort to be out with your dogs when they were out, this wouldnt have a chance of happening.

Finally, the neighbour, as others have said may be making an attempt to settle your dog for you by giving treats when they are there so it stops barking. Seems a reasonable assumption.

Only person who should be reporting is the neighbour about lack of control on your dog barking.

I say this as a dog lover and owner of two dogs who are allowed out in the garden supervised and only ever allowed to bark in the garden if playing with a family member or they are told to get in the house immediately

If they dont like you or the barking, I'd be more concerned with what they are feeding them

Maybe they are trying to make friends to stop it barking at them so they can enjoy their garden.

YANBU - Should I report this

Who do you think would be remotely interested??

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 01/07/2025 21:51

Feeding them or giving treats? Feeding them is weird so just tell them about the strict diet. If treats then you can still tell them but it’s less weird.

out of interest who might you report it to?

Just tell her the dogs can’t eat certain things because it will make them sick. She likes dogs enough to feed them, she should hopefully get it.

Report to who? Just tell them to stop and explain why.
