help - neighbour dog non-stop parking 24/7

Cat0101 — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 03:11:00 GMT

I am a super patience person, and love planting in my little backyard.

1. the new moved in neighbour is the owner since Jan 2023

2. she brings along a young female golden retriever

3. at the beginning, she tried to calm down her dog.

4. her job is far and cannot back home every days

5. the poor dog is home alone, but just a tiny noise (e.g. keys, closing door, walking in the tiny court yard, ...) the dog will bark non-stop. Even though double glassed door still can hear it.

6. sometime I can hear the dog is exhausted from barking, after a rest, if some sounds come again, the dog bark again

7. this is not kind to the dog and the life of the dog is not good

8. my husband suffer it a lots, because he stay home most of the time

9. our relationship get worse and argue one time more worse than one time

10. now i felt depressed by busy job, bad tempered husband, non-stop barking dog, ....

11. 5 months passed, my little backyard like a terrible forest. Because i cannot stay outside with barking noise. Even though I cannot bloom out the leaves.

We did talk with that owner few times and recently the house sold after a month. The owner carry on to work and not stay home. Dog is longer time by herself. Situation is getting worser.

Please help to suggest me how i could report it and make it stop?

Hi welcome

I think I can help. Although this problem likely doesn't at this stage come fully under mental health I do have lots of experience in animal control having been a dog ranger at 3 councils in the past.

Dog control, Registration, noise, wandering and so on is under the jurisdiction of your local council. You will have to take your complaints to them. Best in letter/email form.

In these situations the owners usually don't realise their dog us a. That loud b. They ignore the dogs basic needs like exercise, company 3. Ignorant of laws.

Sometimes one or two simply changes can make the world of difference eg a proper kennel in a good location like facing a wall away from your direction. Toys. Lots of walks. Bones.

I've solved a case whereby the owner employed a dog walker daily for one hour.

It is best if you can communicate to the owner the extent of the problem. A tape recording helps, say on your phone and suggest the ideas above.

Failing that write to your council and include the efforts you have made.

Good luck
