Next door's dog....

[craft1948]

...... is doing my head in.
Everytime they go out it barks, howls and whines and is doing my head in.
What can I do?
Currently it has been barking for 4 hours.

Craft. By tomorrow afternoon I want you to come on here and tell me you have phoned the council. You`ve spoken to the neighbours and things haven`t changed. Don`t put up with it.x

[craft1948]

I'm going to go and have a word with them tomorrow, give them a week, and then get in touch with the council.

I try and not be out for more than half an hour, but since getting no2 it makes no1 quiter as they can keep each other occupied in there big play pen

You have my sympathy but at the minute we have cranes diggers many engines starting at 8 and finishing at 9 pm

[gness]

Okay. Good luck. Hope they listen.x

Shout the dog to SHUT UP. Hearing a voice calms them down. Or, turn up the tv

I thought I was being a bit paranoid but they went out for a couple of hours at lunchtime and my cleaner was here.........she was amazed at the noise it was making.

Last year I bought this:

When I used it the cats just sat and looked at me, either it didn't work on them or they were deaf.
I did discover though it worked wonders on next doors dog, within minutes it quietened down. Not saying this will work on your problem but it certainly sorted out mine. does anybody know how to get rid of cats ?

The dog sounds like a bitch.

[skybluefred]

Double barrel shot gun should do the trick,LOL

[Jeza]

We have that problem too. You wouldn't believe how much noise two yorkies can make. It drives us mad. We can't have an open window because of this. Waste of time talking to the owner, He is always in the pub.

Suggest to your neighbours that they leave the radio on, not too loudly obviously, when they go out. They dog may then think it isn't alone in the house and won't bark.

[Barmaid]

i'll lend you my cat. I've had two complaints this week about him attacking dogs.........

[cazzz1975]

turn up the tv

I got new neighbours a while back and their dog was the same - it was not barking at me it was more just hearing it howling when they went out. I did not know how to approach them as didn't know what they were like or get off on the wrong footing. I ended up putting a note through their door and rather than point out how much it was annoying me I went on about how clearly the dog was in a lot of distress and as an animal lover I struggled with this. Not sure what they did about it but things settled down - one of the other neighbours believes they started leaving a radio on. Not sure what I would have done next if hadn't stopped, maybe spoken with council. Good Luck.

Why does everybody want to hurt the poor dog, it's the irresponsible owners who are to blame. The dog is bored and lonely. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have dogs ......

Prudie, glad you felt better, nice to know terrifying a lonely, unhappy dog gives you a lift !!!!!

Neighbours dog has been yapping since 6.20.
I am a dog owner myself but would happily put theirs in a microwave right now.
