Our neighbours have decided to keep their dogs outside 24/7. The dogs are barking literally any time during that period, be that 2am or 6am etc
They are small dogs, look like a sort of cross breed about the size of a jack russell and another miniature dachshund. I get the impression the dogs arent used to it as they bark at the slightest sound. Hence during the day they bark at least once every 30 minutes, probably more like every 10 minutes.
They have been outside during the fireworks for the last 3 nights, every single firework... bark bark howl bark howl etc etc
I dont really want a doorfront confrontation and they clearly dont care as every dog owner I have ever known (and I had dogs myself) would not leave them obviously distressed outside.
So does anyone have any advice other than a doorstep confrontation. I dont get why people would want to keep dogs and have them outside all day and night.
What are the options, RSPCA or council for noise abuse or anything else?
