HOW TO DEAL WITH NEIGHBORS BARKING DOG | STOP DOG BARKING AT NIGHT

The dog of the neighbor's house always keeps calling, which makes you sleep well. It is time to take action. The quickest and most effective way is usually to talk directly to the neighbors and discuss a solution together. If this is not effective, you can also get help from the relevant agencies. You can also try the dog whistle and other methods to see if you can use the props to calm the dog.

METHOD 1

TALK FACE TO FACE WITH NEIGHBORS

1. Personally talk to your neighbors. Many people take this kind of situation and take relatively tough measures directly. Instead of looking for the owner of the dog, they will talk to each other and tell the other person. Unless your relationship with the dog owner is inherently poor, otherwise speaking, it is the easiest and most effective way to talk. You can naturally mention this question the next time you meet with the other person, or you can leave a note for the other party and talk about it for a while.

At this time, your attitude should be friendly and respect each other, but at the same time, the tone must be firm. 

Don't move to threaten to sue others, although the final resort to the law is also a way, but at the beginning it is best to choose to solve the problem through coordination.

First assume that the neighbors are not aware of the problem of a dog screaming. You can say this: "I just want to hear from you, the dog's night call can actually be heard, especially in the bedroom, the sound is very obvious."

Explain that dog barking can have a negative impact on your life, such as affecting sleep, attention, etc., and then you are willing to work with another party to find a solution.

Thanks to the neighbors for listening to you, thank you in advance for your willingness to work hard to solve this problem. Most reasonable people will do their best to solve the problem.

2. Provide some practical advice for the other party. It is also possible that the neighbors also know that the barking will affect the people around them, but they don’t know how to stop the dog from barking. If you know where the problem is, you can give him a suggestion. 

This is especially helpful if you raise your own dog. These reasons often cause the dog to keep calling.If dogs are left outside, they usually bark because they are bored, especially the breeds such as German shepherd and Bulldog, as well as Doberman and Rottweiler. 

For this kind of problem, it is recommended that the dog owner take more walks, exercise, and consume energy. Some dogs have sex and are nervous. Seeing anything goes through them.

 For this dog, further tame training is very helpful. You can provide the contact information of the dog training institution or trainer you know to the neighbors.

If the dog feels too cold or too hot, it will keep on calling. 

Many people mistakenly think that the fur on the dog can keep warm in any weather, but it is not. Only varieties such as Husky are not afraid of cold. If you see a neighbor's dog tremble on a cold day, or if you are in love on a hot day, be sure to let the neighbors know that it is likely that the dog bark is uncomfortable.

3. Try to implement practical solutions. Instead of passively waiting for the neighbors to take action, it is better to come up with concrete solutions. Here are some basic solutions that you can adjust to.

Discuss whether the neighbors are willing to reduce the time to put the dog on the outdoor or on the terrace, such as keeping the dog indoors between 10 pm and 7 am.

If the dog stays outdoors or on the balcony during the day, it will stop, so let's see if the neighbor can give the dog a dog house in the yard or on the balcony. Remember to discuss a specific dog house completion date.

If the dog does have behavioral problems, the dog owner agrees that the the problem needs to be corrected, and see if the other party is willing to set a specific day to take the dog to the training class.

4.  Get support from other neighbors. If the other party completely ignores your request, or is unwilling to take any action even after you politely ask a question, you can act in conjunction with other neighbors. Talk to other residents in the neighborhood to see if they are also suffering from it. 

Next, I will talk to the owner of the dog collectively. This time, the other party is likely to take it seriously.If you don't want to appear that you are uniting against your neighbors, you can also suggest that other neighbors go to the dog owner to talk, so that the other party does not think you are a partner bullying.

The best situation is that everyone will discuss the solution together and finally happy. However, if the dog owner does not buy it, the situation has not been improved; you can change the strategy and resort to the relevant institutions. 

METHOD 2

LEGAL RECOURSE

1. Study local and noise related laws. Check the local noise and dog-related laws and regulations online and there are regulations and terms for disturbing people in many places. It may also mention that the neighbor ignores the request.

Sometimes the relevant provisions of the neighborhood dispute will also mention the problem of disturbing the people.

 Look at the local precedent for a similar situation.You can share your findings with your neighbors as a final negotiation. If this is useless, then go directly to the relevant department.

2. Call the relevant agencies to complain about noise disturbances, such as police stations. You can also submit a written complaint report. The relevant staff will negotiate with the neighbors. Generally they will also tell you to solve the result. If there is no improvement, continue to call in a few days.

When submitting a complaint, ask if you can file an anonymous complaint. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to be anonymous. The other person obviously knows that you are complaining about the other party, because you have had several confrontations before.

 However, if the problem of disturbing people involves more than one person, then maintaining anonymity can reduce the possibility of retaliation.

Some agencies will accept anonymous complaints, but others will not accept them directly, and will ask for your personal information, but will keep confidential to your neighbors. You can get to know the situation before you complain.

3. You can also complain to animal protection organizations about animal cruelty. If you think that the neighbor's dog is called this way because the neighbors are not looking after the dog, or even snoring, you can organize a complaint with the relevant agency or animal control center.

 If the neighbor is really bad for the dog, the dog may be taken away. However, such institutions generally do not confiscate dogs, but try to solve the problem by educating the owner.

If the weather is very hot or cold, the other party still keeps the dog outside the door or throws it on the open-air balcony, which constitutes the reason for the complaint.

If the dog looks hungry or has a serious lack of water at first glance, you can also make a complaint.

4. Find other neighbors and ask them to also complain to the owner. If the relevant agencies get multiple complaints about the same issue, they will take action more quickly. At this time, it is true that many people are power, so try to join other neighbors to take action.

5. Go to the local court to tell your neighbor. If a complaint is made, and the situation has not improved after the relevant personnel have taken action, then resort to the law. First study the local laws and regulations, and prosecute on the grounds of noise disturbance.

 If you win, the other party must lose money. You can do the following things before you appeal.Try to negotiate with your neighbors so that you can prove to the judge that you really try to settle with each other.Confirm the claim amount. A lawyer can also help you at this time.Collect witness testimony and evidence, such as photos, recordings, etc.

METHOD 3

TRY USING TOOLS LIKE DOG WHISTLE

1. Use the dog whistle to calm the dog down. There is controversy about the effectiveness of this tool, but many people have achieved good results. The dog whistle can sound a sound that the dog can hear but is inaudible, and the neighbor does not know that you are using the dog whistle.

 Every time the dog is arrogant, you whistle. Maybe try it a few times at first, but if it works, the dog will eventually associate the screaming behavior with this unpleasant sound for them, forming a conditioned reflex, and will not yell for a long time. 

2. A sonar training system is used. This is more advanced technology, but the principle is the same as the dog whistle. Like a dog whistle, the results of sonar equipment are not guaranteed to be effective, may be effective for some dogs, and have no effect on some dogs. If you are already poor, you may want to consider this approach, but it is expensive.

3. Try to block the dog's sight. If the dog calls every time he sees someone or something goes by, think of ways to prevent it from seeing the activity here. If the residence has a yard, the fence is raised higher to block the dog's view. If your own pet is always in the yard or on the balcony, blocking the dog's sight can solve the problem.

Try to think about the problem from the perspective of the dog. See if there are often things that cause dog barking nearby, such as rabbits, squirrels, other dogs, and then think about ways to get these animals out of here.

Hint,If the neighbor is just a tenant, contact the landlord directly.Don't blame things on the dog's head. If you blame it, you don't have to train the owner of the dog. In this case, the dog is also a victim.

No matter what the situation, you should not hurt the neighbor's dog, or you must bear the corresponding legal consequences.
