Noisy dog next doorWe knew that there was a dog next door when we moved. Its about 10 and a German Sheppard. They used to have another dog but had to rehome it. The trouble we are having well all the neighbours are having is that she barks for at least 3hours in the morning and other times as well. They have been reported by at least 4 different people and only recentley as well. I know she is lonely but the barking is driving us up the B****y wall. Ive told the owner and he told me to count from 6-10 and she should go in she doesnt. Do any of you have any ideas on how to help the situation. Jane Kado Guinness Simon Troy Chester and baby Angel

The owner seems very dismissive of your concerns and you have well founded cause for complaint here. All dogs will bark but it can be controlled. Three hours of incessant barking is unnecessary noise pollution and you can report it to environmental health! Good training can ensure the dog barks to alert, or in response to stimuli, not to get attention. Which it would seem this animal is doing now. Kado, maybe you could suggest to the owner that he can get his dog trained. It's simple, he can do it from a book, or get info online. If he says he's using the dog to guard ( a common retort) then he is not being effective as the dog isn't responding well and will probably lick burglars to death due to lack of attention! A good guard dog is a quiet one ! I know its hard but try not to silence the dog with food or soft words, he'll think its a reward and do it all the more. There are whistles and electronic gadgets that hurt the ears but I would only advocate this as a very last resort if the owner is obstructive... better to get the authorities involved then as well. But I appreciate your need for peace. I work nights and this would really cheese me off!! |

We had the same problems with our neighbours dog, only they barked all night, as they are kennelled outside, we spoke to them got no where, the dog warden had a word, got no where, so in the end, we bought a bark buster, which omits a high pitch noise every time they barked, its worked a treat... |

Thats sound a good idea moli where can i get one from. The owner has had like i said several complaints. Once somebody let the dog out and reported him to the rspca that she was being misstreated but when they came around they saw nothing wrong in the housing of the dog so nothing was done. |

Maddening, isn't it? There are two little yippy dogs across the street (don't know what they are, look like floor mops); they haven't been trained and bark and bark! The JR next door is a lovely well trained boy; only barks to alert the presence of strangers .....a shame people get a dog and then don't train it; not the dog's fault, really ... |

The poor girl is left at home most of the day. She has the run of the garden and the kitchen as well. |

Poor GSD, obviously suffering from separation anxiety. I doubt the RSPCA will do anything, unless the dog is being mistreated, not fed, etc. Is it worth several of the neighbours going round and having another word with the owner? |
