to look over my fence into my NDN's garden?

[Chrishassix]

My NDN thinks he has a right to privacy and i shouldnt be looking over.

OP now we have the full story I don?t think you ABU to have had a look over your fence to see why the dog was barking. But I can see why your neighbour wouldn?t like it. Personally, now you have alerted your neighbours to the fact their dog barks I don?t see the need to find the cause, unless you are going to actually knock on their door and ask them. If you do that then it serves 2 purposes; first you find out if they are home, and if not you then know the dog barks when alone, and secondly you might get to remind the neighbours they are causing a nuisance. Have you spoken to the council about this and, if so, what did they advise?

Neighbours had loud small petrol motors going for 2 days, I cracked after 6 hrs & looked over fence to see WTF it was (they are chainsawing a tree to bits). Noise was driving me batty but I can see why it was unavoidable.

yanbu, imho.

Er, just report it. It doesn't matter why it is barking if the noise is that intrusive. Just report it and let the authorities deal with it.

I shouldn't think so.

One of my neighbours reported her NDN (not us!) to the police because he kept shooting at her legs with a pellet gun while she was hanging out her washing.

The police told her he was entitled to do what he liked in his own garden, but to contact them again if he actually hit her with them

Im still laughing at 'so i can establish a pattern'

Hahhah.

OP, stop it. Really. What a nuisance neighbour.

YABU and wierd. If the dog's barking is a nuisance, call the Council's EH unit. It's none of your business why it's barking.

You have my sympathy op. We used to have neighbours with an annoying, barking noisy little shit bag of a dog. I also suffer from migraines. Perhaps a shot gun would do the trick? Or report them for noise nuisance but the shot gun would be more effective

Kladdkaka, I brought a chair out, not the op. But I think I was justified, as they had found a body there, and the place was swarming with police.

A body? I'd have bought out a chair for that

Is his name Hector? Do you climb up a ladder?

Again, OP's second post was 'I do stand on a chair, yes.'

Again HTH.

I think I might have brought a chair out in those circumstances Quint.

You are under no obligation to identify why the dog is barking, so don't worry about that.

You need only report that it is barking for X number of hours, on the following dates...

Keep a detailed log of it. Record it. Get people out to it.

why it is barking is not your problem.

Sharon wouldn't bother, she'd just drown the barking out with Erasure.
And the DH would either do a position like the dog or throw wine at it.

Sharon would have inveigled MrNDN out of his garden, using her womanly wiles, and left a few dead wasps for the dog to bark at.

It's time we had another Sharon thread. I luffs them.

OP, next time you visit your local Tesco look out for an Adam in the fruit and veg section.

Did that really happen, and did the police really say that? If so they were wrong. Do let me know.

YANBU I understood that it was neighbourly to check (and postpone) if anyone had their washing out drying before you lit a bonfire...

So we occasionally get the ladders out and peer over the walls of our walled city garden. Feels weird but... there are occasions when you are meant to!
