I don't think the owners can be unaware of it.

Yes, I had a neighbour whose dog hated being left and would bark the place down the rare times his retired owner went out without him, he was quiet when she was there.


Mind you I am not sure quite what complaining achieved in her case, I know some of the neighbours had complained but it wasn't practical to take the dog everywhere and I think the dog was too old to be trained to stop.

Dogs are apparently allowed to bark for 15 minuets continuously of each hour for 6 continuous hours every single day long term before it is considered a nuisancewworth investigating. If they nod off on hour 5 the cycle is broken and needs to start again. Councils don?t get involved without this evidence but if provided they and also proved on their investigation might request the owner got a behavioristetc for the dog. Perhaps sell up and move and offer to walk the dog during house viewings.
So we live at the dunstans end of Upland and have a dog but ours is not left a home in the day at all and when we are in he rarely barks. We do however sometimes have an issue with him hearing another dog bark which set him off, wondering if this could be the dog in question... who sets him off I mean.

There is a guy on the end of Hindmans Rd {where it crosses into Upland Road} often seen outside, either washing or fixing his car, who does own a dog I have witnessed barking. I too hear the repetitive barking, that seems to last for hours, however I have not heard the barking as of late. It's extremely irritating & do hope the owner has been confronted by now.


If you should continue to hear the barking, take a walk & try to follow the sound. Since the barking is "non-stop" it should give you enough time to trace it to the dog in question.

I heard that reporting a dog will show up when you try to sell your property (i.e. that you reported a noise issue) and it could be a deterrent for buyers. I hope you find who is responsible and they either train their dog to stop barking (it's possible), get a dog-sitter, or take their dog out with them more. Good luck.

Our neighbour reported to the council that our dog was barking "from 5am until 8pm". My partner and I both work different shifts so she's never often left on her own, plus we have a camera to watch her when we are out and have never seen her barking, so I have no idea where this complaint came from. The first we heard was someone from the council knocking on our door. Luckily we were able to show them as much camera footage as they wanted to prove she's never barked once. That definitely soured things considerably between our neighbour and us, as we believe her motive was to have the dog banned from outer building.


All this to say if you are comfortable, please speak to your neighbours regarding any dog issues before reporting to the council. It's not a nice surprise to come home from a 14 hour night shift and be woken by an official person accusing you of being a nuisance.

    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
