I am at my wits end, but my girlfriend thinks that somebody on here will be able to think of a perfectly acceptable solution. Basically, our upstairs neighbour has got a dog which they spend very little time with. It howls all day when they are not home and howls all night when they are away for the weekend, which is most weekends. We've had a few words with the neighbours, but it hasn't made any difference to the dog. It is driving my girlfriend insane because she is a light sleeper and spends the whole night awake, waiting for the dog to howl itself to sleep. It annoys her during the days when she is home. Personally speaking, the noise doesn't bother me. But if it bothers my girlfriend, it ends up bothering me (if you know what I mean). Has anybody got any humane suggestions? (or inhumane, according to my girlfriend) |

Registered 15 years ago@foreverafternothing. Even I have a problem with that. But my girlfriend likes that suggestion. Watch this space.
@n@. Magic? Use magic? Are you having a little sport with us? Our suffering is real, can we please have serious suggestions?
Use magic, indeed. -

Registered 17 years agoSomeone apparently called the Landlord of my next door Neighbours because their dog barks alot (at cats/ moving things). It's stopped since then.
It didnt really bother me to be honest but it's nicer now. -
Well I don't know what to suggest. Using magic would be the best bet but perhaps getting some advice on noise nuisance stuff? -

Registered 15 years ago@Pink. Unfortunately our neighbours aren't tenants. We've looked into stuff like that and apparently we are within our rights to call the police, but we'd like to do something which doesn't point the finger squarely at us. Since we are the only neighbours that could conceivably have a problem with that howling. -

Registered 14 years agothe best bet is probably to check the website for your local council. There should be a list of instructions for reporting noises. Councils are generally able to intervene with household noise (loud music/tv's), alarms, roadworks and dogs among other things.
How this gets handled can vary from council to council, but the official government guidelines can be found here. -

Because they're morons. Morons who should be shaved, sterilised and destroyed. -

Registered 17 years agoThere are devices you can get that will emit an ultrasonic noise when a dog barks or howls, inaudible to humans but dogs hate it. I looked into them before when we had a similar issue with the neighbour's dog. In theory it will learn not to make any noise lest it gets its ears blasted off with high pitch squeals -
Maybe you can reason with it? -

sounds simple enough. Now we just need to engineer a canine immunodeficiency virus, infect the dog, wait 15-20 years and the job's a good 'un. -

Freddie Mercury, then.
Shit, that means bringing him back from the dead. That's even more difficult. -
