First thing in the morning

If people want to have a religion thats fine by me, I respect it, just don't ram it down our throats. On the same note, if you want to keep semi ferral yappy mutts in a residential area, there is anti bark collars, and training available so that you aren't causing noise pollution. Whenever I go into my garden to relax, they start barking, on nightshift. The slightest thing sets them off, doorbells, cats, me walking outside to hang a washing out on the other side of the fence, other dogs barking nearby.
There are about 5 yappy terriors next door. On the other side there is a spaniel type dog thats mostly indoors but the owner lets it out wothout a lead and if it spots a cat or another person nearby it goes running after it barking while the owner stands yelling at it (this can be from 7 in the morning to 11.30 at night) there is also a bigger dog about 3 streets away and when it starts you can hear it loudly, and it sometimes sets of the yappy mutts next door.
I'm not sure what to do. I'd hate to cause bad relations in the Neighbourhood. Its getting made worse now with the school holidays, because parents cannot bring their kids up properly so they are let out to play and feel the need to scream, squeal and shout, and again, that sets the dogs off aswell.
When did people lose all sense of disciple and respect?

Is it possible you made sure they were quiet because you knew you were being recorded? Or was it done in secret? I have been thinking about setting up hidden cameras so I can gather evidence.
Could I record audio in my own garden?
I have one! It involves shift work and I'm also growing my own business which I hope one day will get me out of working class streets
We had a similar issue with one of our neighbours - turned out it wasn't our dogs at all
People hear a dog and assume it is the one closest to them, But barking can travel a surprisingly long way in the right circumstances
They don't tell you when they set it up and as several of our neighbours had done diaries which completely contradicted the complaints it would have been impossible for us to keep them quiet for a month.
BTW recording has to be done where you claim you here them so indoors I would assume.
"My dogs were wrongly accused, therefore no accusation of dog barking disturbance can be true".
Not quite what I was saying but if that is what you wish to believe ......
That is rather how it came across.
I can say from experience that there certainly are some absolute tossers who leave their dogs out in the garden all day (and night), barking and whining.

Agree with this. Don't see why people are doubting the OP?
Mum complained to them that I was struggling to concentrate on revising for my GCSEs because of its constant yapping. They said there was nothing they could do. The problem only ended when its owners died and the dog vanished.
Terriers are vocal dogs, a pack of them must be super irritating.
It is like, after the first min or two of barking you tell them to shut the hell up.
Why does it never bother the owners, or even some of the other neighbours?

Mixed reviews, but looks like it might be worth a try.
Mainly because I have never met a dog that could bark all day everyday, they get tired and sleep at various points.
But the OP is dealing with a pack of 5 dogs. Presumably they all bark at different times. And they are terriers - they are very vocal, energetic little dogs.
/just kidding i wouldn't do that to a poor dog but some owners probably deserve it from what i've seen
Even a pack will quieten after a while, I know the kennels near us get complaints but if you stand down wind of them you hear dogs barking not on the premises even, sounds carry and it's hard to tell where they really are.
The problem is unless the OP is willing to talk to the neighbours I doubt anything will be done, we were recorded because we asked the council to do it to settle the matter as different neighbours were giving us different accounts of the barking. The one complaining was saying they barked from 7am - 9pm but as I am at home 7-5pm I knew at least that time was silent.
Hounding the life out of him i suppose..??
because sometimes you cant stop it. My dogs a whiner and it doesn't stop. I have tried so much but nothing works. I would rather the whining then his big boy bark.
The OP is not alone out there. My neighbours put their noisy dogs in the garden and go off to work. Dog apologists would be surprised just how much barking a dog is capable of.
I shall order one of these tonight!
