This has been an ongoing problem for about a year and I'm now starting to loose patients not to mention sleep and sanity. Next door has 4 terrier dogs that bark for long periods of time. This occurs every day from 7am-9am and during the evenings, sometime until 1am. They bark at the slightest of sound which I don't really mind but then continue to bark for several hours.
Talked to the neighbour several times but if very hard to deal with and accuses our dog of doing the same (this is not true). Neighbour has been convicted of gun crimes (threatening people etc) so reluctant to be aggressive towards him.
What can we do to ease the problem with causing. Obviously the local council is an option but how effective are they?
