Barking bloody dogs

Really fed with barking bloody dogs in our neighbourhood. A few houses along a woman has a dog boarding place and many of the other neighbours seem to independently have dogs. When one sets off, it turns into an absolute cacophony of barking and often outright howling. Putting out the washing just now and next door seems to have a dog that they’re looking after which is non-stop barking at me. They don’t normally have one, so can only presume they’re dog sitting for family on holiday. Everyone seems to go out and leave their dogs in the garden to bark, and apart from our good next door neighbour, I never hear anyone telling their dogs to shut up or bringing them in.
I don’t have a dog, why should the summer months be ruined by others people’s lack of consideration/responsibility dog owning?

Dog barking could be used as a torture method. I don't know how anyone can stand it.

I think a lot of owners can't stand the barking either. Owners up the road from us put the dogs in the back garden while they sit indoors in the front of the house. Or shut the dogs in the front room to bark at the window while they sit in the back garden.

They're rescue dogs and I wonder if they've actually been rescued as they are so anxious and bark constantly.
