Barks!!!

MissAdventure Wed 17-Aug-22 23:49:29

I'm really not complaining or asking for advice.

I'm just musing at whether people eat, watch tv, get ready for bed, all with a playlist of barcks on constantly.

I beg to differ Baggytrazzas. As I said in my post, the owners of our yapper are there and if they are in the garden with it yapping, they just shout over it. They are not on holiday. This has been going on for months.

If the owners were around they would stop the dog from barking, I'm sure. Could it be someone who has gone on holiday leaving the dog at home, maybe with just someone popping in to feed it?

A dog owner with a dog??? I have surpassed myself there!

MissAdventure Wed 17-Aug-22 23:11:25

The only dog owner we've ever had with a dog around here was my daughter!!

I do know, though, that it caused her to cry many a time, because she tried so hard, all the time to train "it" out of the dog.

I think it probably bothers people but they are afraid to speak to the owners. I know we are.

It just strikes me as strange, because the dog people must have houses or flats all around them.

I wonder what their neighbours think, or if it causes trouble.

There is one somewhere round here that barks all night.
All on one note.
Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof woof. Woof.
It's fine if I drop off quickly, but once I've heard it, it really aggravates me.
Perhaps the owners work all night?

HI, it does sound as though its been left too long on its own, either indoors out outside possibly in a kennel. If you were able to track down the address you could ask Council or RSPCA to check it out.

Lots of people here with yappy dogs on long leads that wrap round everybody s legs. They let them pee on your garden as they wander off up the road on their long lead. I rarely see a well behaved dog here. I do love a well trained dog but it's rare to see sadly.

When we first moved here - the builder let us have the keys before the sale was finalized, so we could get carpets etc. laid prior to moving in. One day I had to be there to await a delivery and realized that the dog (a big German shepherd)in the house behind ours barked non-stop. It lived outside during the day, the owners worked and I was ready to strangle it with my bare hands after 6 hours!
It got to the stage where I was considering pulling out of the sale, but DH reasoned that I was out myself quite a lot during the day, so we moved here.
About 6 months later, it’s tether snapped and it jumped the back hedge and was killed on the main road.
We had working spaniels and they are trained not to give tongue (bark) especially outdoors.

I think mine work in shifts. grin

Maybe. The one around here stops about midnight.

There is a bit of a similar thread under AIBU. I don't want to say much but we have one two doors down that yaps constantly. It's yapping when we get up and yapping when we go to bed. It never pauses for breath. If the owners are in the garden with it, they just shout louder so they can hear each other. They don't seem approachable. We don't know how they stand it.

I am really not saying this to start a bundle, but how do some not seem to hear their dogs barking?

They are all a fair enough distance away, but there must be at least 4 different dogs from different directions which bark almost incessantly.

As I say, its little more than an irritant to me, as I'm deaf far enough away, but how can owners put up with it?
