Ok so I will start by saying that if this had been an issue for months/ weeks I would understand.
We have a new puppy 10 weeks old. He is a lovely if somewhat boisterous border collie. He recently found his bark and has started using it. We are obviously trying to stop this but he is still little.Every morning my dh gets up at 6am, takes him outside and then stays with him till 7am. I get up at 7am with the kids. Sometimes at 7am he barks out of excitement when we all come downstairs. This doesn't last long. He also sometimes barks when we are bringing him his food. He is very young and obviously isn't perfect but we are trying.
Today my neighbour informed us that if we don't stop him barking she is going to make a noise complaint against us. We explained that he is young and we are training him etc and we can try and stop the barking in the morning. She replied that she hates hearing dogs and any barking will be noted and reported. This is insane right? She hasn't even given us a chance to rectify it, he has only been here 2 weeks tomorrow. He doesn't bark during the night, is crate trained and I'm home all day so I know that apart from the occasional barks he isn't barking all the day. She wants him to never bark which seems ridiculous to me.
