Noisy dogs.

jobeenfitz · 06-10-2013 04:57PM #1

I live in a quite estate in Athenry. New neighbours moved in and have two dogs living in their back yard. Anytime anyone goes out my door they go mad barking. Is there anything that can be done? I don't really blame the dogs, their just doing what dogs do. Its the people who own these dogs I blame. Is it the case that barking dogs are not as annoying to their owners as they are to their neighbours?

The dogs are probably going through a settling in period. Give them time.

Hmmm ... that is a good way of getting rid of neighbours and then he could call the dog pound.

We have a lot of noisy dogs in our estate. Their owners leave them alone all day and the dogs bark non-stop. Hard to know what to do in that situation. I doubt the owners even realize how their dogs are miserable and suffering from "separation anxiety" all day. But when the owners just sit in their house and let the dogs go ape, that can be annoying.

As per a suggestion I read here a while back, I changed my WiFi name to "Shut Your Fcuking Dog Up"; but the neighbors don't seem to care and the dogs don't seem to have phones, so it didn't achieve much.

Mention it to the neighbours and gauge how they react. If they're flippant about it then give it a few days and if the dog's still barking contact the council. It may just be a case that the dog is having a hard time settling in to his new surroundings. Best thing to do first is just speak to the owners about it.

there is a nuisance by barking dogs,section 25, Control of dogs act 1986. You can complain under this to your local council , it should be addressed on their website under environment. This is from Cork City Councils website-

Barking Dogs

Excessive Barking

Excessive dog barking that causes a nuisance is an offence. Where it appears to the District Court that a nuisance has been created as a result of excessive barking, the Court may -
Order a person to abate the nuisance by exercising due control over the dog.
Make an order limiting for such period as may be specified in the order the number of dogs to be kept by a person on their premises.
Direct that a dog be delivered to a dog warden to be dealt with by him in accordance with the provisions of the Control of Dogs Act, 1986, as if the dog were an unwanted dog.
Nuisance by Barking Dogs, Section 25, Control of Dogs Act 1986.

You can make a complaint about excessive barking to the District Court in accordance with Section 25 of Control of Dogs Act 1986 and Noise Regulation.

Well today on boards I have learned that you can use break fluid to destroy someone's car paint and kill their dogs. Very versatile.

its happening in or easte as well we got the residentis committee together and 3 went around to there house to complain.we also contacted the dog warden,they can check if they have a dog licence.
it worked for about 4/5 months but the dogs have started up again.
they will now be getting a letter from the residentis committee saying that if it does not stop they will be contacting the courts/gardia and they will settle it through the courts.
you cannot have some p1rick of famaily destroying the peace and quite of your estate.do not let them away with it.

Knock into the people and tell them the problem you're having with their nosey dogs.

Get an Ultrasonic anti bark unit, it screeches back at the dogs everytime they bark, after a while they'll give barking as it hurts their ears.

It works on some teenagers as well.

This sounds good. Must check it out. thanks. Will have a chat with the neighbour first if the barking continues.

Right so, punish the poor dogs with a screeching device? That's hardly fair on the animal. Fault rests with the neighbours. They need to be responsible to their neighbours and their dogs. They can keep their animals indoors for example. Don't be such a wimp, if your neighbour is pissing you off do something about it!

Why people get dogs just to be ignored and kept in the garden I'll never know.

And what would you suggest doing that would solve this Padraig?

2 x sausages with rat poison in them...

GarysGirl · 06-10-2013 06:34PM

I agree with Padraig.od it is completely the owners fault. The dogs are doing no wrong. Any body wanting to have a dog should have to have themselves aswell as the the dogs trained to avoid any situations like this where they are having a negative effect on someboday else.

Rho b · 06-10-2013 07:03PM

I too would suggest that you go and speak with the neighbours. However bring a friend with you to act as a witness to the conversation - also as a back up in case they are total nut cases and react in an aggressive manner.

I'm no crazy animal lover, but jebus what a ****ing stupid comment.

How longs it been happening op? I'd say they'll settle down once they're used to the new smells and sounds of their new surroundings. If not, have a word to the owners like a normal person.

They only moved in 3 days ago. I'v already said I would speak to the owners if it continues. Hopefully they are reasonable people.

It is human nature to try and get your own back and it may happen that the nuisance neighbour may damage your property in retaliation to complaints about noisy dogs.

Owners of noisy dogs tend to be weak, lazy and careless sociopaths who have little or no regard for their neighbours, like the owners of constantly set off badly maintained alarms.

Directly contact the Gardai or County council for guidance and advice on making a complaint.

Do not make your identity known or else you leave yourself open to retaliation from these people.

I'd start with not blaming the dog, it's the owners fault. Lots of good suggestions on the thread.

I agree its not the dogs fault. This is the second time you have posted this advice but if you read the opening post I already said the same thing.

Well you also thought getting a device to aurally assault the dog was a good idea. It isn't.

Inbox · 06-10-2013 08:15PM

Get some hyena poo and let them sniff it through the fence. That'll scare them to silence.

Well its good that your here to let me know whats a good or bad Idea. Its not as easy make these decisions when your pizzed off. Again if you read my posts I said it sounded like a good idea but I would speak to the owner first. If they are not helpful I would try to solve my problem of noisy dogs.

It's only been 3 days! Jeeze. It'll take about 2 weeks for the dogs to settle and get used to their new surroundings and your problem will disappear. Worth the wait over making enemies of your new neighbours

The vast majority of the population of the British Isles are quite delusional in that they see nothing wrong with the proposition that a modern densely populated urban estate is a suitable place to keep a dog.

Noisy dogs.
