Question

Write a courteous letter to a neighbour whose dog annoys you by barking at night. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dear [name]

Just a quick note regarding dog barking. The constant barking is very frustrating and can be clearly heard inside [my/our] house.

If the dog belongs to you, please could you try to stop them barking as much? If not, [I/we] will do some further investigating to find the dog's owner.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

[Name]

[Your house number]

OR

[Your Address][Neighbour's name]

[Address / 'Delivered by hand']

[Date]

Answer 2

I am keen to resolve this amicably; we are after all neighbours! I would therefore be grateful if you could [try to reduce any noise between 11pm and 7am / stop your dog from barking constantly at any time for more than 20 minutes / not let your dog outside when you are out of the house].
