Yes.

Siennabear · 03/11/2020 21:18

Yes. As would any noise like a booming base on a sound bar or regular loud music.

My old neighbours dog barked all day when they were at work. It was awful. Worst part was it set my dogs off. It was constant.

Don't do it.

MoonSauce · 03/11/2020 21:19

Yep.

ConfusedDotty · 03/11/2020 21:19

Yes. Definitely even if it my dream house, a barking dog would ruin everything.

Siennabear · 03/11/2020 21:19

Bass that should be

HardAsSnails · 03/11/2020 21:19

Yes

HelenUrth · 03/11/2020 21:19

Not just that house, but any other house within earshot.

WeakandWobbly · 03/11/2020 21:20

Yes. Hate barking dogs, drives me mad!

purplemunkey · 03/11/2020 21:21

Yes. Lived next door to a happy dog for 5 years. Always on our checklist when moving now. Completely dismissed a flat due to barking dogs when we viewed it.

Readandwalk · 03/11/2020 21:22

Yes

userxx · 03/11/2020 21:22

So yes, even as a barking dog owner, it would put me off. My own dog is driving me crazy, never mind others!

This. My boy is deaf as a door post so when he barks it's quite loud 🙈. The neighbours are noisy as hell, screaming and shouting so I don't feel too bad.

Got 2 yappy dogs in the street behind us - granted we only hear them in summer but is so annoying.

BearSoFair · 03/11/2020 21:23

Yes. Especially yappy dogs!

LolalovesLondon · 03/11/2020 21:23

Yes

2bazookas · 03/11/2020 21:23

Yes (and I love dogs)
Barking it self us uber annoying, but a dog barking for hours also suggests the dog owner is likely to be a lousy neighbour in other ways.

RubyViolet · 03/11/2020 21:25

Yes.

ExclamationPerfume · 03/11/2020 21:25

100% yes.

GervaseFen · 03/11/2020 21:25

So much yes

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 03/11/2020 21:26

Hell yes!

LolalovesLondon · 03/11/2020 21:26

Yes

ExclamationPerfume · 03/11/2020 21:26

100% yes.

TaVeryMuchLove · 03/11/2020 21:26

Yep.

boarboar · 03/11/2020 21:26

Yes. If they're inconsiderate about their dog theyll be inconsiderate about a lot of other things too.

OrigamiOwl · 03/11/2020 21:26

Yes, it would put me off.
