woodga 170 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 if your in a council house you could have issues even if your in a private house the envioroment department could be called in to take action against you ,bettet to try and get on with your neigbours or more shit could come of it ie when your in late from lamping ect, if your dogs are noisy its up to you to have them quiet even if it means getting a dog sitter while your out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artic 595 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Neighbours could gather a petition against you, but i wouldnt worry as yet. 6PM till 10AM in my opinion is a little long for dogs to be left in the kennels no matter how long their run is. Are you sure this is your first complaint? Have your dogs barked before whilst you have been there? What have you done to stop this? Have you apologised to your neighbours, and explained to them why you think the dogs were barking, they might not be educated about dog playing, as it will sound to others as as a dog fight. The list is endless, and dogs are a huge responsability. Best of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest flapper Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 my neighbours are great, (and the misses) they quite often open the curtains in the mornings and see a dead rabbit or other things hanging off my washing line from a nights lamping, 6pm til 10 isnt that long mate once in a blue moon anyway. feck the nosie swines Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bradley 0 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 If they keep barking the council will make you get rid of them if they keep getting complaints iv just got a petsafe anti barking collar off of a member on here as the bitch next door to me keeps fecking moaning about my boys young lurcher barking at HER fecking cat This is how it is. Regardless of how long your dogs are shut away or the condition of your dogs this is not the complaint.The complaint is the barking. No matter if your dogs are playing or communicating with each other if the noise goes on continuous at an unsociable hour it is a problem. The council will inform the enviromental health on grounds of noise pollution they will then set up a sound meter in the house of the person whom made the complaint once they have a reading if it is above a certain level you will get one official warning letter after that you will end up in court. The best thing you can do is keep your dogs quiet at night it will save you a lot of hastle in the long run trust me ive been through the same thing GOOD LUCK MATE.

If its only when you go out is the prob, just stick them in one room. It might be better to do that, than loose some of your dogs if the [counsel] get involved ??

For certain there will be some mess to clean up when he gets back but still better than risking loosing the dogs in my opinion. If a complaint does go to Environmental Health they will measure the noise and ask the person to keep a diary. I don't know what point they will contact you - either before or after this point. I presume they will have to do it first to be fair to you and to make sure you are aware there is a problem. The diary will be a list of times the neighbours are disturbed by your barking. If you only go out once in a blue moon can't see there been much for them to go on but if it is a re-occurring problem then you will have to take steps to control it. Try one of the bark control units that go on the wall and will work for all the dogs and not just one. Hope you solve the matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
