Neighbours have adopted a yappy dog

[User1221]

We never heard a thing from our neighbours (attached) but at the weekend they brought home a 5 month rescue puppy from Romania.

We previously moved from our last home because of a previous neighbours dog barking but that was because they left it for 10 hours a day to work and it howled due to separation anxiety. When they were home you would not know the dog was there.

But this dog is yapping on and off throughout the day and late evening, despite my neighbours being there 24/7. I am not sure what it is yapping at.

Will it get better with age/settling in? Or is this likely going to be how it will be now.

@User1221

its a puppy it will get better if they train it well.

its just been taken from a place of familiarity, and brought somewhere new, away from its kennel mates. It’s probably pretty distressed. Hopefully it will settle down, but I understand it’s probably triggering. I’ve lived next to noisy neighbours in the past and it’s an awful feeling when I now hear music/shouting/loud noise when I’m home. I automatically tense.
I hope the barking will get better for you.

I feel your pain.

Yapping dogs is an intolerable sound.

Unfortunately there is a lucrative trade in selling puppies to UK from Romania- it is basically a front for puppy farming disguised as ''Rescue''.

It's not as if the UK is short of puppies to adopt if someone wants one, without the health risk of importing zoonotic diseases from overseas.

Your Council might well be able to help with a yapping dog, as it could be considered noise pollution.

This explains why so many Romanian imports are barkers
