We have had a complaint from our neighbours that our dogs are barking in the garden, the
neighbours have a small dog and we have 2 dogs, we have put up a 1.5 mtr reed fencing
which is fixed to a wire lower fence so the dogs would stop jumping up at the fence( they
have never jumped over the fence into the neighbours garden) the only time the dogs bark
in the garden is when someone is about( like dogs do) when we come home from work
friday they have told our 11 year old son that the dogs bark all day and they never shut up in
the garden which is not true our other neighbour whose house adjoins ours has not
complained?? but this neighbour whose house is about 40 feet away has, (we are end
terrace facing south there house is facing east big garden between us)
today sunday my wife and a few friends were sitting in the garden and said neighbour
returns with his dog, my dogs obviously run over to the fence when i call them back so they
come, so the neighbour then decides to pick his dog up above the fence so my dogs can see
it and obviously my dogs now try and jump up at the fence,,
now he reckons I should put a proper fence up to stop them but my wife has said no way if
they want a fence they can put it up as he has antagonised our dogs and is proberbly doing it
when we aint looking or around ( by the way dogs are never outside when we are not home)
does anyone know where we stand on this situation please help
( i think they have had it in for us since we moved in 6 months ago and thats prob why last
peeps moved so quick)
[ Writing]
Now imagine you are this mans neighbour, you have talked to the owners of the
dogs many times before but they simply wont do anything about their barking and
jumping over the fence. Write a note of complaint and threaten them with taking the
matter further if they dont solve the problem.
