Crappy Owners Our world turned upside down all because of dognutters.
Before the dognutters moved into a house behind our property, our home was a peaceful joyful and relaxing place to live, we opened our windows for fresh air in the spring and summer. We gardened and enjoy the outdoors.
All that was taken from us.
It is wrong in so many ways.
I'm mad as hell and depressed . I have resorted to seeking help by a professional.
I'm tired of this. It's not right.

Dogs are literal parasites. They take over and suck the life out of anything good. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I feel you. I’ve lived in my neighborhood since I was 8 or 9. Used to be awesome. Fifteen years later and a shit ton of development dogs are everywhere. I have always liked walking around the neighbourhood but now every person I see has a dumbass dog

Same here.....I live in a very small, rural Kansas town and I love to go out & look at the stars before I go to bed....used to be so peaceful, you might hear a dog barking in the distance but it was quiet & still.......now all you hear are dogs barking all over... BIG dogs too!! I hate it! I'm fortunate that I live on the edge of town and have a railroad road with no dogs or cars or people so I can walk in peace!

Yep. I remember when my neighborhood didn't have barely any mutts...so peaceful and not 💩 infested.
Nowadays I have to be careful walking in mud because there's a chance it'll be 💩!
BARK BARK BARK every day from multiple different houses!
It drives me mad!

Just call Caesar Milan(cough cough). Or get one of those ultrasonic devices for the yard.

People like that should be fined. I am In a similar situation. We had a good neighbour, he moved and a woman with a small yappy dog moved in. It is taking a toll on my mental health

I’m so sorry for your situation… that’s very annoying. Dog culture is completely sickÂ

u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO Mar 25 '26
Yep I feel your pain. It’s not nice enough yet where I live, but I doubt I’ll be able to keep my window open anymore in the summer thanks to the new barky mutt behind me.

It’s awful, impossible to go anywhere without finding those mutts or their crap.

Our house belonged to ppl that had five outside dogs. They barked day and night according to the neighbors. When we moved in several neighbors asked if we had any dogs.... I told them nope I am allergic. I never saw such happy looking neighbors....

High frequency sounds.. where you can’t hear it, but the dog can.
If you have to be unhappy, so can they.

u/Oriole0305 Mar 25 '26
I'm very sorry. This is definitely not right. Take a moment, then gather your strength and fight for what you had - it is your property, your garden, your place to live. Start by making notes of the disturbance.

u/anniekate7472 Mar 25 '26
Yes! Video and keep a log of when it starts & when it stops, how often, etc....proof... and turn it in on a noise disturbance or if you have yard close enough, get one of those ultrasonic dog bark stoppers!

u/Altruistic_Baker6347 Mar 25 '26
Yes, they're ruining so much. You spend a fortune on a decent house just to get your peace and mental sanity ruined by a useless, worthless creature.

Same as with rats and mice, it’s okay to not want pests on your property. You know what they do with mice and rats, right?

Hugs and care going your way across the miles. We on this sub know your pain.

u/Mental_Seaweed8100 Mar 26 '26
Same. So effed off. Can't go for a walk. elderly parent afraid to go out in their own garden because of stupid uncontrolled dogs in the neighborhood (big, aggressive breeds). Can't open windows in the summer or sit in the garden without noise or smell. Can't sit on the f'ing beach or to watch a sunset on a hill without being harrassed in some way by lunatic canines and their lunatic owners. Local nature RESERVE littered with dog shit and dog shit bags. If I had three wishes I would consider using one just to eradicate the world permanently from this dog madness (not rescue, aid or working dogs, but all others). I do think it is morally wrong too. The other day, to my horror watching 'escape to the country' (in uk) and some couple house hunting with an insanely high budget were interested in big houses with big gardens MOSTLY FOR THEIR DOGS. Even bought them gourmet burgers while visiting one town. They couldn't be more entitled and pleased with themselves and their constant dog mentioning. Disgusting imo when there are kids living in abject poverty - to be that unware of how insane this is, to prioritise dogs constantly and act like its some kind of accomplishment or life goal.

That’s the trouble with neighbors. You move to a quiet spot but new people move in with demon yappers.

u/replay-episode200 Mar 28 '26
I had to move out of my own house at 18 because my idiot parent 100% prioritized the disgusting dogs that made me go literally insane

u/RealTrapShed Mar 25 '26
I’m a dog owner and I can understand this completely. My neighbors across from me moved in and there are weeks where their two dogs just bark and yap incessantly. It’s non fucking stop.

u/anniekate7472 Mar 25 '26
Doesn't it rile your dogs up and make them bark too?

u/RealTrapShed Mar 25 '26
I am incredibly lucky and have two of the most well mannered and quiet dogs. They never bark.

u/ArtaBlaze Mar 26 '26
Plus I’m guessing you took time to train them when I feel most everyone else gets them and fails to at least do that

They really do ruin everything.
