Is there any point?
My NDN has an awful dog. A Belgian maliniois. Every time I go in my garden it’s there throwing itself at the fence barking. Trying to scale it. Running up the fence going ballistic. I have 6ft fencing plus a hedge so maybe 8ft. It’s also closed board so it can’t see us but it’s got a 6th sense if I step a toe out.
Ive spoken to them multiple times. They are very ineffective but do try and bring it in but it’s still happening multiple times a day. Every time they apologise and try training etc but it’s still doing it.
If I go to my car, or dare walk on my drive it’s there barking at me at the windows. They say they can’t help it as its very territorial and they do try but the dog is unfortunately horrid. They walk it muzzled at night because of the aggression.
My DC are now scared to play outside as the noise has frightened them. We have a dog of our own who’s also scared and runs inside as soon as next doors starts. Summer is going to be miserable!
The dog also barks in the house throughout the day which I can hear in my own house. It’s not for long periods of time though so I don’t think that’s an issue in terms of noise if I did report it even if it does wake my DC up regularly 😡
So if I go down the route of reporting it how can I prove it? Can I anonymously report it as a dangerous dog? Basically I want them to realise they need to get rid of it because they can not give it what they need but they think this is fixable. It isn’t is it?
I don’t want to argue with them but at the same time it’s infuriating that someone’s terrible selfish choice is ruining my peace. The ND husband is a defensive arse and isn’t easy to talk to. I can’t move due to financial reasons.
