To think that dogs shouldn't be barking from 6.45?

Slightly over emotional neighbours next door appear to have got a dog to add to their nine cats. It has been barking since I came downstairs this morning. I think they've gone out as I haven't heard any crying this morning. The man is very emotional. AIBU to want it to shut the fuck up?

God no, post it some sleeping pills sausages through the letterbox to shut it up.

YANBU but it's possible that the owners don't know that he barks in their absence and will be horrified to learn of it. Have a polite word, perhaps suggest some measures to avoid seperation anxiety, which is frequently the cause of such barking. These measures include removing outside stimuli by placing the dog where he can't hear/see passers-by and associated noise, playing a radio to drown out noise and make him believe that he isn't alone and soforth.

If you like dogs you could always offer to have him over as a guest occasinally when the owners have to leave him. Wink

It wouldn't bother me per se, dogs are my life, but I would be concerned that he was unhappy and can see that others would be less than impressed with the barking.

I would be scared to knock at their door TBH. It is like bedlam there most of the time. Even Yum Yum Franky the policeman warned me about them.
I think it's probably the cats that are driving it to dementia. The dog is in the garden and the cats seem to be tormenting it by sashaying along the top of the wall.
I've just been out to have a fag and the dog seems to have started every dog in the neighourhood off. I hadn't realised there were so many. Even next door the other way's Bulldog is having a wheezy woof.

So what tie are dog's allowed to bark from? maybe you should just let him know.Wink

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/10/2010 10:08

Thesun, the dog is allowed to bark for 24 seconds at two hour intervals starting around 7am and ending at 7pm. Seems fair to me.
The woman next door has come home now, I heard her bike fall over and the dog has stopped.

My cat woke me up at 4am :@. On my day off.
OMG at 9 cats. The dog was probably barking for help!

The woman next door is always pissed (we have special see through bags for rubbish, hers is always full of beer cans and the cardboard is always full of wine carton). the man is often crying, generally after woman has thrown something at him. Beer glasses are her weapon of choice.
The nine cats are shite machines used to using our garden as a toilet and it's pandemonium there.
And the dog is barking again. Maybe it's time to call Yum Yum Franky.
