DH is gonna flip but did I do the right thing?

[Lovemyshoes]

I've made a formal complaint about the neighbours dog to the council.

I am FED up of it barking at 7 in the morning and up to 10 at night.

He is a lovely lovely dog and of a breed that needs ALOT of walking but gets exercised 4 times a month at most.

It has got so bad my dc won't even play in their own garden because of the noise and yesterday it was scaring them as he was biting through the fence and ripping shreds off to get to them, all for attention the poor thing.

The dog in question has a unique bark and when my neighbour came over to collect her son yesterday mentioned 'that bloody dog' barking all the time, so I know it's not just me.

Hope you get a resolution

A friend of mine had someone complain about her dog barking and they were forced to have it put down. This was many years ago though so hopefully things have changed.

ps

if it's the cruelty of the dog not being walked it might be better to contact the RSPCA rather than the council.

Sorry if I'm hi jacking slightly.

Chegirl, I used to work for them too. Where were you based? What did you do? Just being nosey. I was an ACO in the East region for 10 years.

Hello Mel I was a nurse at the Harmsworth in North London.

It was about twenty years ago (thats a bloody long time ago when you type it!).

Oh, I went there once for some training. A long time ago too. Sigh, getting old!
