SuB totally agree about rescue dogs. my little girl until 2 years ago
Aww she looks fun, looks like she well and truly controls that Sofa though! heh
What time was this mate? and was it consistent barking?
If it's just one or two barks and it's just bad timing, it's not really fair to have a go about it, dogs need to let off *some* steam mate. I assume your windows are open for you to hear this that it bothers you so badly?
You seem very sensitive to outside noise it must be said?
Maybe it's worth just going and talking to the person involved? I know if someone had an issue with our boys' noise I'd rather they came had a chat with me, and let me know what times to avoid, instead of getting externals involved unnecessarily.
When our boys play-fight it sounds like a dog fighting pit, Timmy the rescue has a really deep, visceral grunting growl for his play voice and it sounds horrendous, we honestly though he was savaging the other two at first but it's just his voice, he talks to us like that as well. It sounds super aggressive but he's such a baby, it's just the noise he makes is all. We do our best to keep it down at sensitive times of day, but when we get home from work they need a mad 30 minutes of what we've called 'zoomies' where they just go nuts, but after that we don't allow it. (If you want to know what zoomies are, YouTube for whippet/greyhound zoomies it's great.)
Around 7:30 Timmy has another 'zoomy' session where he just uncontrollably starts flidding, jumping around and just needs to burn off some buzz, it's hilarious to watch but can be very destructive in the wrong room... we obviously make sure this happens indoors to begin with because otherwise it would annoy people lol.
I'd honestly just try and talk to the people who's pets are annoying you, make compromises, e.g. can the Dog be out at different times to burn off it's energy instead of when you're likely to be trying to go to sleep (even if it's slightly later, which would probably not wake you up etc).
Edit: Obviously if they're just leaving the dog all the time as you mentioned before, most of the above does not apply... I'm just trying to give you a loving pet owner's perspective.
It was only half a dozen which seems like you can't complain about but the issue is the patio doors are left open from at least 5pm until what midnight? So the dog is literally every two minutes in out, in out going nuts. There is no time were its just quiet.
We did go round originally and said look I have to work from home on occassions and whilst we can't say anything about through the day we'd appreciate it if you kept it down at night. She was fine, it went silent for two weeks...like completely silent and I wonder if it had a toilet inside? But went back to it so I got in touch with the council who agreed with it all and said we'll just send a letter and that usually fixes it. As soon as she got it she came round and we know she's been asking all the neighbours if it was them.
Anyway it went silent again for exactly two weeks but it's been going mad for like two months now.
I don't have a problem with the dog having a bark, but every few minutes for 7 hours straight is taking the piss. Oh and as for weekend, lets call it 12 hours.
Edit: No trust me, I close all windows at the back of the house but it makes no difference.

Thats what I'd say mate but there is no wee and crap time for it, as I said the patio doors are left open so it can go when it wants. When I go to bed I'm fuming because its been out 6-7 hours just whilst I've been home so by 11/12 it should be in. Scrap that, it shouldn't be allowed out just to bark past 7/8.
What do I say to her now? We already did once, she ignored it so the council wrote to her and she ignored that and their help. So now I think sod it, if you get a £100 fine or whatever it is, tough shit.
Edit: My Dads offered to get me some ear plugs so I said yeah okay but why should I have to wear them? We've lived on a quiet street for 21 years and then she comes into rented accomodation where she shouldn't even have pets really and causes noise. So do I have to listen to it now until either I move out or the dog sadly dies?
All we ask is can she keep it in at night.
I think she actually waits now until I've finished training outside then lets it out, thats great but can she not bring it in two hours later for the night.

Well she claimed its a pain in the arse and she was going to muzzle it (I didn't want it muzzling, unless it's dangerous then I don't agree with it, I wouldn't like to be muzzled) but then said she as trying a few different things out there like the whistles or something. But it's gone worse again since we spoke to her, it just seems like whatever, its easier if your being a shit in the garden than in the house.
She should get rid of it.

Hmm, doesn't sound like she's trying *that* hard to me. If she's home all day, there's literally no excuse for a misbehaving/noisy/bored dog. Walk it more, play with it more, wear it out, training shouldn't stop if you never leave the damn thing.
Sounds like the dog should be given to someone more responsible.
I dare you to take it on Shaun

I just don't know what to do, I don't want her to get a fine or anything, but she's just ignoring the situation now which is just taking the piss really. Thats it, she's at home all day so there is a full day for it to play out but come on, when everyone gets home from work they want peace, especially late at night. Saturday I just had the Beats on my head so I couldn't hear it, they weren't even plugged into anything either haha.
Just makes me get angry at the dog but really its not the dog, it's just the stupid woman.
I wouldn't get a Jack Russell, they all seem to be little shits.
I had a jack Russel when I was a kid and they are actually quite loyal and well behaved, they just need to be taken care of properly.
In all honesty you should just make it so that she gets fined, as SuB said, if she is home all day, there is absolutely no reason as to why the dogs arent behaving. Maybe the fine will make her get more serious...
I was going to suggest you get a nice set of speakers and enjoy your games, movies and music etc etc at their best. BUT that would just be plain immature.

Hopefully will get some peace, guarantee if a fine comes along it'll be Christmas time though and then I'll feel bad.
im not sure how old the dog is mate but it did not look to old or to young
also had the issue again to night with the dog in my garden but also had her screaming and shouting for it at 9pm which must of gone on for about half an hour before it stopped (im not sure if the dog came back or if she just gave up tho).
the dog was also barking for a good half an hour at 8pm which pissed me off.
i do feel sorry for the dog as there is three dogs and from ive seen and been told this dog is the only one that gets locked outside all day and most of the night so i guess it can not be trusted to be left inside while they are all out at work and school. im guessing it can not be nice for the to 1 be locked outside on its while it mates are inside warm and have bed to sleep on 2 the two dogs inside have company and this boxer dog has no company at all

This is pretty shit if that's the case...
Timmy ate through our kitchen door while we were at work yesterday.. >.< not a happy bunny...
I still wouldn't leave him outdoors if I wasn't at home, too many fears for someone to come and take him and it's bloody cruel!
