Sam....I feel your pain! Torn between the poor animal and relief at it stopping is horrendous to endure. My advice would be to turn to an animal rescue group who can actually DO something..liaise with owners or...if possible take the dog away! Might be difficult but it can happen. Otherwise...letters to the owner...plead with them..tell them how cruel they are being..record the poor dog and say you have the recordings and will let authorities hear them. Last resort really..been there done that but unfortunately it's always the victim who suffers the consequences as well as the animal.......best of luck.
Sam....when MrG was very ill at home I had the same.....environmental folk from the council came and told me to record when it barked....like I had time to do that....so I contacted the Mayor and my councillor.....anyone to make myself as much of a nuisance as the dog was to us....and I kept it up til it was sorted.....
Don't put up with it......it's a bloody pain listening to someone else's dog yapping all the time.....fight your corner.....!
I feel strongly about this...you'll have gathered.....☺

I didn't have to record weeks or months of barking.....they came to my house....listened from inside and in the garden.
They interviewed other neighbours who were as concerned as I was that the dog was left alone in the garden from Friday morning til Monday evening....and this was proved.....much more quickly than if I had agreed to make recordings.
We had contacted the RSPCA about the dog being left but they didn't want to know.
The owner was given the opportunity to have the dog rehomed and he accepted......silence and bliss...
But as I say......I had to push to get this action.

As someone who has got dogs, i really agree with the posters who say to harass the council until something is done. Dogs who are happy and well cared for don’t yap continuously. Either they are happy to be left for appropriate periods or the owner knows there is a problem and manages it. Poor dog. Poor you.
Exactly, Woof......I explained to the RSPCA that the dog was left for four days in the garden while the owner was away from home and that it was barking constantly...and whining....and how was it being fed and watered?
Their response was that they weren't in the business of stopping a dog barking just because it was annoying me!
So the council it had to be......x
