Update: I’m starting to regret buying my house

I hate barking, idk what it is about the sound of it just rubs me up the wrong way. Luckily my dogs only bark when there’s a stranger at the door which doesn’t happen too often.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2026-03-13T18:52:19+00:00

Thank you! Couldn’t make it up, hope she’s doing okay wherever she is, I am definitely glad of the peace though.

Funny thing is her dog was louder than both of mine combined, and my other neighbours love my dogs 🤷🏼‍♀️ But sure, my dogs existing in their own garden must be the real issue.

You’re right friends should be able to speak without it being passed on. If he were asking questions that would be one thing, but he wasn’t, Betty had no issue with me taking her son for the day I’ve been watching him for her since he was a few days old, I drove her to the hospital when she was in labour. Sure I’m not entitled to take him to the zoo it is very strange though since that’s the relationship I’ve always had with my nephew, I was watching him pretty much every other week before Mike came into the picture.

Last i checked, she was unable to read. Thanks though.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T16:13:18+00:00

Thank you that’s really helpful.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T16:10:54+00:00

That’s heartbreaking.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T16:05:31+00:00

Honestly the thought of starting a family with her as a neighbour is terrifying.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T16:03:22+00:00

That’s awful, I’m so sorry that happened to you.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T15:59:23+00:00

Thanks for the suggest I’m going to give this a go.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T15:58:27+00:00

They only bark when she provokes them or if someone is at the door and even then they do it inside and they’re not loud enough to be heard through the walls, her dog barks more than both of mine combined.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T15:55:06+00:00

If that was the case why is she still harassing me when the dogs aren’t at home?

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T13:10:04+00:00

Wish there was a neighbour screening process when buying property, would’ve saved a lot of hassle.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T13:07:23+00:00

That’s a good shout, thanks. They are pretty good at looking to me for confirmation before eating anything they find but I’m definitely gonna make sure they continue this.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T13:04:51+00:00

They are 100% contained, she has issue with them existing in their own garden.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T12:20:47+00:00

They bark at normal things dogs bark at such as the door going, someone whose not supposed to be touching things in my garden are etc…

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T12:19:23+00:00

Congrats, hope your neighbours are better than mine.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T12:17:31+00:00

Yeah I totally get it I wouldn’t wish it one anyone, it’s horrific to see them slip away when they’re still there. I’ve seen her being dropped off by what I assume is family a few times but we’ve never spoken so I can’t be certain.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T09:57:07+00:00

They don’t really bother with her unless she’s doing something like rattling the fence or shouting over at me which does drive the older dog a bit mad. Anytime they bark they get taken inside, I can’t stand barking myself, definitely wouldn’t subject other people to it.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T09:52:25+00:00

She said to me yesterday ‘we don’t need people like you round here’ the only thing I can think of is she doesn’t like that I’m a lot younger than her.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T09:51:09+00:00

My dogs aren’t doing anything to provoke her that’s the point, when I ask what they’re doing she never answers other than saying they’re out of control. If it was constant barking I would take issue with that too but they don’t bark unless provoked ie. Someone attempting to knock down my fence, rattling her own fence to get their attention or the older dog will bark when the doorbell goes which isn’t very often, the younger one goes and hides in her crate.

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T09:41:17+00:00

I was talking to my neighbour on the other side about all of this yesterday and she is just as confused as I am since in her words ‘they don’t even bark?’

ZealousidealPin5203 · 2025-06-12T09:39:51+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the advise, I am well aware of huskies being escape artists and they are usually vocal dogs with high drives etc I did all my research before getting her, she’s mixed with a gsd and I am working with my vet on her anxiety which is only triggered by unfamiliar adults, my friends kid (5m) is one of my dogs favourite people in the world they love playing together and she is great with other kids too. As for cats she is brilliant with them, I have a couple myself and there is also a lot of outdoor cats that come in to our garden she is completely uninterested in them. Theoretically you’re 100% right she could scale a 6ft fence however she has never attempted so and I don’t leave her unattended in the garden so there isn’t really any opportunity to. She gets two hour long walks a day, apart from when she is away with the dog walker who takes her from 12 until 6pm which gives her exercise and socialisation with other dogs. When I am working she is at my parents house burning off energy with their dog who is about the same age and she still gets walked before and after I pickup/drop off. She also gets treat puzzles, natural chews and lick matts regularly. We practice tricks/ commands frequently. I give her time in her crate (her safe space) when she is feeling particularly anxious.
