I appreciate the majority of dog owners are considerate with well trained pets that they clean up after.
You just have to take a look at the amount of dog s
t that seems to be bloody everywhere these days to call BS on that statement and substitute 'minority' for 'majority'.king barking canines and their ing fking stty-handed (if they actually pick up their fking dog's st) owners. Phew, nearly forgot to swear....
Clarification received and understood.The OP has my deepest sympathy. A neighbour two doors up in my previously quiet street couldn't sell their house (obviously it couldn't possibly be worth less than they paid for it as house prices only ever go up, supply and demand dontcha know) so they've rented it out. First set of tenants were fine but now moved on. Current lot, FFS! Happy to stand in their porch shouting at their mate who's in his car outside "Farking" this and "Farking" that. Yeah, chears.
But on Sunday a mate brought a dog round which wasn't let in. So it sat in the front garden and barked. And barked. And barked. And barked.
I went out in the end.
And that's during a (was) quiet Sunday afternoon. Not sure how I'd cope if it was midnight!
Incredible how people can have zero appreciation for those around them, it's like they're the only people on the planet that matter.
OP, next time it happens, get the dog and put him in your garden, see how they like it!

What I find odd is that some dogs are so fking quiet that they'd be absolutely useless in a burglary. I was watching a family on Wimbledon Common with one big dog and one fluffy thing playing fetch with them. The only noise came from the children. What's the point in a dog that doesn't bark at all? 
We have a labradooodle that's big enough, but almost silent when out for walk / chasing deer, fetching a ball etc.king quiet that they'd be absolutely useless in a burglary.

Trained by her late owner (wifey's late aunt). Currently being overfed and under-exercised by MiL.

Our Labrador is exactly like this. The only thing that sets her off regularly are foxes outside the garden.Come to our door, however, and she'll bark the house down.
The wife's King Charles on the other hand taps at anything and I hate it with a passion !
Good rant OP, just ease back on the profanity and it will be perfect.
I too have a dislike for poorly trained dogs and their inconsiderate owners; especially when they let them bark incessantly without stopping to think that I and other people might find the repetitive monotonous noise a tad annoying.
Another favourite of mine is those owners that think their dog 'won't bite' anyone. How do they know? Because they have not done so yet? Or because they talk to them in dog language and have a legally binding agreement not to bite?
All dogs, when out in public should be on a lead and muzzled imho

Loving it. Cracking thread. Bloke about 5 doors up the road lets his precious jack russel out for a st at 10.30pm an leaves it out for half an half barking at any old thing. Only mildly annoying at that distance. I fancied creeping up along the hedgerow and burying a car battery connected to a remote control and a set of twin air horns pointing right into the garden. Problem is that he could probably hear me pissing myself laughing.... and it's not really fair on the pooch.
Meanwhile, change your wifi routers SSID to "shut up your farking dog".

9/10 for the rant. Fullsome and focussed, good stuff.
(Ours is scared of the dark (think she's very short sighted). After lights out any noise makes her try and eat her way out into the back garden via the patio doors.
She is [b]inside[\b] the double glazing though, which must be small comfort for the neighbours. Sorry.)

Mmmm, must admit I threw in my comment about the 'majority' in order to undermine any fascist dog-owning members of PH who might have taken offence at the rant; a lack of conviction on my behalf. The truth is I hate virtually all dogs, but I hate noisy ones more than quiet ones. Hope that clarifies my atitude to fking barking canines and their ing fking stty-handed (if they actually pick up their fking dog's st) owners. Phew, nearly forgot to swear....
You don't want to move in next door to me then. king barking canines and their ing fking stty-handed (if they actually pick up their fking dog's st) owners. Phew, nearly forgot to swear....
