I'm lucky to get the Christmas period off work for a week or so. I've had issues with next doors dog barking non stop when she's out. I've been round four or five times, including a polite note. Then they got a puppy and that also barked and howled and cried. After a few months of me hoping that it might get trained, nothing improved and I went to the council. It was heavenly for around three months. More recently the dogs were left 5 hours one day a few weekends back. I put a note through the door again, polite but saying that I'd have no choice to go to the council again if it continues. Since then the dogs have been left for less time, most recently being about an hour this past weekend. I understand that she'll have errands to run without the dogs. I'm on edge though that my week off is going to be hellish. That she's going to leave the dogs home alone while she goes wherever for Christmas. I can't hear the tv properly for them barking. Anyone else also fretting?
