Advice on noisey Dog

hufpc8w3adnk65

Hi all


Our neighbors dog barks all the time. At cars, planes,cats,other dogs even passing birds! There back garden where they keep him in right on top of my back garden and my bedroom is at the back of the house. I’ve called around a few times to ask them to calm the dog or take him inside or something but a few hours later he’s back at it. Last Sunday morning at 7am I had to go knocking at the door as he’s was barking since 6. Talking to them doesn’t seem to work Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before and have advice?

Constantly.....but unfortunately I can't advise you as my neighbours don't actually care. The incessant barking doesn't seem to bother them. Drives me nuts but unfortunately some people are a law unto themselves :rolleyes:

They have an environmental officer who handles noise and nuisance issues. A long drawn out process but might be the only way to go. Unfortunately you have talked to them in person on more than one occasion which lets them know who did the reporting. I do not know if you have to complain in person to the neighbour first but it is always wise to keep your identity secret in case of retaliation.

You need to keep and build up a record of occurrences and you may have to sign a written affidavit as to the severity of the noise. Any noise before 8am is not allowed.

If youve asked them to sort it, and they havent taken the oppurtunity, you now have a choice of the next 8 years of fcukin misery, or falling out with them.


See noisy dogs bit:

Id try dialogue one more time, and also start a diary of all the times the dog has been a nuisance.
Good luck.

I can't understand the mentality of people. Surely if its driving you crazy it must be affecting them too?

If they are not open to reason I guess the council is your next option.

You know its not the dogs fault. Is it being kept outside all the time in all weather ? Is it being interacted with ? Is it that the dog is lonely ?

Non legal answer. If after repeated requests to the owners and no joy from the council I would take the dog and drop it at a pound.

You are seriously suggesting that the op breaks into their neighbour's land and steals their property?

I don't think he is suggesting that at all. He is simply saying what he would do himself in the circumstances.

He did state it was not legal in fairness.

No, I'm stating what I would do in that situation.

Op, i had a similar situation with a neighbour but in fairness to him after i complained he got a bark collar for the dog which works a treat as long as they remember to put it on. Even the dog seems happier when he’s not barking and stressed out all the time. I would suggest that to your neighbour but ultimately your only real course of action is through the circuit court if all else fails. When i looked into it before it’s quite an easy process and doesn’t require a solicitor. The dog warden should be able to give you all the details.

As long as you’re the only one that can hear them, then let them bark away.

The dog could have mental issues or maybe a muzzle could be administered northside dogs are more problematic than southside dogs I believe its there surrounding environment and upbringing.

Every thread about incessant barking has someone come along saying 'dogs bark, get over it'. These must be the worst people to have as neighbours, no consideration for other people's right to live without being tormented by your pets!

All too common a problem in Ireland sadly...Dogs allowed to bark constantly and annoy neighbours...Dogs allowed out on the roads attacking pedestrians and cyclists.

Some people are ignorant cnuts who should never be allowed to own Dogs, the laws and enforcement in this area are way too lax.

And at the end of the day its often the Dog that eventually suffers the consequence of having a couldn't care less owner.

Spanish Eyes

Are other near neighbours not affected by the incessant barking also?

Maybe approach other neighbours and speak to the offending owners as a group? There's safety in numbers.

It is soul destroying when your life is affected by this type of noise.

A dog is a fairly big mammal very similar to a small child in size and physiology. What kills a dog could very easily kill a kid. I knew of people who attempted this poisoning approach who were very heavily fined or imprisoned for their actions.

I know that farmers poison their land to get rid of dogs worrying sheep but this is on their own property and is done to protect sheep from being mauled by carelessly kept dogs where it is impossible to trace the owners.

Data bases and chipping will soon sort this out as will DNA testing of registered dogs in the future.

We had a similar issue years ago, ended up getting a device that emitted a high pitch noise when the dog barked only the dog could hear.

Took about 3 weeks but the dog figured it out in the end.

I find if a dog is left out all night it will bark and bark at anything that moves or makes a noise. Once it is put in to it's kennel and locked in it's usually quiet.
I had two small terriers some years back and once it got duskish they would stark barking and it only stopped when they were put in for the night. Nothing more annoying.
I like the idea of the high frequency noise triggered by the barking.

OwaynOTT

We had this problem too.
Now I'm an extremely heavy sleeper and it takes a lot to wake me but this dog would do it.
A little yippy bark from all hours in the morning.
It was affected my sleep terrible.
The partner talked to them, not to be throwing him outside as he's only little and wants to be around ye.
Didn't really work.
Thankfully, it's longer an issue because my partner walks our dog with their dog and one of the older children from next door.
It works. Dog is happy and only barks occasionally.
Maybe you could walk their dog? Bit of a weird suggestion but it works and you'll enjoy it too.
Another friend of mine walks his next door neighbours dog too. Their are old and wild struggle.

The laws are no good and the problem is widespread and I would say it is costing the country millions each year. People all over the country in estates are tormented. I would say every 200 meters there's a dog owner who is causing untold damage to their neighbours.

The only way for this to be solved is to setup an online petition and get it discussed in the dail.

Op your only option is court. Do it for the sake of your sanity. And do it fast.

There are laws and they do work but ultimately people are reluctant to take their neighbours to court which is the only real way when all other negociations have failed. If my neighbour is an ignorant asshole who couldn’t give a sh1t about my peace and quiet, I’d have no issue taking him to court.

No. I don't think the laws are suitable in this day and age anymore. We all know why that is, or we should all know.
You might have no issue taking someone to court, that doesn't mean other people won't.

Noise pollution is a huge problem all over this country. I'm not sure what percentage of politicians live in built up estates.

Just be aware that this noise will also torment any we'll behaved dogs living in the area.

Fair point, never thought of that. We only used it for a few months.

I've heard of something similar, but it was something a lot stronger that ended the barking for good. Not sure if he was telling he truth (which was very unfair on the dog), but he was desperate as the dog kept waking his young kids during the night and the neighbour would do nothing about it.

But it's only activated when the dog bark, is that correct, and I imagine the range is limited.

Thats correct, and 20 metres i think.

Any dogs nearby can start howling at the noise. Then you have neighbors complaining that usually we'll behaved dogs are howling at night for no apparent reason.

I think you’re making that up now. It’s designed to do the exact opposite. The range will only work where it’s directed. It cant go around corners or through fences so there is slim chance of it affecting any other dog.
To those posters going on about poisoning, it’s not the dogs fault that his owner is an asshole FFS. Doing something like that makes you worse than the owner imo. Grow a pair of balls and sue the fcukker. If he doesn’t care about you why should you give a sh1t about him.

I agree, fcuking barking dogs are brain drainers,owners need to cop the fcuk on, mostly in social housing estates,no cop on, ignorant pet owners ,I've at least 2 around me who let them bark incessantly at times,daily ,be it any day,as a former dog owner (16 yrs) any time I wasn't at home ,he was inside the kitchen,walked up to 8 miles daily,dogs will bark ,and bark unless owners wake up, walk the animal,and if he's a barker,either keep him in,slap him on the nose,or get rid of him
