Neighbors barking dogs are driving me mad

If we ever get dog licences I suggest that before they get anywhere near an animal potential owners have to go through a training course where it is spelled out to them in words of one syllable how there animal is expected to behave and that if it doesnt bye bye doggy hello large fine

.

Shat everywhere, lunged at kids, barked all day long…

I’m not fussed what you think of my language. It was a disgusting animal and they were disgusting people.

@Thattimeofthenight you haven’t compassion in abundance for animals when you describe your neighbours unhappy dog as disgusting. As for the dog’s owners, you’re probably right.

Yes, agree. My neighbours are selfish entitled twats that leave their dogs howling and barking for hours. We’ve complained but they don’t give a shit.

🤷🏻‍♀️ I have animals. I always have had animals. I have compassion in abundance for animals. It’s not the dug’s fault, but I don’t care. Wasn’t their children’s fault the way they were dragged up either but society had to deal with the result of that. Unfortunately there was no CD available to train their shitty behaviour out of them.

Too many people own dogs who simply shouldn’t.

It’s the language that poster uses to describe an animal that I find quite disgusting and almost disturbing with the lack of empathy towards an innocent animal.

Lots of things are annoying and antisocial- loud music, bonfires, kids screaming, couples arguing, cars speeding, but saying things like:

unfortunate creature

every time my disgusting neighbours’ disgusting mutt started its barking

Trained the damn thing to shut up

I think is taking it a step too far and not necessary.

Keep a log of whats happening then off to The Council

To be fair I love dogs, I have three of my own.

but being tormented in your own home is something else. It’s irrational how you loose all thought for anything but that. People who let their dogs bark and disturb others should have them removed from them.

My neighbours were the unpleasant people. The dog was an unfortunate creature but I can’t help that situation when I have utter psychos for neighbours. For my sanity I trained their dog not to bark, because they couldn’t.

You can take your opinions on it and stick them elsewhere because you clearly have no idea what it’s like to be tortured daily with the never ending sound of a dog barking.

Your opinion on it is nothing.

And what a pleasant human being you sound…..prime example of why I prefer most animals to most people 🤣

No

I don’t give a shit. I refuse to have my human life wrecked by an animal loudly barking non stop. It’s the stuff of nightmares to live with. Couldn’t give a flying fuck what you think about that 👍🏻

My neighbour got a small dog that barks ALL THE TIME. He clearly got annoyed with it as he started locking him out in his back garden, which is right under my baby's bedroom window, and just let him bark and bark.

Let me tell you, the rage I felt when my newborn baby kept getting woken up by a fucking yapping dog is like something I have never felt before in my life.

I went over there, in my pyjamas, no bra, soaked in breastmilk (baby was like 5-6 weeks old) and shouted at the neighbour like a fucking mad woman.

Problem solved.

The dog still barks 24/7 but he keeps it inside so it's only loud enough to ocasionally bother me but not loud enough to wake my baby.

Poor dog though. Can't imagine he's a happy puppy. It's been a year and it's still barking. Can't imagine he brings much joy to the owner either.

every time my disgusting neighbours’ disgusting mutt started its barking

Wow, I see the dog haters are out in full force on this thread. 🙄

Neither should someone else’s children be disturbing neighbours on a regular basis.

sometimes with children there isn’t anything the parents can do

Apart from teaching them not to screech and shout whilst in the garden or moving them
inside you mean? Oh the irony.

So no garden near neighbours?

Poor, sad dogs.

The barky dogs around me are all owned by elderly people and I have never seen either of them go for a walk. They are properly bored, which is probably why they bark. My cat doesn't help, she taunts them from the roof. I have to keep my bedroom window shut so she can't get up there.
I think it's wicked to have a dog and keep it in a small back yard.

I would be so tempted to ask them "Oh you work for a Dog Charity , is it specifically re-homing traumatised dogs . Does this mean you;re fostering these two (noisy little gits) and they;ll move on any time soon"

They might have recognised themselves

You can get those silent dog whistles but I think they're only effective if the dog is trained to respond by not barking.

Dogs could be trained to do something (like dogs who herd , or agility) with a whistle signal.
Local noisy dog would think Parrrr-tayyy if a whistle blew !

She shouldn’t have to tell them as the owners should be the ones telling them to be quiet. I wouldn’t want to listen to it all day either.

Sometimes this one doesn’t bark for a day but I still can’t relax…I sit waiting for it to bark or dread seeing them pull off the drive incase it starts up again. I’m sure barking dogs can be used as a form of torture!

Really hope it gets better for you
