Hi All - just posted this on another thread, but thought it may be helpful for this thread too.. No this is not the same dog - Dog on Overhill was a police rescue dog (trained to bark) and its new owners had no idea it was barking when they went out as it loves being outside more than inside and were horrified when I told them how annoyed were all were last year, but I only worked out who they were a week ago. they had no idea there was a thread going last year about it and were mortified, but lovely, when I spoke to them, they did have a behaviourist working with the dog to help them adjust it as they were trying to stop it barking when it went out in the morning, but had no idea of the other spurts during the day, so maybe we should've just knocked on their door last year and saved ourselves all that stress? Anyway we do have a new problem as there is now a quieter, presumably smaller dog that barks in the mornings and from about 5 at night and that seems to set the others off. I can hear it yapping away and then I can hear the other dogs barking back at it.i used to have dogs and if there is another one already barking, it is near impossible to stop the others from saying hello as well, so if we want it to stop we need to let the owners know of the yappy one know as well. It sounds to me like it may be in a backyard nearer to the cemetary on Overhill/Underhill. Anyway if you do have problems with the louder dog - owners are totally approachable and were gobsmacked that it had been so bad when they were out, they are home on and off during the day, so let them know as they aren't on the Forum and will absolutely fix it...the council was nice but useless when I contacted them...and if anyone can identify the smaller dog perhaps someone can have a friendly chat or note so that doesn't go on for a months as well? I know I would be horrified if my animal was causing so many people distress - so perhaps if someone does live very close to the smaller dog you could just have a friendly chat - when I approached owners of the loud dog they were really good and had no idea - perhaps someone could do same with the one that seems to be instigating them all again now??
