Nextdoor have bought a fucking beagle

[wowsaid]

That barks a lot. Still a puppy so should I be worried it's going to get worse, or could it actually get better?

I know beagles are known for being noisy which makes me question their breed choice considering we live in Edwardian maisonettes in SW London, ie, close together!

The irony is, they used to complain bitterly about their upstairs neighbour before the left.

What about when they both go back to work!!

Aibu to get this to stop ASAP?

How will you get it to stop?

I have no idea.

Maybe they need to have the dog in their room over night since it is apparently silent when with one of them.

They are an end house so we are the only adjoining wall, maybe they could move the crate. Or something

I know for sure I haven't got my son to sleep into 7:30 to be woken at 5:30 everyday by a barking dog.

Fuck that completely

How would you stop a puppy from barking?

Ask them to give the puppy the attention it's asking for

My DCs wanted a beagle the vet said it needs a 50 mile run a day. In a flat with working owners is not good.

Have you spoken to them?

@EdwinaMay 50 mile run?

They apologise, but then everyday is the same.

Beagles aren't flat dogs, I can't understand their choice.

The puppy has its own Instagram so perhaps it was for the cuteness factor.

I would want them to do something about it. Does the lease allow dogs?

You would think they would to stop it barking at 5.30am for their own sanity.

I'm sure it will quieten when it stops fucking op. Are you sure they have just bought one - difficult to fuck on its own I'd have thought. Poor beagle.

I'm not sure about their lease (we own so I have never read it). I'm sure they would have asked though because they're generally good people.

I don't understand why they don't stop the barking for their own sake. Maybe they're heavy sleepers

I have a beagle.

Yes, they're noisy but they can be trained to be quiet - it just takes a lot of persistence.

@edwinamay your vet was talking bollocks.

Op, you should read your Lease. It tells you what you can and can’t do. There is a strong chance dogs are not allowed.

A lot of people who dote on their dogs seem immune to the noise they make. Our new neighbour let’s her dog out at 6am every morning and it barks to be let in.. only for a few seconds but enough to wake us up..
Very frustrating! I feel your pain

Beagles definitely need to be out and able to run every day (not 50 miles though!). We had a beagle many years ago when I was a teen, they're bred for hunting so they do need lots of exercise. Life cooped up in a flat seems cruel.

Oh and mine will bark at scents in the garden - I mean, it's what they've been bred to do. Run off independent after scents and then bay when they've found it so their masters know where they are and where to look.

A beagle bay is loud because it's designed to travel long distances across all kinds of terrain. They need to go out with the pup on a lead in the garden so they can bring him inside immediately if he barks.

Beagles are great dogs, but really really unsuitable for apartments and for staying at home alone. I love hunting dogs, grew up with them, but they are hard work (very rewarding though if done right)
It will be in a shelter (with many other beagles) in no time...

Beagles can have different temperaments. Mine is very much a lap dog and really isn't noisy. She only barks if one particular dog walks past the house and at the postman.
The puppy will get better with age. It will be waking up early because it needs the toilet. Puppies are a lot like babies. Give them some time to sort it out before complaining.

Beagles definitely need to be out and able to run every day (not 50 miles though!).

Mine doesn't run daily and he hasn't imploded yet

He gets off lead 2/3 times a week for a run but otherwise he gets and hour a day on lead and he spends the rest of his day asleep on the sofa!

Running a dog for hours will just give you a super fit dog - it won't actually work to tire them out once they're used to it. For beagles, training and scent games are far far more effective than a long run every day.

50 miles

Same here, not a beagle but another kind of dog that barks incessantly. I'd rather they got a kitten that crapped on my garden daily than listen to that incessant barking. It's driving me and my cat potty.

Some people can sleep through anything! I can't even sleep through a butterfly flapping its wings 12,000 miles away.

Do you have their phone number? If not, get it!

Go and talk to them again, tell them
It's waking you every morning and as cute as it is, you can't cope with that- ask them if it's waking them or if they're sleeping through.

Tell them they need to cuddle it & not let it cry or run around (the bigger it get the more annoying this will become)

Hopefully one of them can take it to work with them or they have daycare sorted.

They are probably sleep training it. Sleep training puppies is a bit like sleep training babies, people have different views in how it should be done. Some leave them to bark it out and some cosleep.

Having said that, a dog in a flat whose owners work away from home is a terrible idea.

Surely that's a typo? 50 miles is nearly two marathons!
