I always like to turn to mumsnetters for some practical advice! So, we moved into our new house during the pandemic, so pretty quiet evenings all round, but for the last few months, the neighbours dog (we live in a semi detached) barks about 3-4 nights, sometimes more, a week from about 7pm to about 10.30-11pm, sometimes later. They’ve had some loud parties which is totally ok. They’ve always been polite and let us know in advance. BUT we are a young family and my son has just started school and goes to bed at 7.30pm and us about 9pm. I’m worried I’m being unreasonable because it’s not that late but it’s a continuous barking and howling and there’s no way we can sleep through it. It goes on for the whole evening with no respite. I’m feeling nervous to speak to them as we aren’t the most quiet of neighbours as we have two young children and there’s tantrums and mornings in the garden etc, but it’s started to really effect us and we just sit up listening to the barking. I’ve grown up with dogs BTW, we are dog lovers but AIBU to think they need a minder or something when they’re out so many evenings? Thank you!
