I am listening to a German Shepard barking at the moment and it is constant. It is my neighbor’s dog and as they both do shift work the dog is left on its own a lot. When they moved in they asked me if it barked and I said no .They commented that it used to where they used to live and that they trained it with some kind of electrical collar. I had never heard of such a device but left it at that. Now that their hours have increased the dog is barking constantly. It does not bark when they are home leading me to think it is just lonely. It is never brought for walks. If he does bark when they are there, they just knock on the window and he stops. I have tried this but it works sometimes not all. I really don’t mind him barking during the day. I like dogs. But it’s at 6am in the morning and constant for about 3 hours. I have already moved my babies out of their back room because it was waking them up so any suggestions? If I tell the neighbours what could they do as they are not there? And I don’t really want an electrical collar used on the dog as I don’t agree with it. I know they asked me to tell them if he was barking but I really don’t know what they could do. Has anybody any experience of this and solved it?
the past few days i have put my washing on the line a neighbour of mine has had bonfires going, i seem to think there is a time restriction on them ...do you know?
I have had some god awful neighbours in the past. Seriously noisey and /or argumentative and have I seen myself kicking front doors in at times!
Thankfully I never did.
My current neighbours are having problmes with their marriage. Which we are privy to some evenings. The 'wife' sees me out in the garden and makes a point of telling me all about her trouble and woes.
But, the worst thing about this particular family is how incredibly nosey they are. They have a reputation for spreading rumours and half a ton of Cock-A-Doo-Dee about other neighbours and friends of theirs.
The woman of the household has been nicknamed News of The World. I myself refer to her as curtain twitcher of the year.
She tells me things about people which have clewrly been said to her in confidence and am careful to keep her at a polite distance, and give only so much of myself. Enough to be socialble, but not enough to become the latest news.
Thankfully, living in a semi-detacthed house we have just the one set of neighbours to deal with.
I have had some fantatstic neighbours in the past, and realise even more just how lucky I was at the time!
