Hi Lorraine ,
We have the same problem our neighbour petitions about everything and anything . Even got a jack russell removed across the road .
So my advise is keep your freinds close but your enemys closer . We gave her a key to the house so that if he does trouble her she can let herself in and sort it out , she sits down woth him for 10 mins and chats to him and he is OK for the rest of the day . We also buy her a bottle of gin every now and agian and say its from the dog .
Some people listen all the time when they know there is a certain noise ie barking and then try to create a problem about it . But my question is would they be as much of a moaner if there was a child at home all day crying ?
What are you expected to do then - send your child to an orphanage because they are to noisy ?
