haddockman   10 #13 Posted June 1, 2011 Am I wrong?! Moaning about a situation isn't going to change it  My post wasn't with the sole purpose of moaning.  I had hoped for some useful advice, from other people who've had the same problem? Or perhaps know about this same dog.  Yes, you are quite correct in stating the bleeding obvious, round of applause.  Next time you're asking about something, lets hope you're met with the same wonderful helpful replies.

leelister6 Â Â 10 #15 Posted June 1, 2011 Asking a sensible question will probably get you mostly sensible answers! But if you post a question on here which can be answered in 10 seconds using a search engine you'll probably get some stick! For instance; If Mr.Haddock had typed "Sheffield council nuisance dogs" into a search engine he would have found the info which I just did in the same 10 seconds that it took me: Â http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/environmental-health/pollution/noise-pollution/domestic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

LeMaquis   10 #17 Posted June 1, 2011 Assume the dog gets put out when the owners go to work and only let back into the house late at night. They're obviously not looking after the dog properly and just want to get it out of the way. The dog must feel stressed, unwanted and needs attention and companionship not to say food and water. So contact the RSPCA. Then you can set it on those people on here who just make sarky comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's obviously not happy to be barking 12-14hours a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookesey   635 #22 Posted June 1, 2011 I know roughly where it lives, but not an exact house. Do you want me to go trailing round the back gardens to find out?  Any need for the patronising tone to your reply anyway?  Do you want someone else to do it for you? If you can't even be bothered to locate the source of your problem, why should any other forum member be concerned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LitleMermaid   10 #23 Posted June 1, 2011  Do you want someone else to do it for you? If you can't even be bothered to locate the source of your problem, why should any other forum member be concerned?  If you could point out where haddock has said he "can't be bothered" to find out where the noise is coming from then people might take your post seriously  What do you not understand about us simply wanting advice on how to deal with the situation and also trying to find out if anyone else has noticed the problem to back us up?

This clearly proves that he can't be bothered to find out where the noise is coming from.  How do interpret it in the above context?
