Thanks for your varied responses. I should stress that i like dogs and am quite happy for them to bark a bit, and i'm very tolerant of neighbour noise. However i think Paul K is referring to different dogs! The dogs i hear do yap for up to 3 hours at a time, (i have no reason to lie about anything), and if they are yapping at foxes and cats there must literally be thousands of foxes and cats in their garden! The reason i was concerned for the dogs is that they sound as if they are barking to be let in/ fed/ given attention, and it sounds harrowing. Another of my neighbours is also very distressed about the dogs and wants to contact the RSPCA. My intention in posting this originally was to see what advice people may have, and to see if anyone knew the owner- perhaps there is a good reason for it, the owner may be elderly or ill, unable to take the dogs out, etc. As i said originally i don't want to stir up slander as it may be that this person needs help looking after their dogs.

Hi, for the past month there have been dogs yapping at the top end of Friern Road for several hours every evening, the noise seems to be coming from the back garden of one of the houses between 237-245. I don't want to generate slander but am concerned for the dogs, and it is really distressing to listen to constant yapping for 3 hours at a time. Any tips would be appreciated, such as if you know who the owner is, or if there is a really good reason why they leave their dogs out to yap for hours... Many thanks.
