next door's dog keeping me awake

benny

I feel really sorry for you.we have 4 dogs,small but dogs none the less, one of them often barks at night....one of us gets out of bed........goes out to the garden and screems at him(so the neighbours hear) and tell him to go to bed! It usually works. TRY it, mabe the rest of the neighbours will wake up and they can shout at him too.then you can all have a party and forget about sleep..no really .shout at him!!! tell him!shut up and go to bed!

dog's still at it, i have been trying this method benny, works for about 5 min, then it starts again, then i hollar again, housemate thought someone was being murdered.

then i hear the back door open and he takes him in.

had to shout 4 times the other night before he got the finger out.

this guy knows his dog is a nuisance, and yet he waits for me to shout out my window at 2am to bring him in, that's bang out of order.

i went in the other night to have a word, no one there, then, 10.30, dog kicks off.

so i went around again, lighs on, he's in, but no answer.

i havent realy stressed how bad this barking is, there's other dogs in the neighbourhood that bark, they're prety normal, but this guy is somthing else, its like a tap dripping, there's no variation.

I know we kind of disagreed on this but have you thought of actually buying an anti bark collar yourself and giving it to the man? It's less than €30 if I remember. You might need to talk to him becuase some are electric shock and others are spray based. THey do work and are not as cruel as they sound they learn within a day or two. We actually removed the better after a while as the dog understood it was when he had the collar on he shouldn't bark.

I know it shouldn't be your responsibility but if you want to solve the problem it might help

i haven't actualy talked to him yet, but will suggest a bark collar if he gets thick.

i'd rather not pay for it out of principal, but if i had to i'd get one.
