Neighbour making a racket.

[Quinnaay]

Ok so basically, a new fella has moved in with the next door neighbour and brought along his 2 dogs (both retired, the couple not the dogs). Now she clearly doesnt allow these dogs in the house and he built a large dog shed for them to live in pretty cruel IMO but nevertheless so to the point, on a night they sometimes growl and scratch no biggie i can get over that BUT every morning between 6:30am and 7:30am the man goes out, cleans the dog poo by hosing it down, brushing the back yard, and then he feeds them outside with a scooper in a large bag of biscuits and puts the biscuits in metal bowls. Every morning he wakes me up doing this routine. Is doing this at that time acceptable or not? last week i hung me head out of the window and told him, he said sorry but still continues to do it. Whats next council complaint? and what would they do, is the problem a big enough deal for action to be made?

TL;DR new guy moves in next door with dogs, every morning cleans poo up and feeding the dogs outside making vast amounts of noise around 6:30am - 7:30am

haha at some of the comments here only just seen them. Im not a really light sleeper but the noise he makes brushing, hosing and feeding the dogs is actually really loud and clearly wakes me up on a daily basis. I shouldnt have to invest in ear plugs nor could i sleep in them, and i have had the window shut and i can still hear him, in this summer heat window shut is probably a worse option too. I dont see how im being petty at all i wake up at 7:30 for work yet he wakes me at 6:30 which is then pointless going back to sleep, the noise he generates is a really annoying sound too. We have dogs and cleaning the dog foul at 6:30am isnt necessary. He could quite easily put the food in the bowls in the house and bring them out. I take into consideration other people around me, i wouldnt cut the lawn at half 6 in a morning because its just not considerate, i dont play music really loud late at night and that sort of thing i'm not saying i have the worst neighbours in the world and never have that said its still annoying him waking me up before i need to be woken. I had a polite word with him one morning and he still continues im certain most people wouldnt tolerate it and just making out im the problem but fair enough and thanks for your opinion.

I don't think you have a choice in this matter.

Either tolerate it or move house.

Haha, probably dont to be honest, just wanted to potentially get some good suggestions (after wading through the trolls) and vent my fustration. Its annoying that the guy has moved in with this woman a few months ago and just not took any consideration of his neighbours.

People getting up for work is different to someone doing his daily chores at 6:30am which can be done a couple of hours later.

How long does the hosing and brushing last for? I'm guessing 5 minutes tops. Dogs usually eat their food pretty rapidly too. My other half's alarm wakes me up 1 hour before mine every single day. Yeah it's annoying to begin with, but you just have to deal with what is ultimately a minor frustration in the grand scheme of things, (you'll probably get used to it too, by the way). Life comes with 'noise'. From what you say the neighbour sounds like a pretty responsible dog owner. Also, to be frank, it's got bugger all to do with you who, when and why they moved in. It's not your house they moved into!

Probably around 10 minutes, once im up for 10 minutes i cant go back to sleep, an alarm is a few seconds until the other half turns it off, no big deal and easy to ignore, this isnt easy to ignore. Also we have good double glazing to the smart guy above. He is a responsible dog owner, not taking that away from him, but the stuff and times he does things isnt considerate.
