Neighbours have dog, they leave it in the garden most of the time. It barks at people walking past, it barks at planes flying overhead, it barks at nothing, on and on and on. I wish it would die. AIBU?

We have a recue JRT the yapping drives me nuts and I don't think she's too bad compared to some of these!!!

The doorbell, doorbell on the TV, people cycling past the house (we live at the end of a quiet cul de sac so pretty rare), oh and the worst when she wants you to throw her ball.

Thankfully not a peep when she is in her crate...

YANBU no way could I subject my neighbours to letting her outside to inflict that yap on them.

I have a Fucking barking fucking Jack Fucking Russell. I love him.
He is very territorial though.
The dog versus a naked man trying to get into my bed was like a British sitcom from the '70's.

That sound drive me mad. My JRT doesn't yap, he has a really deep big boys bark! (Fake JRT?) But if he does bark in the garden then he has to come back inside. I can't stand more than 2 barks. The good thing is the neighbours don't think it's him barking as they expect him to be more yappy!

Thanks everyone, I'm surprised to have so much support and sympathy especially on AIBU !! and I accept that it's mean to want the little blighter to die! You've all cheered me up by (mostly) agreeing this level of barking is not acceptable, and well done to those dog owners who understand (and who don't inflict this on neighbours).
You've given me courage to start taking this to the next step.

thelikelylass thank you for making me laugh, I hope the naked man didn't get his balls bitten like someone upthread.

I've got a cocker spaniel and he never barks...and I would never leave him outside in a million years if he did. My mum has got 2 yippy yorkshire terriers and I've wanted to kill them both after I've looked after them. I did try the sound aversion technique that Victoria Stillwell uses....filled a plastic bottle with rice and dried chickpeas, and shook it at them every time they barked. It did work to a degree but after a few days I was losing the will to live to be honest. Next time I will try an airhorn Grin

YANBU at all. There's some sort of yappy thing at the bottom of our garden and it wakes Dtwins up at least once every single fucking night. Without fail. Fuck off. Stupid little cunt.

You know worst of all they aren't guard dogs, only alert ones that are a bit stupid.

"someone is at the door, someone is at the door, they have come in, they have come in, they are sitting on the sofa, they are sitting on the sofa" no attempt to stop person coming in or growl at them or anything let them come in and everything!!!

AngeloMysterioso · 25/05/2017 22:38

Jack Russells do not bark.

They yap.

Fucking yappy little bastards.

NicoleC1990 · 26/05/2017 14:13

I sympathise, one of my neighbours has three Lhasas that never get walked and so spend their lives barking out the window, and my other neighbour has a yappy JRT. The JRT is actually a lovely little dog but he's far too intelligent for his owners. He spends his life in the garden alone trying to entertain himself (he also likes to dig under our fence and often appears uninvited). I almost fell out with my neighbour because they asked us not to leave footballs in our garden because it stresses the dog out and he barks at it (!), this dog would bark at its own fart ffs.

I have two spaniels and they are not allowed to bark in the garden, if they do they are brought inside (or I get the water pistol out, I don't actually spray water at them but just the sight of it shuts them up). JRTs get a bad rep but truth is they are an intelligent, high-energy working breed that need mental and physical stimulation or they will turn to nuisance behaviours like barking to entertain themselves.

Alas my JRT missed out on the intelligence gene Sad we're still trying to teach sit 2 years on...
