You have put up with this for 10 years?
Are they allowed to use the shared garden for a dog toilet.
Yep, 10 years. The "previous" dogs were smaller and not so bad (yaps are quieter than full-on barks), but recently with the GP and the Cocker, it's getting silly. Day to day, I'm rarely in so don't notice it that much, but evenings are quite bad, and neighbours have also confirmed they think it's a bit of a pisstake too. I just think it's cruel, to be honest. 3 dogs in a 1 bedroom flat on the 2nd floor - along with 2 cats and 2 adult (nearly) humans.Are they allowed to use the shared garden for a dog toilet.
I think the garden has now become "the default" for the dog crap. I've not actually been out there in the last couple of years because of how bad the situation got, but I would not be surprised to see piles of dog eggs out there.
Shame really, cos I like well-behaved respectful dogs, it's just the jumpy sniffy lick-everything ones that bug me.

Our neighbour next door has a Cockerel, but I didn't know this until last week when he came round with eggs for us and he asked if it had been bothering us.
He also has a Staffy and an English Bull terrier, both of which bark quite a bit however we don't really notice.
A cockerel which produces eggs and apparently doesn't crow... Is your neighbour familiar with farmyard animals?!He also has a Staffy and an English Bull terrier, both of which bark quite a bit however we don't really notice.
To the OP, I would second a previous poster that you set up cameras to film the dog so that you know what behaviour you are trying to train him out of and also as defence (or otherwise!) should your neighbour go any further with his complaints.

We had the dog barking problem for six months until I found the solution.
The neighbour concerned was letting the dog out of the house at 5am everyday, on this way to work. The dog then barked, constantly for about 2 hours until his wife would let it back in.
After six months I could stand it no more and simply called the local council dog warden service. Within a week the barking had stopped because the warden told them not to let the dog out so early. So far, 4 months down the line, the mornings are still quiet!

@Parsnip
The OP establishes the neighbour has lied about the extent of the barking even claiming it happens when the dog is not present. The 'dog barking' is the leverage, not the cause.
Section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 makes a persons behaviour that is likely to cause 'causing alarm or distress' an offence; the OP clearly establishes this to be the case, which is why he his seeking help and support here.
The Neighbours behaviour could also be regarded as the more serious 'Stalking' clause under the same legislation which considers persistent 'spying' or force unwanted contact an offense.
@OP
Take this to the council anti-social behaviour team, make sure they understand the _distress_ this is causing you.
