All afternoon while he fucks off to work (I know!) all it does it cry and whimper and bark and generally just go berserk because it hates being on its own even for half an hour. I've spoken to him twice about it and he's been apologetic and is trying to calm it down and keep it entertained when he has to go to work. I think it started to settle, but then he was home for a week presumably on lock down. Now he's had to go back to work it's back to square one. Meanwhile I'm trying to work from home with that fucker in my ear all afternoon. It's prob around 3 months old. Will this go on forever?

died he have a wallet coming into take the dog out? It needs to get a routine and he needs to sort this out.

We had a downstairs neighbour once who complained if we coughed and we’re not loud in general. How I loved going to his door to complain about the dog he looked after barking for 5 hours straight with a phone recording ad back up. I finished up by saying ‘.,,,it’s not the first time, it’s not acceptable and next time I will call the Dog warden...’. Have a look at your local fob warden is there a section on barking etc?

Offer to look after puppy? Shame him into realising justbhow cruel he is being. Puppy will probably just sleep all.afternoon if it is in same room as you. A 12 week old puppy shouldnt be left for hours on end. Suggest he rehome it now.before it gets separation anxiety. Record it barking and whimpering. Cruel and selfish owner.

Your title is missing a crucial apostrophe Shock

I just read read that without the apostrophe omg. Lol.

I opened this thread op thinking oh god I hope my neighbours haven't wrote this because mine keeps barking at their dog and then all the other dogs in the street start barking. I have to take him out quite a lot because he's being house trained still.

BrooHaHa · 02/04/2020 19:28

Yeah, you need an apostrophe in that title, OP.

CormoranStrike · 02/04/2020 19:31

Hahaha I read it wrong too

NeverYouMind123 · 02/04/2020 19:39

I would offer but I've just had new carpets fitted and I don't want it pissing and shitting everywhere. Plus I don't really know him that well or really want to be burdened with what should be his responsibility, I'm not a massive fan of dogs... and with the distance thing at the moment I don't know if it's safe anyway to have a dog switching between houses?

Sorry about the apostrophe ha ha!

Why on earth should she offer to look after it? She didn’t choose to get a puppy then leave it home alone (although I would STEAL it!)

The school dog was barking for 10 minutes today, it was driving me nuts. I feel your pain, OP.

Poor puppy , it must be confusd and lonely . It has gone from Mum+littermates to a new home , company then nothing.

Unfortunately the puppy might not have full vaccines at that age with the current restrictions in Vet appointments. So even if he could get a walker , they couldn't take it out anyway.

Does he live alone ?
Can he come back at lunch time without breaking any lockdown rules ? (Possibly not )

What the Jeff made him decide to get a puppy in this time of Covid 19 (because its been in the news for weeks )

At the very least , if he doesn't step up, tell him to move the puppy to the room furthest away from your work room.

It is not your problem to solve . I don't have a dog or any wish to have one . But my NDN dog is barky . I can filter it out a bit but it does Angry me when it's 2am .

stupid bastard. Getting a puppy when he is out at work all day, the guy wants his head examined.

animal needs to be returned whence it came and neighbour needs his empty head slapped. Why should the OP take on an unwanted excretion machine?

CottonSock · 03/04/2020 13:14

This happened with my neighbours. Puppy turned into a massive breed that they couldn't control, so left outside even more.
Eventually there was a massive confrontation with other neighbour which involved police and the landlords. Dog vanished!

Sorry op not a very positive story, but I totally understand your annoyance. It made me anxious and angry hearing it howl and bark all day.

lifestooshort123 · 03/04/2020 13:19

He shouldn't have a dog if it's going to be left for so long.

albertcamus · 03/04/2020 14:18

Our idiot neighbours inflicted a whining, crying puppy on us while they were out of the house for up to 12 hours, it drove us insane. They said that they were 'using a phone app' to monitor it and didn't agree that it was a disturbance.

The local Council Dog Warden was excellent (obv normal conditions were prevailing at that time), visited them, wrote to them, they kept it indoors, end of problem. They don't speak to us now, which is absolutely fine, no loss.

You have my sympathy OP. These people should NOT be allowed to adopt a dog.

BrooHaHa · 03/04/2020 14:26

I do think there ought to be some kind of license required before you can purchase a pet.

ArthurDentsSpaceTowel · 03/04/2020 15:22

This makes me think of one of my abiding childhood memories. When I was about 9 or so, our NDNs acquired a cute little black puppy. Their two daughters doted on it at first, played with it all the time, and then the barking started. Morning, noon and night, non-stop, howling, yelping, yapping. It was not a happy creature. That was one of the noisiest summers ever. And then the dog disappeared. I gathered later on that it had bitten the dad. (Back then, unfortunately, it would have been PTS Sad - dog behaviourists weren't so much a thing in the 70s, and even in the 80s Barbara Woodhouse was as close as you got).

NeverYouMind123 · 03/04/2020 16:18

Well by some miracle the dog has been quiet all day not a peep, even though he pissed off out at 7am. I heard him moving around earlier (walls are like paper) but no barking. I'm wondering if it's still there as I can't be that lucky! It's so wrong people see an andrex advert for a puppy and think oh how cute. Having a dog isn't that far from having a toddler they are SO needy and such hard work. I don't want to be "that neighbour" who moans but I will be if I have to be. There's accepting a certain level of noise in a terraced house but that is just being a massive cunt bag. Puppies should be for people who are either retired or if there is one person at home. Not single adults who are working all day, you'd be too tired to walk it or bother with it by the time you're home so what's the fucking point anyway?!
