[Closed] So, next door but one has got a dog.

Keep it down, I'm trying to have a relaxing bath.

When nobody in? Record some of it and take it round for owners to hear, if things don't settle down.

Reported

When nobody in?

Dunno. It's often in their back yard, whether the "owners" are in or not I've no idea. I wonder whether booting it outside for an hour is their idea of exercise / dog toileting?

Steal the dog and put it in your garden. See how they like it.

You have my sympathy, until a couple of years ago we had a person at least 5 houses away that had a dog that was put out for the night and it then proceeded to whine, bark or howl for most of the night.
We always sleep with the windows open so in the end we slept with earplugs in.

Finally a few of us went round "pitchfork style" as the bloke was a right mardy bugger.
I think the fact that we went round en masse helped as after claiming he didn't know about the noise it was pointed out that he was the first person to complain when a neighbours builders had started before 8am during the week so he certainly wasn't deaf.

Good luck

Who would win in a fight between a Cougar and a dog?

Open your front door walk to your next door but one neighbours and have a polite chat about the barking , if that fails record date and times of the barking then report to the dog warden .

Yes it's wonderful dog owners letting the rest of us experience the joy of their pets. We should thank them every time they chase and try to bite us, they shit outside our house's and in all public spaces. The shit bag decorated trees and overflowing stinking shit bins, not to mention the chorus of barking dogs of an evening.

The resented putting their dogs on a lead/keeping it under control and drive to take over public spaces to the exclusion of everybody else.

No really thanks.

a bit like other peoples kids then .. I see a similarity especially round our neck of the woods

Oh dear. Here we go.

Still early days but I think [url= http://www.barkstopper.co.uk/mhome.html ]this[/url] works against the little yapping shyte of a dog next door.

I feel sorry for the dog.

they shit outside our house's

You have my sympathy. Having a similar problem, next door neighbour leaves a large GSD on its own for at least 7 hours daily. Whilst mostly it's quiet during the day, when she returns it's non-stop barking and she does nothing to stop it. Have come extremely close to shouting at her to sort out her bl**dy dog.

We have a neighbour who openly lets her dog shite in front of the door (flats) and any where else in the street.
Sho only picks it up if she notices someone watching.
I have to walk to the car with my eyes glued to the road to avoid a dogshite/carpet interface.
I like dogs, it's 'some' owners that want putting down.

Have you considered popping it back through her letterbox?

Adopt a similar attitude she has to leaving her dog's shit. Do it when no-one's looking.

a dogshite/carpet interface.

In your own words, the correct response.

Surely a dog that can say AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH!!! must be worth a few quid.

Sometimes followed with "[i]SHUT UP![/i]" from the owner?

Yeap, got that one too, truely irritating.
As a fellow sufferer, you have my sympathies.

The neighbors' dog will not stop barking.
He is barking the same high, rhythmic bark
that he barks every time they leave the house.
They must switch him on on their way out.

The neighbors' dog will not stop barking.
I close all the windows in the house
and put on a Beethoven symphony full blast
but I can still hear him muffled under the music,
barking, barking, barking,

and now I can see him sitting in the orchestra,
his head raised confidently as if Beethoven
had included a part for barking dog.

When the record finally ends he is still barking,
sitting there in the oboe section barking,
his eyes fixed on the conductor who is
entreating him with his baton

while the other musicians listen in respectful
silence to the famous barking dog solo,
that endless coda that first established
Beethoven as an innovative genius.

Letterbox incident is on its way . . .

You need some of them there sheeps for it to bother so you can dig out the .243.

My wife was 18 when I first met her, I'd stop over the odd night at her parents house. Her next door neighbour had a jack russell that was left in the back garden to bark all night. Her neighbour was nigh on stone deaf so oblivious to it all every time someone complained.

Felt sorry for the dog left out in all weathers but I lost count of the times I ended up hanging out of the window in the middle of the night telling it to shut up.

I think the accepted spelling these days is BORK

It's a dog, not the Swedish Chef.

Do the people living there look like they might enter into polite discussion about their noisey dog?
any neck tattoos?

Kids bark all night long where you are?

Local council dealt with a neighbour during a summer of discontent, but if it escalates to that it needs to be declared if you sell your house (or it did then)
Better sorted between neighbours if possible, without dispute

Bach, surely?

The sort who own a constant barking dog arent usually the sort you want to have a conversation with about their constant barking dog.
Councils are generally useless.
Rearrange the following:- Sausages, antifreeze soaked, over the fence, toss.

The only way not to be either disturbed by neighbours or to disturb your neighbours is not to have any, move.

I use to think we were pretty good (when we lived on a normal residential street), and then a neighbour mentioned one day how I woke him every day when I went to work at 6am... Now we're in the country and don't have neighbours near enough to disturb.

And we can apply this to noisy , ill disciplined children as well ?

We have a neighbour who does not understand dogs too.
Got himself 2 husky pups as guard dogs (both soft as could be) realized they were no good for intended purpose,so he sold them.
Next got a GSD pup ,outside compound and constsantly shouts at said dog ,it comes over to ours 3 down for attention when he lets it out in garden/field,when he went away he asked me to feed it ,poor thing craves a bit of love,and is made to stay out all weathers with just open crate for a bed.Most nights it is barking crazy a local rabbits etc as they are outside his compound laughing at her.
Then he says to me one day were selling up ,can't take the dog with us ,do you want to buy her?
I polity declined and suggested the he take her to local dog shelter.

6 months on he's still there and the broken dog (example of bad GSD breeding )

Our Dog laughs each time we walk past his gate i'm sure in smugness as he was a stray ,now has luxury n warm bed indoors every night.

So your not alone.

And we live in the country, well 3 houses in our lane.

Dunno TBH. They only moved in a few weeks ago after the elderly couple that lived there did what elderly couples inevitably do, I've not actually seen them with sufficient regularity to work out who lives there (as opposed to visiting) yet.

I [i]think[/i] they're Polish, so are probably here to steal our jobs, claim lots of benefits and murder is in our sleep; that's the way it goes these days right?

And the dog, don't forget the dog.
Whoof!

Don't take this the wrong way, but your dog is a bit of a dick.

FFS don't give people stupid ideas.

Owners the problem not the dog.

Forget the antifreeze-laden sausages, just lob a petrol bomb over there......

WOOOMPH!

Don't take this the wrong way, but your dog is a bit of a dick.

Our dog knows where he's well off.

That's all well and good, but to laugh at the misfortune of another dog. Well, that's just being a dick.

There but for the grace of dog go I....

Now you see, this is someone who doesn't know dogs or people. When me and the wife split and dog got moved into a new house, she (the dog!) was very restless and barked constantly whenever nobody was home with her - her new neighbours left a rude note on the door, demonstrating what ignorant morons (or whinging old biddies 😉 ) non-dog owners can be. The ex went round and apologised, explained the situation. Few days later, dog has settled in, no more (constant) barking.
So it may be that Cougar's neighbour's dog will settle soon.

The people over the road and down a bit have a husky of some kind we never hear it. Last night they were talking to some people in the street with 3 other dogs when all of a sudden all 4 dogs kicked off, barking and snarling really loudly.

There was a frantic scrabbling at our side gates and the cat heaved itself over the top with its ears folded back and that 'oh shit' look on it face 😆

It's no wonder people leave out poisoned meat with ground up glass in it on dog shitting routes and gardens.

Do people actually do this?!! If so then those f'wits are

complete brain dead ****, they need a few claw hammer half crowns in their fods!

the real world sounds ever so gritty and tough
I doubt its very common though it will happen.

A real world? Where?? 😉

I would vouch that those who consider and act out poisoning a nuisance dog is also a brain dead arsehole.

Poisoning the owner who doesn't give a flying * is more suitable, it's their lack of giving a flying * that's caused the nuisance dog.

Says alot really, "Oh I can't reason with this one, I know I'll poison the dog, that'll learn 'em....."

I think chestercopperpot has watched one too many episodes of Taggert.

ever so gritty and tough

Not for you old boy. It's all hedge funds, tweed jackets, crumpets, public school ties, cricket, regattas, Tuscany, Austin Healeys and which gravel is best for your one mile driveway 😉

@ Notter - Solves the problem in the short term. Shit happens that's life.

Could try and retrain the dog??

@ bongohoohaa - Any particular episodes relating to this thread?

Are they tenants? If so get in touch with the landlord - chances are the lease says no pets.
