This is only considered anti-social behaviour if the noise is persistent.
Whilst it is natural for dogs to bark when it is happening persistently it can be annoying and upsetting.
We suggest you have a friendly word with your neighbour first as they may not be aware that their pet is causing a disturbance.
We’ve put together some tips to help you resolve problems with neighbours in our step-by-step guide or links and information found below.
If the situation has not improved, mediation might be of help to you.
Mediation is an informal, confidential and independent service to help neighbours sort out their differences and reach an agreement.
Mediation can help you and your neighbour(s) understand each other’s point of view and reach a solution.
If you have concerns about the welfare of a pet, you should contact the RSPCA.
