Hi gow, Stumbled upon your football forum about the barkingdog while searching for a support group or such like.
I cannot believe someone else is having more or less the same problem as us!
We have a neighbour with three dogs that run up and down the garden all day from 7am till 1am and it drives us insane. Only one of the dogs really barks , it barks without breathing, as someone said it must breath out of its arse. Its been going on for almost two years now. I tried approaching the neighbour, was really nice about it but she was verbally abusive and threatened me!
The dog is so bored , it never gets a walk or a play session. I reported it as you did via log sheets and the dog warden was willing to prosecute but we would have to go to court and give evidence. This woman set fire to her neighbours kitchen when he complained about her kids screaming in the garden all the time. (the kids dont play in the garden anymore must be too much poo for them to dodge)
Ironically i work in a library too! I have done for 20 years.
I have had several anxiety attacks with the non stop barking, making me really ill and affecting my personality.
I am glad you seem to be getting somewhere at last , you seem very nice to be feeding the poor dog, cant say i would have been that kind.
My problem dog is three doors down.
Would love to chat to you, would be nice to speak to someone who understands how dreadful it is. I am trying to not moan any more at work, think i am getting boring and sick of hearing myself going on. My husband is getting really worried about me too, its making me so depressed and miserable. Like you i hear it in my head, i think the dishwasher is the dog barking!
Please get in touch so we can chat, think it would be good for us both.
Best wishes
