To all doggies on SG.

Hi

Would all dogs living on SG please stop barking between the hours of 11.30pm till 0800am as some of us Humans are trying to sleep.

I do realise that you are protecting your master and their property but barking constantly for two or three hours at night is becoming a real nightmare so please for the sake of us humans sanity tone it down abit.

Could you also please pass this message on to all your doggie friends that are not on the Eye of Spain.

Thankyou. 

 I compleatly agree with "fromie32" concerning dog barking nuisance on Sierra Golf.

Our last visit was nearly ruined by constant barking of dogs right through every night.

If dogs bark all the time they are not doing there job of alerting their owners to abnormal noise, burglars/intruders.

So deterrent value of having a dog is lost?

I am told that having a dog/dogs that causes a nuisance (barking etc) is a police matter in Spain and owners can be prosecuted for Spanish equivalent of Anti Social behavior..

Lets hope it doesn't come to that and everyone protects the peacefulness of Sierra Golf and considers their neighbors.

As always this issue/problem is not the animals fault. It is the responsibility of owners to train and take responsibility for their pets.

I was under the impression dogs could bark up till midnight then the owners would then be liable if noise complaint made to police. Don't blame the dogs, they can't read, it's the owners who need to take responsibility.

Yes it is the owners responsibility, but sadly some seem not to care at all about the community.  Have not wanted to put anything online that would affect the improvments on SG, but now there are some people going to sell up because they can't stand the ongoing noise all night long.  That is awful.  Please help it stop if you can.

How can you complian to the police when it's one of there own who got 4 dogs 

Hi,

We are thinking of coming out to our place on Sierra Golf at end of summer and wondered if the barking dog problem/nuisance has got any better? Or better still .........stopped.

I understand the neighborhood watch team has contact with police at Torre Pacheo, and has numbers of dedicated police support officer/team.

Surely they would advise or take action over dog barking issues, even if one of the offenders is one of theirs?

Probable more so....due to embarrassment to the Police Dept and possible bad press if taken to court.

Like others, we love the SG community feel and quietness/peacefulness but find ourselves hesitating about coming out if selfish few are still disturbing quite enjoyment of our property.

Update please.

Best wishes to all.

We were at SG last week and were expecting the worse, but never heard one dog during the night.  A few dogs barked during the day but not continuously so wasn't a problem.

The dog barking is almost non-existent and now the school holidays are here bigger children are more of a nuisance (and even they are okay). Please don't let this get blown out of all proportion.
