Re: Neighbours and barking dogs
Talk to your neighbours first Floydy, and give them a chance to put it right, though if they are at work, I don't see how they can stop it. The dog is lonely.
When I had a problem with a neighbour, the first thing the council asked me was
had I spoken to the neighbour first.
Next they asked me to keep a diary of times and dates, and how long it went on for each time.
It was not until after that had all been completed that the council finally came out and fitted a recording device in my bedroom.
I don't know the situation with your neighbours. Is the dog left all day?
If so, as Muddy says, why get a dog if you're not even there to enjoy it?
Trouble is, because the dog is alone, no one is there to correct the behaviour and teach it not to, and so it carry's on. Bit like a child doing something bad all day and no one there to stop them, so they never learn it is wrong.
Totally pointless (and cruel) to tell it off later.
I think I would ask them if they are aware what happens when they have gone out, they probably aren't.
