This article tells the story of two neighbors who resolved a barking dog dispute through communication and understanding. It highlights the importance of empathy and finding solutions that maintain good neighborly relations.
Or, at least as old as fences between adjoining properties and dogs as household pets are anyway.So, what is the best way to deal with the nuisance? And can you keep up some form of neighbourly goodwill once the issue has been resolved?A happy ending to these sorts of 'tails' The Canberra resident, who has asked that her last name be omitted, says her issues started when new neighbours moved in and brought barking dogs with them.
She says the barking was pretty much constant during the day while she was working from home and that it got so bad she couldn't concentrate in meetings even when wearing noise-cancelling headphones.At night, she was unable to sleep properly due to the constant barking.Immediately, she says the problem was resolved.Then feeling guilty about the slightly 'passive aggressive' tone she'd taken, she followed up with a kinder note, which even included some dog treats.Naomi Barker (yes, that really is her last name) found herself on the other side of the fence — so to speak. It was her neighbours who had to let her know her two-and-a-half-year-old border collie Coco was causing a bit of a ruckus with her barking in the backyard in the evenings. 'There's been a couple of times when they've sent us a text message and said 'we're trying to get the girls to bed., would you mind putting the dogs inside?'' she explains. 'And I think you just have to have a certain level of empathy for what your neighbours are going through, and I think they understand what we're going through with crazy Coco as well.'Loud parties and noisy businesses can be an unfortunate part of communal living, but when is it time to escalate things? Ms Barker, who says she wasn't put out at all by the request, says she has been conscious of Coco's barking, especially since the vet told them she has anxiety,. She also knows Coco's barking is triggered by a variety of things like flies, birds, garbage trucks and cars towing trailer
