Bad neighbor!
 

Hi all
I have a neighbor who has several dogs. The dogs bark all the time, even in the middle of the night. This is of course very disturbing. Another thing is, the dog poop. They don't clean this right away and it's there for us to see. This is really disgusting. Please tell me what to do. Any body has had this problem and if yes, how you deal with it. It doesn't help to talk to them. I have tried. They don't even take the dogs out. They are always in the garden. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!

Talk to your neighbour about it if you have not already tried that. They may not be remotely interested in doing anything about though. In fact they may wonder what is wrong with you as they probably can't hear.... filtered it out like all the other noise. The decibels that seem to be tolerated here are deafening.

We used to hear everything as neighbours have dogs, chickens, ducks, turkeys etc.
So tuned in to the dogs have we become that we know when someone is walking past a house about 1km away.
Our local neighbours complain to us about the noise " other dogs "make. they cleary never hear theirs.

Re: Bad neighbor!
 

One of my neighbours took in a stray dog and then worried about the noise it was making so chatted to those nearby and they all shrugged their shoulders and said "dogs bark".

I have always said that the Spanish must have an extra gene in their make up that enables them to hold a conversation with someone at the opposite end of a noisy crowded bar, whilst us mere mortals can't hear a word spoken by a companion standing two feet away.:rofl:

I would just like to apologise for the comment made by "TheLostPhotographer"
Take no notice of him, he can't help being a bit of a pratt.

About the dogs...this is Spain, dogs bark and the Spanish just don't hear them, you will get used to it!

Re: Bad neighbor!
 

My neighbor isn't Spanish. They are from London. That's the problem. Have been living here for 5-6 years and have had no problems with Spanish people. LOL! Maybe that guy is my neighbor!! hehehe.

Nick I am sorry to take this thread off topic but please use the Contact Us link and let me know a new username you wish to change your current one too. Honestly you are getting to get inundated with spam from spam bots otherwise.

Re: Bad neighbor!
 

You might be a little more polite than myself, but that is pretty much what I said.

I was censored for no good reason :thumbdown:

Re: Bad neighbor!
 

It was censored for a very good reason, it broke the site rules.

Do it again and you won't be with us for much longer.

If you want to discuss it further please PM as per site rules.

I live in a neighborhood where many residents have pets, such as dogs, and I don't hear barking of night. I believe this man has the misfortune to have as a neighbor to a bad people, but that may also be applicable to the UK or any other country. And of my country land, I say exactly the same

The rest are prejudices yours

Re: Bad neighbor!
 

Noisy dogs certainly can be a problem in the UK, though in my experience nothing like as common as in Spain where it is much more common practice for large, fearsome noisy dogs to be used to guard properties.

Although it is not always a simple, speedy process, in the UK the authorities will act to put an end to the problem, once it is clearly proven.

I have not heard of similar preventative action being common practice in Spain, if it happens at all, though others may have more information on this ?
