Hi,


For the last week or so there has been a dog howling in one of the gardens in this area. It did not happen at the weekend, starts about 7.15am and goes on for a few hours sometimes. Does anyone know who owns it? I asume it's someone shutting it outside and going off to work as it is very loud. The council advise having a quiet word with the owner. Before I traverse the fences to find it I thought I'd ask on here if anyone has any further information.


Thanks

If the dog is in distress you should contact the RSPCA. They might be able to advise you better and would probably come and take a look as well. A neglected dog left outside in all weather whilst to owner's out all day at work is cruel. They shouldn't have a dog if the poor creature is left on its own for most part of the day.


Here are the details of the local office:

RSPCA London South East Branch

I once phoned the RSPCA in a similar situation, including a day when the poor dog was outside in a thunderstorm and appeared to be terrified, and they weren't interested and told me to contact the council :(

A dog that howls for hours at a time is most definitely not fine- it is akin to a person shouting 'help,help' for hours at a time. Some dogs can suffer very badly from separation anxiety and simply cannot cope when their owners go off to work for the day. It could be that the owners are not aware.


The dog is probably inside the house- howling is a sound that carries easily.


The only other thought is that if this is an intact male dog it could be that there is a bitch in season. Male dogs can get incredibly worked up at any whiff of scent nearby (the scent of an in-season bitch carries for 5 miles)and howling is then a signal of frustration. If this is the case, once the season is oveer the howling will stop.

apologies, by fine I meant i didn't think the dog was "poorly mistreated/starved/dying etc". I suppose I didn't consider it was psychologically poorly.


my appeal on here was for any clues of where the dog owners might live. i can not see it anywhere, and as you say the noise carries a lot, so is hard to place. any further info would be appreciated, if only for the dog's sanity (rather than my own).

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
