Noises drive neighbours barking mad
Incessant barking dogs and Manfeild Park noise overnight have raised the blood pressure of Feilding residents.
A resident who wishes to remain unnamed is upset about a neighbouring dog that starts barking from 6.30am. This then causes other surrounding dogs to start barking as well.
The woman, also a dog owner, wrote to the Feilding Herald:
"My own dog has been taught that he doesn't bark unless someone comes on to his property. Other neighbours are also upset with the constant and annoying loud bark.
"None of us mind the sound of the fire siren, cars and bikes at Manfeild, but the incessant barking invades one's peace of mind."
(...)
The collars can be hired for $10 per week.
These collars give the dog an audible warning in the form of a beep that commands the dog to be quiet. If the dog heeds the warning and is quiet for 30 seconds, the collar automatically resets and goes back to standby mode.
Barking collars only work if the owner knows how to use it, otherwise it could do more damage than good. I hope that the dog control officer can show the proper use of the collar... a preventative measure instead of the 'here's a fine for $300 bucks'.
Why don't they just leave the dog in the house?
We have a neighbour who's dog barks each time you walk in the alley way. I don't mind that (well I do but... my dog just walks on, he's been taught NOT to bark) but what I DO mind if the dog seems so fierce when his noses is poking out of the wooden (broken) fence. You just wonder what will happen if the dog pushes his way out of the old decrepide fence?? Not only that, there's a pre-school right behind their house!!
