This really is one of my 'pet' hates and has been a thing that has annoyed me for many years.
Its barking dogs.
For many years the small estate I live on was very quiet, which was perfect as I am a shift worker and often have to sleep during the day.
Last year more houses were built behind us, and these houses back right on to my back garden. Now I have no problem with this, but I do have a problem with these folks when they bring their uncontrolled dogs with them.
Directly behind me there are 2 houses with a dog in each. Its not uncommon for these dogs to bark all day - and I am not exaggerating here. I mean all day. And often they bark until very late at night as well.
When trying to sleep during the day this is a real pain. The occupants of the house seem to be out all day and I was wondering if I could report this noise?
After all, if I was playing music late at night I'd get pulled about it, but are dogs allowed to bark all day and night with no comeback?
Is there any point in reporting it to my local council?
