Wanted to get people's opinions on if AIBU?
New neighbours next door, both of us have a bungalow.
They were there around 3 months and bought a small dog which they are entitled to do. After another 3 months they bought another dog as she told me they are keen to breed them.
Up to them.
My AIBU is that one of the dogs in particular barks most of the day and evening. It's only a small dog so has a little yappy bark.
I have a dog too who is 12 and I let mine out for a wee in the morning then as soon as he barks I let him back in the house. On hot days I leave the back door open so he comes and goes as he pleases.
Their dog seems to bark and bark to come in but they don't let it in. The other day I saw them going out in the car and they left the dogs in the back garden whilst they were out so the dogs were barking from lunchtime until 8pm constantly. In the end I had to close my back door as the constant noise was really grating on me.
They have a child and her bedroom is at the front of the house, my small daughters bedroom is at the back of my house (closer to the garden) as it's a bigger room and I have 2 girls in there sharing. Last night I tried to put my daughter to bed but the dog was barking constantly from 8-10pm at night.
I didn't know what to do. The dog isn't barking after 11pm which is when the curfew is but I still think it's a bit much to be barking from 8-10pm. She couldn't sleep with that.
Would you knock and say something? They have lived next door around 8 months.
For context my dog only barks if someone knocks at the front door, not barking all day long.
