To go and kidnap the neighbours dog and drop it off in a faraway location

[Catterpillarsflipflops]

It's Easter Sunday. Nice weather. We are all outside playing and all I can hear is yap yap yap yap. We are in a quiet village, there is no other sound apart from birds. How can they not realise that the flipping yapping is annoying to all around. I'm in the kitchen and I can still hear it & their house isn't even visible from ours.

This is one reason why I have big non barking dogs . Although I liked the idea of a smaller more physically easier dog I was warned that so many smaller breeds are known for their yappy barking . Neighbours 3 doors down have two small Yorkshire terriers that just don't stop when they ate outside. Luckily they are considerate people and it doesn't happen often.

If you know where they live you can report them to the council. The Environmental part covers noise including dogs barking, and they can take enforcement action including court.

It's lovely and quiet in my garden now.

Go knock on the door with a few neighbours!0@

If mine decide to bark when in the garden they either stop when told or get told they have to go in.
why do people leave them out to bark I don’t get it

Can you reach it with a hose? I soaked ndn dachshund and they got the message...

The barking dogs on our street are all labs, the smaller dogs (including our schnauzer) are the quiet ones. Our schnauzer ignores the labs either side of us when they start barking to each other.

I know someone who did this years ago. Before the years of microchips thankfully. The owners would go out all day leaving the dog outside where it made everyone's life a misery constantly howling and barking. Their dc had SN and was self harming through pure frustration.......one day it got when they were at work. So he shoved it in the boot of his car and drove it to a rescue centre miles away where he handed it in as a stray.......did the dog a massive favour tbh.

I love dogs, well actually all animals and have had several pets over the years but.....

If my neighbours ugly, mangy looking, yappy mongrel* was struck by lightning I swear the whole neighbourhood would have a street party to celebrate.

(*Mongrel - some stupid doodle thing, neighbour proudly told me he was a cock a doodle or some other stupid made up name that came with a hefty price tag, idiot neighbour was most put out when I said 'Oh, so he's a mongrel, how unusual ' 😂)

If there was no dog there would be no yapping. So of course it’s the dog. Yes, shit owners, but they wouldn’t be owners without the dog.

I prefer the idea of anonymously kidnapping it.

The neighbours are otherwise fine. Just somewhat oblivious to noise. Yappy dog yaps day in, day out all day every day in nice weather. They haven't been out in tge garden for a while so I'd forgotten how much I wanted to do away with it.

Their visiting grandkids also scream blue murder on the occasions they come (but i think child kidnap is just a step too far & they arent around today). Anyway neighbours are either deaf or do not realise the impact they have on other people (or don't care)

I've no desire to cause upset so I will just anonymously entertain my fantasies of doing away with the dog instead.

Talk to your neighbours!! Tell them the dog is driving you mad and ask them to keep it quiet.

We have an unbelievably annoying sausage living next door but one, drives me INSANE. Have spoken to the owners so many times who are very apologetic and manage to keep it inside for a day or two before going back to normal and leaving the sodding thing to bark continuously in the garden for hours on end. I hate it with a passion. My dogs do not bark in the garden, it’s so unnecessary and selfish.

Came to the thread because I thought it was about that post! Yes he claimed to have done this and got so much abuse he flounced

Drives me nuts too so I put two fingers in my mouth and whistle very loudly after each bark and funnily enough it stops

Some breeds are yappy though? Our neighbour’s dog is a pampered pooch but barks so much, have been in with them and the dog and can’t believe they don’t lose it- I couldn’t hack it!

once my lovely neighbour went on holidays leaving her yapper with her husband, who just ignored him and left him outside. For days on end.
i was a sleep deprived new mum and I remember going over there, thumping on the door and when he answered I said in an evil, quivering voice… MAKE. IT. STOP.
the shock on his face was hilarious. I quite enjoy those moments of total rage.

we have a sausage dog next door now. He has anxiety. Bless. Good thing I’m on hrt

We have a sausage dog next to us, and while I’m an animal lover, I would quite happily murder the stupid dog. I have never felt this level of rage before experiencing continuous barking for hours on end. The dog howls for hours and hours, sometimes as early as 6am and as late as 2am.
I approve of your plan. Ignorant neighbours are the pits.

My neighbours have a sausage dog and it is a form of torture, if a leaf so much as drops off a free it will bark continuously, and the owners are bored now of telling it to shut up, and just allow the bloody thing to bark.
I have complained and got nowhere so now l have just bought an anti barking device off Amazon and setting it up, fingers crossed, because l don't want another summer ruined when trying to relax and enjoy my garden.
Their dog also tries to attack and bark at every other dog when they take it out and because dog is so small they just think it's hilarious. Owners are thickest of thick, never had a dog before and haven't got a clue.

I have read that those devices don’t really work well through fences, and work as intended when you reinforce with dog training to prevent barking. It’s not a one and done solution. Better to save your money to take them to court for noise disturbance! That’s what we’re doing…

I am an animal lover and even I harbour dark thoughts against NDN dog.m
Not to the extent of kidnapping it you understand but wishing they had thought to train it when young not to bark
Yes I know dogs bark and it is useful but a 'hello there's someone at the door' bark and done . Not a continual yap yap yap .

I bought a whistle. Shrill. It stops it for a nano second <sigh>

Sounds of suburbia....😁
There were 3 of them barking outside mine this afternoon. God knows what they were all 'shouting' about but it was quite the arguement!

Mine isn't allowed in the garden coz he will bark if so much as a gnat farts out there. And yes.....he is half sausage (the noisy half!😅).

Print off leaflets for dog trainers that specialise in barking reduction therapy and "how to train your dog"
Not electric shock collars or Cesare Milan or vocal cord cutting though .......

There was a film years back ( The Colony) where the family move into a gated community with many rules. Their dog barks, goes missing and returns " de-barked" . But that's just a film ...

@baninarama

Why do you find this funny?

I knew it would be a bloody dachshund. We have one near us and it drives its immediate neighbours mad. The NDN is in the process of putting her house on the market. The culprit got loose last week, we hoped it wouldn’t be found but sadly was 🙈

We did similar.

Dog left in the garden 24/7, constantly yelping and crying in a really distressed sounding way as it was just neglected other than a few minutes a day where the children would feed it or half-heartedly play with it. Dog kept escaping the garden and roaming the street. One day it escaped while the owners were out so the whole street worked together to catch it and one of the neighbours took it to the local cat and dog shelter as a "stray found wandering". When the owners came home we collectively denied having seen the dog.
