This really shits me off ,when you are told to talk the offending dog owner , you would likely pick yourself up off the ground , it’s never their dog always some one else’s. It the Councils job to speak to them not the residents. There was a dog back of my home constantly barking I . politely spoke to ,her response it keeps us awake too,then promptly tied in the back corner to bark day and night,the poor thing was tied up 24/7. She would come around with foul mouth abuse the F word was her main vocabulary, after several episodes I called the police deal with her, all the while she was throwing rubbish over the corner of my property .

Yeah our next door neighbour has a barking dog. Very nasty snarl and bark. Not game to try and sort it. Just constant if we are in the yard. Sort of dog it it got hold of you, you wouldn't survive. Don't think anyone has approached them. Seems they are out when it happens. Crazy

You should take note of the advise given in the article and discuss this with the dog owner.

Not so sure I want to. I'm old and not into the possibility of starting an argument over the dog barking constantly. Had that issue at the previous place. It ended up with the police involved and it didn't solve a thing

Dear member Leenie, thankyou for your post. You could call the RSPCA and report the fact that the dog is tied 24/7. They would investigate the matter and the health condition of the dog. Wishing you a pleasant evening.

Sorry they are a waste of space ,had already contacted them all we got was a dog can be chained for 23 hours, and let loose for exercise for an hour , they are more interested in publicity and money . Also the ones next door were as bad and when I mentioned the teenage girl would throw kittens up in the air and wait for them to fall he laughed and said she just wanted to see where they fell, this was the RSPCA from Bundaberg.Anothertime I phoned about a dog locked in a fibro shed I was told That a hole in the wall gave it some air and it had a bowl of water , this was in the middle of summer. Another person had also called them about this dog.

Just a couple of years ago a lady was mauled to death here by two dogs she was caring for Her friends,when Council checked found they weren’t registered etc, they were fined and dogs were put down. A few weeks later another couple were attacked not far from where the lady was killed. It took a long time before Council acted on nuisance dogs as they always made excuses not to act ,now there is a $2500 fine if dogs are not kept under control., certainlymade a difference as one dog owner was fined and also had to pay court costs ,which cost him over $3500 , this was long over due?

The fact that the poor animal is tied up 24/7 is actually Animal Cruelty. Some people should never be allowed to have animals! Yes, the RSPCA should definitely be notified ...

Unfortunately, our Kelpie X has a horrible habit of charging our fence and chasing vehicles as they pass by the house. Positively hates children; was teased by the brat who used to live next door and as a consequence, barks 'his head off' and rushes from one fence to the other when several of them walk past the house. He had one of those 'zapper' devices attached to the collar, which I thought was cruel and I only used it twice. Nowadays, I only have to wave a small tree branch at him and that is enough to stop him in his tracks. I am fearful of the day that someone complains about the rushing though ..... Whiskey has already bitten the nose of an aggressive dog who was stupid enough to put it between the bars of the wrought iron gate.

Dear member Leenie, thankyou for your post. Sorry to hear that the people at the RSPCA in your area, were not supportive of the serious issue regarding the dog and kittens. It appears that the person you made the report to, is not a responsible person to be working with the RSPCA. Try to get in contact with the Ombudsman, who will look into the way your report was managed by RSPCA, and who will then take action to pass the information to the appropriate department, who can deal with this serious issue with more care and responsibility. It may very well be, that the person you made the report to at the RSPCA, is an individual staff member who is not taking their job seriously, and not taking appropriate action when a report of animal cruelty is reported. Clearly the person to whom you made the report to, needs to step down and be replaced ASAP. Wishing you success in your communication with the Ombudsman with a positive outcome to save the dog and kittens from further cruelty. God bless,

Dear member Leenie, you could also contact your council, or your Member of Parliament for your area or even the Mayor from your council. I am sure anyone of these departments would be very interested to hear how the RSPCA are not doing their job correctly. I believe also that one of these departments will definately take action, and do what is necessary to save the dog and kittens from being cruely treated. Just explain in detail what the issue is and the way the RSPCA staff member delt with your report. Wishing you a pleasant evening.
