It's brown and white. Does that help?

No, not really. Big or small?

Spaniel I reckon: they're very vocal. The howlers over from us are little spaniels and the owners don't do anything to shut them up. They're going to get a muzzle for Xmas they are

[Two_Sheds]

What did they do - muzzle it or take it to work?

Apparently the dogs belonged to the householder's daughter: she was either at work or couldn't cope with them, I don't know. It's a council house, so perhaps the householder was worried about the council finding out she had dogs ~ they still barked in the garden, but were swiftly taken indoors or told to shut up when they started on one

There was a house next to my lottie where big dogs were left to bark all day. Everyone was fed up with it, but nobody did anything. Me, I'm gobby I am ~ and interfering
I typed up an official looking letter & this leaflet and posted it to the house: the barking stopped shortly after that

What breed is the howler, as some larger dogs are more prone to this? Do you know? Can you describe?

I've thought many times about who to call

Not my French (bull) dog: she can't bark at all, just kind of "acks" ~ but thinking about it, she can't manage the "ck" either, it's more just the "a" !

I discourage that too: I hate barking dogs. She tried it on for the first two weeks, but we totally ignored her noise. When she fell quiet, she got lots of treats & praise: she now hardly ever makes a noise (usually only if she's cr@pped in her bed overnight )

Yowser...so cute! So shy too

They are stood right next to the yapper - so that neighbour definitely knows...and the other one, he howls when he is in the garden and he does nothing about it.

I've thought many times about who to call; I'm not sure the RSPCA do anything about animals that are just left all day, as otherwise they would have their work cut out as there must be millions of animals left all day.

They do! Warnings come first if no apparent mess or cruelty. They will want to look at health, habitat, access to and from house/garden, etc. that should be enough to scare them into action.

Sounds like a French dog. They seem to bark all day and night

Have you told them their dogs bark/yap/howl all day while they're out Zaz? I would. No dog should be shut up all day like that, the dog police certainly wouldn't like it.

the other is at work all day and it howls like a bansheeeeeeee all day long.

Maybe a call to the RSPCA might be in order. No dog should be left on its own all day.

Having dogs and bu��ering off out, be it to work or play is wrong...plain wrong! My neighbours do this but come back at lunch for wee walking. However, one lot put the dogs out and go AWOL all day and YES I have threatened them with the RSPCA. They have cats too, who are out all night. They make me mad. They are merely objects of five minute desire.
