Jack Russell next door
It's driving me mad. Our houses are attached and every time they leave it it
barks for hours. and howls. Weekends are the worst, they leave it alone all day. I do expect a dog to bark if I have one next door, but it's getting too much. They recently had a baby and the dog seems to have gone out of the window. I've tried very hard for the past 18 months not to bother about it, but no the continual barking is really getting on my nerves. It's not his fault. He's left alone too much. I am not up to falling out with a new neighbour. but. they leave him alone too much and the poor lad is breaking his heart about it. They are out all day every day and every weekend, he sits in the window looking for them. And barks and barks. |

Do you have animal control where you could reports this (both as a nuisance to you and as neglect to the dog)? Of course, that does mean that you would be stirring up trouble with the neighbors, but it may come to that. It would be a good idea to take a tape recording of the constant barking that you could play for animal control or the police. There are some places that have "doggy day care" available, but that is expensive. It does not sound like your neighbors would go for that. MaryL |

Every time her neighbor's yappy little miniature poodle got om his nerves, her twenty pound marmalade, Billy, would go over and beat up the dog. That worked just fine until the dog forgot, and had to be taught another lesson.) (-)) |

The poor dog just breaks his heart about being left for so long. He is up in the window all day waiting for them to come home. Once he starts barking he doesn't know how to stop. My options are 1. knock on their door and tell it how it is, that leaving their dog alone for so long is distressing him and he is is really upset and I'm fed up with hearing him barking and howling. They won't like it. 2. Involve the RSPCA.. the animal act of 2006 covers home alone. They will know it's me, though. 3. Continue to ignore it as I've done for the past 18 months and seethe.

Seething is not a good thing. I know you don't want to confront them but perhaps they don't realize the dog barks from the minute they leave until they get back home. I like the suggestion of inviting them for tea; they'll have to hear the dog barking because it will be alone. Then you could mention it barks like that all the time. Jill |

It's possible to disagree and have a robust argument on here without being insulting. I gave you every chance Plonk. If there any word I dislike it's the c word and anyone who uses it on the group is gone instantly. You don't like to be told that you should have got Hobo neutered , do you? Call me what you want, you should get him the snip. |

They are out all day every day and every weekend, he sits in the window looking for them. And barks and barks. These situations are very difficult. Although our house is detached it is attached to our next door neighbours garage. This means that we hear the noise they make in there, mainly doors banging. We thought at first it was the back door of the garage and they did put a weighted spring on it but we still her doors banging. I think it's the cupboards they've got in there. It gets quite bad so I counted on one occasion and we had 18 bangs in one half hour. I can't imagine what they're doing in there. They're good neighbours and like you I don't want to upset them especially as they've already tried) but it's driving us mad. Do you think it might be an idea to invite them round for a coffee so that the dog is left on his own. Then they would hear the noise he makes? you could offer to take him a walk but I don't think you want to get that tied down or involved. Or what if when they're just coming home you get out into your front garden and start up a conversation dropping it in that conversation that you knew they were out because you heard their dog? We never see each other. We don't know each other they put up a huge fence when I was in hospital so we won't be chatting over the garden fence. Might be because of their JR versus they knew I had a cat, or not. They certainly rushed out when Boyfie had fight as the JR was out in the garden at the time. They thought he'd got hold of a cat, but not so. It was Boyfriend getting hold of a badcat at 12.30 pm because "it was near my house" Actually they are not badcats or nortycats at all. they merely want to pass through my garden and jump the gate to somewhere else. but if he sees them there will be a fight. |

None of that past history helps with trying to let them know *now* the JR barks all the time when they aren't home. They might not realize it because they aren't there. (Where is the baby in all this? off with a sitter?) The obviously don't know it's bothering you. (I remember because because you've mentioned it before._ If you don't tell them, how else are they to know? It doesn't have to be presented in a confrontational manner. I understand it's likely uncomfortable to do. But I wouldn't sit and seeth about it. Jill |
