Literally the top reason of moving here was the no dogs policy. On complaint, they told me - go ahead and move! I would if I could but do not have the means - and if I did - I also feel there is no where to go. Seems every block around here now has at least one problem barker. I have spent most of career working at home and this is a problem.<br /><br />Same problem in a couple of houses I stayed in in the suburbs recently.<br /><br />I am listening now as the dog is running around on top of my head - three apartments in a row on top of me now have dogs.<br /><br />Barking? Yes - but not as bad as I've had it in the past. That said - I have one room that has gone to the unusable side because it's on the back alley side where I constantly here a barker.<br /><br />Oh, how nice - upstairs owners just thumped a ball on the ceiling.<br /><br />If you are having a dog - take it for walks - 5-6 miles per day. If you can't don't have a dog.<br /><br />If you are going to be out - leave music on - classical - for the dog. Dogs do have much better taste in music that 80% of humans and they don't like rap either. They bark at the passing loud rap music cars - not quite as loudly as I do.<br /><br />Dogtards - what I think of the humans who get small dogs they seemed annoyed by since they have apartment building limitations on breeds. At least that gives me something to laugh about to counter the annoyance.<br /><br />Any of these people who just got dogs here? I would not have given any of them permits. Lazy - just carry the dog to the potty patch of lawn in front of the building. Barely walk the dogs.

The barking and biting epidemic degrades property values. You would think HOA's landlords,and realtors would do something about that. The love of dogs exceeds the love of money in many cases, I suppose.<br /><br />I rent a nice suburban home. On the small side, but nice. Currently, I have no immediate neighbors using their dogs as weapons (there are a few in the larger neighborhood, though). I *would* buy the home, except that I know that, Murphy's Law being what it is, I'm going to wind up next door or across the street from the Hound From Hell in short order. As a renter, I have an easy escape. <br /><br />Thanks for writing.Animal Uncontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353756918671252887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-2145835488908933112015-11-26T22:58:03.584-08:002015-11-26T22:58:03.584-08:00This is why we live in an apartment, not a house, ...This is why we live in an apartment, not a house, even though we could, and we do need more space. At least here, any barking- and I mean ANY barking- and they evict the dog, and if that dog won't go, they kick everyone out. And it doesn't take 100 warnings either, its GREAT. <br />Oh, there are plenty of dogs, but I don't even know where they live because I never hear them, and only see them on leashed walks.<br /><br />We made this choice because of owning a home that had a fantastic yard we never once used in the 7years we lived there. It sounded just like being at the dog pound. I had a neighbor who was an animal, wife, and child abuser, that would use his (poor abused dog) to purposely torment us day and night. The other neighbors were just typical dog worshipping fools of the "dogs bark, too bad" variety.<br /><br />I really lost sanity over this. Non stop barking you cannot escape is a special kind of hell. and no one gets it until they have to live with it. The number of cop calls, and everything else, we tried legally, with no relief. I said never again. I started to catch the dogs when they got loose (which was all the time) and rehome them far far away. That got us temporary breaks, until asshole abuser brought another victim home. I must have rehomed 10 of that monsters dogs, after he starved on to death and no one would do anything about it because it was locked in the garage and they couldn't see it. (again- pit lovers are the dogs worst enemies).<br /><br />After this stretch in hell, I said if this happens again, its xylitol treats for all offenders, and zero complaints to anyone. Since we don't want to be criminals, we decided to find an apartment/condo that is very strict instead. BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS! I would love to own another home, but every neighborhood is so loud I just cant do it. <br /><br />Dog owners must control their damn mutts. The attacks are insane, but the daily terrorism and abuse of non stop barking is as serious of an issue in its own right.Pit Dispatchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-50828495218531717202015-10-23T01:35:28.382-07:002015-10-23T01:35:28.382-07:00Around here they actively protect dogs and their o...Around here they actively protect dogs and their owners. Start pushing to get someone to shut their dog up, you'll get a visit from and angry deputy accusing you of harassment and threatening to arrest you on felony charges. It's insane.

Next time the mutts come snarling down the road at one of us we're calling 911. As much as I despise their behavior it is 100% enabled by the people who are supposed to be upholding the law. <br />Yeah guess what. Mr Dog Catcher has a boss. I've been on the phone with our county commissioner and manager. We've spoken to a lawyer. Things are about to get real rough. <br />We sent a nasty text to the silent husband and told him that we'd contacted AC and called the police on them. He pretended he didn't know there was even a problem. Unless she's wearing 4-5 black cow hides across her backside and keeping him folded over in a soundproof box I know he was lying. <br />They won't keep the dogs quiet. Batteries on bark collars go dead and you have to replace them. If we sue it's not going to be in small claims. It's not about money , you are correct., it's about ending the home invasion by barking dog. If that has to come with a $$$ sign so be it. <br />It's not as easy as moving either. No matter where you go there are hounds barking and running loose. <br />We'll see what comes but my rose colored glasses are covered in shit. I have no illusions.

You can go after any bank accounts, cars, real estate, income sources, even the contents of the trailer. <br /><br />Again, you aren't pursuing the suit to make lots of money. You are pursuing the suit to punish the neighbor. The rust heap they drive might only be worth a thousand bucks, but I bet they'd hate to see it towed away!<br /><br />I was in a situation similar to yours. I started pre-litigation with the letter (link upper right). I wasn't speaking to them at that point, but we had another neighbor as a go-between and I made it perfectly clear - they are going to cease and desist or they are going to regret it. I made it crystal clear I was going to turn them into ground up shit if they did not comply. Within 2 weeks the dogs were gone. A couple of years later they moved out.Animal Uncontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353756918671252887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-55692740619379203952015-10-22T11:48:06.591-07:002015-10-22T11:48:06.591-07:00I have found that repeated exposure to dogs barkin...I have found that repeated exposure to dogs barking nonstop has decreased my tolerance to almost zero. <br />After the 2AM call for a squad car and the neighbors dogs barking nonstop for a total of just over 11 hours we now have it in writing that their dogs will be kept under control. They really didn't like the real police being called on them for disturbing the peace. <br />It took about three days before I felt well after that night. Seems they were all gone but left the dogs home alone and loose. At least that's their story. For us it was simply the icing on a three day reign of terror by dog. <br />I have no doubt this nonsense has taken a toll on my health at times. They are lucky my line in the sand is to call the police. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305943619486210085noreply@blogger.com
