Neighbours dog barks constantly...

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Keep feeding it cats until it dies from gorging itself to death

Council have a duty to look into the matter if you report it (will start with keeping a diary). Defra have a guide as well, maybe print it off and stick it through their door if they are the vindictive sort. You could even send it to them in the post.

Jesus, where do you live? Bentilee? Looks scummy!

They got evicted last year with £90,000 woth of debts but the house is in a worse state now.
The new buyer got a £130,000 house for £50,000 because it needs so much work and he has gutted both the inside & out.
He is a builder so it will be great when he's finished.

Our council were useless.
We told them what time to come but they always turned up when somebody was in and the dog didn't bark.

Can't the OP complain to a council environment officer?

This is what my council says regarding dog noise.

My mum had a problem with a neighbours dogs, she had to keep a diary and record it, the council removed the dogs eventually.

Bark back:

Buy lots of dark chocolate and feed it to the dog. It will get sick and not bark anymore.

Why would someone leave their dog outside barking for three days? I'd go and check if only to see if everything is ok.

Report it or tell your neighbour to get it checked out

Shock collar, hide it under it's current collar. Train dog to shut the **** up.

Next doors dog is the same, every morning 6am it gets let out and barks constantly all ****ing day. Then goes in at night, repeat.
Sometimes just want to beat it to death with a shovel and throw it in the ****ing wheely bin.

Our neighbour has a couple of huskies and they keep them in a large kennel in their back garden. When they are not home they constantly HOWL.

I feel your pain.

We have 2 dogs but ours are King Charles Cavaliers and they barely make a noise unless next door neighbours dog barks (different neighbour).

Sometimes I wish I could shoot them, but then I think... it's not the dogs' fault, its the owners.... maybe I should shoot them instead?

Talking of noise... behind our back garden are some garages.

On a saturday afternoon some dude decides to get his banger racing piece of crap out of his garage and hit it with a large (what sounds like a sledge)-hammer and revs the crap out of it.

If it's not him, it's bloody kids kicking a football against the garage doors.

It's a good job I dont have a gun as there would be some questions to be answered by now.

Every time the dog barks just yell out your window : "YES THIS IS DOG"

I don't know why, but i'm laughing like a little girl at this one...

had a similar issue with a barking dog when i lived at my rents.
Every night they would put the thing out at about 8pm and it would bark non-frigging stop. Really irritated me and I lived about 10 doors away from it. I felt really sorry for the next door neighbours as they had young kids.
Anyway, went round one night during my final exams as my temper finally frayed, knocked on the door and saw someone come to the window adjacent. Didn't answer.
Knocked louder. Didn't answer.
They obviously knew I was there and what I was there for. Went home, put in a complaint via my local councils webside. Got a letter two or three days later from the council acknowledging it and whadya know...two days after that, no more dog barking at night.

Councils do work...occasionally.

 

[Cuchulain]

and I really mean, constantly.

Now we have a couple of dogs...so overal, a barking dog doesn't bother me much...but pretty much any given time of the day this dog is barking, non stop.

We commented on it on Sunday and its Wednesday now, and it's STILL barking.

Is there anything we can do? anonymous complaint or something to get the authorities round?

Thanks all...

If it's barking past 11pm, get on the phone to environmental health via your local council, they'll send you a diary (of sorts) to keep a record of when the dog barks and how long for etc.

Once you sent it back though you need to keep badgering them constantly, our neighbour had a mental alsation doing the same thing and despite 3 visits from me he ignored it. After I made enviromental healths life a misery from constant phone calls they plagued him with visits from officers, dog wardens, endless legal letters and deadlines etc and after a little while he got rid of the dog.

If you just leave enviromental health to deal with it in their own time you'll get nowhere.

Need 1 hour MP3 of said continuous barking.

Maybe it wasnt the council that did something but the fact that someone had gone round to the persons house to complain about it.

Councils rarely do anything about this sort of thing, or anything really. They just about manage to arrange to empty our bins every now and then, but after that they have to have a long relax in a health spa on their tax payers paid expesnes.

Take a **** in their garden to assert your dominance and let the mutt know who's territory this is.

The dog will stop, surprised at how out of dates your meme knowledge is.

You are still my favourite.
