    Live in Drogheda, in housing estate. My next door neighbour has a terrior. I'd they have it about 5 years. I can't open my back door without it ging off on one. The neighbours have complained to them and nothing has happened. Ive been told report it to the gards but I think theyve a lot more important issues to seal with, can anyone advise

    Report to council.

    Cops no use for that.

    Is it left barking all night ?

    Could make an application to the District Court pursuant to section 108 of the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 - this is the bit that deals with noise related nuisance.

    It's probably not serious enough for that though?

    If it only barks when you misspell something, I can understand the problem... :eek:

    The dog warden are fantastic but can't do much if the dog isn't out and about. Ultimately, you'll have to bring your neighbours to court if you want action taken. And you'll have to tell them that you're doing it too.

    From http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/environment/environmental_protection/noise_regulations.html#l3076c

    Section 25 of the Control of Dogs Act 1986 deals with nuisance by barking dogs. If you don’t get a satisfactory response from the dog owner, you may complain to the District Court*, using the form prescribed under the Control of Dogs Act. These forms are available from local authorities.

    The court may make an order requiring the occupier of the premises in which the dog is kept to abate the nuisance by exercising due control over a dog. The court may limit the number of dogs that can be kept on a premises or may direct that a dog be delivered to a dog warden to be dealt with as unwanted.

    *Before you can apply to the district court you must give written notice to the dog owner of your intention to do so.
