Fooking moaning neighbours

What a load of shite. I dont suck hole to no neighbors. They keep cats and chickens but do I complain? no I don't it is all one sided shite at the moment. As for sticking my dog? I would like to see you try. Arsehole :Angryfire:ASSFLASH:

First of all you asked me for my opinion, which I gave gladly gave after you prompted for it. Apparently the only person that is right is you I can see no further reason for this argument to go on after several people have voiced against your own about barking dogs. Fortunately I am not your neighbour or you may have got your wish.

Best thing is for you to settle down and accept people do not agree with you on this occasion :)
 
I'm lucky , there's only one dog in my street and it's that far up the way that if it yaps you can only here it when the TV's off.
Me personally , I cannot see any reason why a dog should sit there all day yacking away when there's lots of tried and tested solutions to stop it from doing so.

I also can never understand why some people work all day but have a dog at home ?, makes no sense what so ever but then again, the barking won't affect them.

I use to live a few doors down from a guy who would leave 3 dogs in the garden all day, yack yack yack 12 hours a day and some scruffy git use to pop and throw food over the fence for them. Eventually they were poisoned by someone (not me). The peace after that was immense, they created so much stress for the older people bedsits it was unreal. Dog warden did jack shit bar knock and leave notes.

I've been pestered to get a dog by the kids for years so I've given in. I'm on the hunt for a dog that's had it's arse was stitched up, no vocal chords and bald oh and as lazy as a mexican village.
 
Didn't see him calling anyone an arsehole so no he isn't. Like I say fine line mate so lets leave it there. ;)

I can't agree with this post @IANB. The 1st post from CyborJaX was aggressive and threatening and Miggy reacted to it. The 2nd post from CyborJaX again hinted at the threat. No-one likes a keyboard warrior and we certainly don't expect it from a mod.
They are both at fault.
FWIW I don't agree with Miggys' dogs upsetting his neighbours, he should listen and try to do something about it.

If you can train a dog not to sh*t and pish in the house while your out why not do the same with barking ?.

Lets just agree that 2 wrongs don't make a right and all move forward :)

If you read post one properly I mentioned cats and chickens. The cat jumps on our conservatory roof and teases the dogs. Wtf do you expect them to do?. The chickens are running loose in there garden making noises again tormenting my dogs. If they don't play ball with me then I won't play ball with them simples. There is no need for shit from mods on this site getting aggressive. You are supposed to show an example.

Miggy let it drop mate and move on. We don't need shit from VIP either.
 
I agree with the cat being an issue on your roof, but is it not an option to move the dogs into another part of the house as a means to an end (or however that expression goes lol). Mean the cat can't annoy the dogs and hopefully they won't bark while your out. Or even leaving the tv on as another option (works for my friends dog).

Barking is in the dogs nature it is protecting it's surroundings especially when cats are jumping all over your property putting two fingers up at you.
 
@miggy why not try and put some cat scares up on the roof and around your conservatory ? I read they don't like mirrors or anything reflective such as old CD etc or invest in a motion detector water sprinkler

How to Keep Cats Away: 9 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow

If you can keep the cats away it might stop the barking if it hasn't become a habit already

I feel you should bow down to this one @miggy. I know firsthand what it's like to experience excessive noise, not from barking dogs, but from both neighbours. Eastern european one side and Nepalese on the other.
It grinds you down mate and it makes me so angry at times. I even wonder at times whether I am being too sensitive, is it an age thing? or am I right in defending my right to a bit of peace. I am unlikely to be able to resolve my problem without moving but I think yours' can.
Tell your neighbour that you understand there is a problem and that you are going to try and alleviate it. Try one of the methods suggested and ask your neighbours' opinion, get them involved. If you are successful in making them happier they would probably be more willing to take your concerns onboard.

I think most people would rather live in harmony. Personally, I hate contention and having to continually confront my neighbours. Eastern europeans don't talk, they shout. The Nepalese erect a large piece of tarpaulin against their house, looks like the worst tent in the world. They then all sit in it with a fire going and knock pieces of wood together for a few hours. Whats' that all about?

I have 2 dogs myself
Dogs bark its a way of communicationand most people around you will understand this :)
One of my dogs will bark at the back gate if they hear someone walking past(not a bad thing in some ways as someone knows there is a big dog behind the gate)
but if this carries on for more that a few barks (knowing the person should have passed by) I will go out and tell him to "Leave It" and when he returns to me he gets a treat :)
I know this is hard for you as you are out at work and a different situation but you can train a dog to pretty much anything and most of the time and dog is more interested in food (treats)and you the owner/master than anything else

I for one don't want to listen to my dogs barking so I'm sure my neighbours don't either

I read this is because you both work nights for just a few hours ? Think about using a dog create, make the create worth going into by fitting treat balls and filling a Kong with meat paste or cheese spread

There are lots of things you can do to help yourself from getting grief and your neighbours a good nights sleep :)

I have been looking at these anti bark collars that they sell, I wonder if they really work. It's only for a few hours at night. They are both fast asleep now. They don't bark all day only if they want to go out. I am trying my best to resolve this. My neighbour said she has heard me shouting at the dogs. I don't want to harm my animals I am a huge animal lover and I want to get the safest and best possible device to help me. We bought a full set of conservatory blinds to blank the view of the cat out but it jumps from the fence and onto our roof so the blinds look nice but don't really serve the purpose I needed it for.

At least your trying m8, no one expects a dog not to bark it wouldn't be normal. What pish's me and plenty others off is when the dogs are left for long periods of time on a regular basis and as soon as the owner comes back they shut up so their non the wiser. You then tell them and they say "IT'S A FOOKIN DOG !! THATS WHAT THEY DO!"

I had a neighbor once had 2 collies. Everytime he pulled the leads out they'd go ape sh*t barking. I never minded that or barking here and there because you knew at some point they'll shut up or the neighbor would tell them to shut up which use to happen. Its when it becomes torture 24/7 and that owners make no effort, infact enjoy the thought it's pishing you off no end.
I've heard some horrid tales about neighbors and barking dogs, very unpleasant
 
i got the same problem with damn barking dogs next door, every time some one shuts a car door outside, every time a bus or lorry drives past, etc etc ...
I have talked to them politely that didn't work, ( dogs are barking now just typing this lol ) so I had to lose my temper with them since then they try there best to keep um quiet by shouting at then lol.... so not as bad as it used to be , but when they go out that's it bark bark bark bark.... ive said to them when they go out put a radio on so they got something to listen to but they are to stupid to do this.

the reason dogs bark is if they are happy to see there owner or they are stressed and feel threatened, and being on there own stresses a dog big time.

so easy to train a dog not to bark as well..... no excuse for barking dogs, sorry .............

Care to share Ratts, the reason I'm asking is my girlfriend has a Lhaso Apso and it thinks it's a fecking Rottie, barks at everything, takes ages for us to get it calmed down, I've heard those collars don't work others say they do but I'm looking to try anything though

Cheers
 
become the pack leader :)

i used the radio and training to stop the dogs from barking......

A neighbour in the next street did have a noisy dog- she left it on the balcony all day, every day while she was out at work. It annoyed her immediate neighbours as it barked at anything that moved; cats, dogs, pedestrians, cyclists, you name it! Eventually the owner was persuaded to get one of those collars and- put it this way, we could all tell when the batteries were flat! Yes, it worked while it was on, but it didn't seem to train the dog permanently.
Dogs do get stressed when left alone, but they can be conditioned (so I hear, no first-hand experience) by leaving them for 5 minutes, then ten, etc. etc. etc., building up gradually to more 'normal' absences. If the dog knows the owner is coming back, it is less stressful for it.
I can't think of a solution for @miggy. Whilst I sympathise with the neighbours (having been in a worse situation myself) it is difficult if their cat is antagonising the dogs. Cats are of course impossible to control, short of keeping them inside. They won't be 'told' to keep off the conservatory roof! Perhaps suggest they keep the cat inside during the 4 hours- at least that will prove one way or another if they really are responsible???
