A few times now, usually from about 3pm onwards until whenever next door's dog just constantly barks. It's not every day but a good few days out of the week. It's driving me insane!!! Who would you call about this??! I mean firstly I would speak to the neighbour but I'm a bit nervous to do that I have to admit!

Its a shame that they arent open to hearing the other side, I hope you can come up with a solution.

No I have been warned against doing that by a friend! I probably will post very little on there to be honest, I have heard it can be a bit of a minefield! Don't want to argue with neighbours ha! Just do what I do and spectate and anything said take with a pinch of salt :)

It happens a lot where you're living sorry to say :( Some neighbours are great about it as they haven't realised, but some well.......... Trust us to move right next door to it! Well, we seem to have no luck whatsoever so not surprising! We seem to have got the neighbour in your 'but some well....' category! Told us he hadn't been barking for that long and walked inside and shut the door! I was in shock! Only tried to help... P.S - I am back on FB!! :biggrin: Just log it on the FB page. I'm sure some of the do gooders on there will be only to pleased to help (or otherwise) ;)

We have just adopted a little dog and had no idea he was an incessant barker until our neighbour (who we are good friends with) let us know. Apparently an hour and half on day one of being left with our other dog who isnt a barker. To say we were mortified in an absolute understatement. We went to all our other neighbours and explained the situation and that we needed to know if they did hear them during the day could they let us know. We have one neighbour who is at home most of the time and he said he didnt hear them at all. We have been working really hard with the new addition to get him settled and calmed down, unfortunately his previous owners didnt train him, he was never walked (he is 3 now) and it appears he was beaten because he is petrified of men. As someone on the other side of the fence, I would be more than accepting to know the barking was going on and would do my best to address the situation as a neighbour. I totally understand there are people who don't know about the barking, so would never approach the situation with anything other than care and to let them know. Its nice to hear there are people that are welcoming of it, unfortunately ours wasn't. We have just moved in weeks ago and now there might be tension which I did not want at all. Awful to hear about the poor dog being beaten and treated like that!

I would definitely speak to the neighbour, they may not be aware. I've been unusually home today and mine keeps going outside and barking at trees (as you do) and I was hoping he doesn't normally do this (are you my neighbour lol). They may not be aware. It doesn't have to be a confrontational conversation, if you haven't met before you can even take them some biscuits as a hello and then it doesn't seem so bad! Good luck!
