Dog Barking - semi detached house

    Hi,

    We approached our neighbour two years ago when I was recovering from cancer to ask them not to leave their dog barking while they were out during the day (they leave the dog in their sitting room which is adjoined to ours).

    My husband then approached them again and they just said "we can't do anything about it". Fast forward two years, and we're back in the same situation. We approached them again tonight and basically said we cannot live with listening to the dog all day every day barking while I try to work and study a degree.

    He said he would get earplugs if it was him. And said that there is no way they are forking out for day care for the dog and they are not getting rid of it. So I said that this may go to court.

    What should the next step be and do we have any kind of case do you think?

    Thanks.

    ask them to get a bark collar for the dog, should sort it out.

    They simply don't care. They won't cooperate whatsoever.

    If they are council tenants perhaps explain the situation to them & ask for help under the tenancy agreement If its a privately owned dwelling then you have to go down the legal route

    Send them a district court summons for nuisance various people on here who have done it maybe try PMing them. Bear in mind there is a risk of potentially getting costs awarded against you so always best to do this through a solicitor.

    I would leave any emotional blackmail out of it though.
