Barking Dogs in Poland

burn their house down when their at work

On a serious note, buy a dog whistle, it causes a high pitch noise, as a result dogs stop barking.

Yes, it is common in the Polish countryside.

You are lucky you don`t need to ride a bike through villages at night coming back from work like my wife`s rural cousin. :):):):)

Poles love dogs, simple!

Those pooor dogs look like they're freezing ;(

Of course not. They have their fur coats, don`t they?

The constantly barking dogs are the main reason I'm leaving this country for good. Most people from my country simply don't understand that not everybody wants to hear their ******* pieces of **** the whole time.

You're leaving Poland because the dogs bark too much? Wow, I've heard it all now. Fyi, dogs bark in every country, not just Poland, you tool.

No actually - there are noise abatement laws throughout the civilised countries of the EU, where the owner gets busted, and if the dog persists, it, and not the owner unfortunately - can be destroyed.

As you probably well know; but we couldn't possibly have a wonderful country like Poland attempting to improve at all, could we?

Idiot.

Where I lived before had a dog barking much of the day and many evenings too. Very common, even on supposedly good estates. Barking for hours at a time, no one seems to mind. I politely asked for some quiet once and was promised some, but sadly that was an empty promise. Didn't have the strength to argue or complain, so just moved. One very big advantage of renting.

CalmIt: Have you ever been abroad in some of the civilised countries? Check the Netherlands. Check some big cities there like Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Amsterdam or whatever. Just check it. Then post your opinions.

Retard.

Dogs in Poland (Warsaw anyway) are the topic of much discussion, disagreement and arguments in apartment buildings, some very much justified and some not.

You wouldn't want to live near my two Alsatians....Szarik and Freya They could be in the Olympic barking team for any country and win gold. But it bothers no-one we are in the middle of nowhere and our nearest neighbour said that since we moved here with our dogs, they have lost a lot less chickens etc to foxes that don't dare come near and the wild boar stay away and don't dig up the tracks as much. They have even learned to howl!!! like wolves. We just got used to it and think of it as keeping us safe.

Fair enough Kamaz - but for those of us who live in flats it's an absolute no-go and then some. And I agree with the other posters that the Polish village scene is completely ruined by incessant barking at the slightest provocation - when a fallen leaf rustles in the wind.

People keep dogs outside even when they have nothing worth stealing :) Why their dogs are not taken from them because of cruelty I have no idea........ anyway - on the (extremely) rare occasion that my dog barks I take away his toys.

Dougpol, I would hate to live in a flat with someone nearby with dogs barking...or some mad Bob Marley fan playing music all hours??? or a mad bloke who is learning to play the bag pipes!!! But in a village everyone has a dog.......I do feel for the poor little things on a 1 metre chain with just a box to live in all it's life and only fed on grain or bread...soaked in gravy if it is a really lucky dog....just as we turn into our lane there is a little dog that has learned to upturn it,s food bowl and sit on it when it is really cold. There are laws against this of course.....but things will change slowly here....there are also other mad things to put up with.....our Cockerel 'Stan' (I think he is Stan 4 - 4th Cockerel...others went in the pot and tasty they were!!) The other morning I woke early just after 5, I went out onto the balcony for a bit of fresh air!!!! and there he was....in the hen house, crowing his heart out??? not a glimmer of light yet.......he is tasking me!!! his son 'Stan 5' is ready to take over.....the pot beckons.

Wait for a while Kamaz - let him grow further - there is a pub in St Albans in England called "The Giant Cock" :)

And I was under the sad mis-apprehension that you lucky people in the village get attached to your animals...... Don't think I was going all anti-village on you :) I too would live in the countryside if I only could.

What's with the internet connection there though? My dog loves looking at labrador prn.

Why do dogs in Poland bark so much?

In my travels to UK and further, either country or city environment, its hard not to see that dogs in Poland seem a lot more vocal. If I'm out for an evening walk in PL always within an earshot there is barking dog. Often more than one. Most would agree meeting a dog that barks a lot in uk is most rare. I struggle to think what to put it down to..

Villagers' ignorance? Yes - I think that covers it.

I said the same thing to my neighbor about his dog that barked all day and night and just wouldn't shut the F - up.

I think it just like hearing himself bark.
Realizing it was such an obnoxious annoyance to the neighborhood he finally put it out of it's misery understanding that the dog was very disturbed with emotional problems that couldn't be corrected.

Made for a much more pleasant and relaxing neighborhood.

In Poland barking dogs are the norm especially in smaller towns plus they dont even chain or put leeshes on their dogs there and they threaten walking by people all the time. Lol nice country huh?

Simple. They realise they are on a contract hire with their human owners to protect the house and family against intruders, either human or bestial. So, it is normal for them to carry out their duties the best they can, primarily by barking, then biting.

Not normal at all.
Guard dogs in Britain only bark or bite when there is a danger.
Too many dog owners in Poland do not have a clue how to train dogs and that is one of the things that annoys me most about Poland.

Ignorant dog owners who let their dogs bark all day and night.....

Coz they are lazy. Barking when THERE ALREADY is some danger is useless. Dog`s role has always been to WARN about the danger so that a human could take proper action in time. That`s what Polish dogs do - they still stick to ancient traditions which go back to prehistoric times. British dogs have lost those primordial instincts.


That is called the freedom of bark. Poles are freedom oriented people.

how eo these people in poland train them to just bark all day and night at any sound do they best them and commit animal cruelty or something? what a greta land lol.

Yes, exactly, you never know what various sounds may entail. But do not overlook another important trait - dogs also react to smells. So they can bark after smelling sth strange.

I am dealing with this at moment and no matter which country your in , it is just ignorance, I wouldn't have it in Uk and I have , now have it in Poland.

needless to say there must be a way. Like all good things here you have to have a meeting apparently. I'm in city and it's completely disrespectful to me and my neighbours. Dog police have already paid there visit thanks to another neighbour little seems achieved. So I'm hopeing my meet ramps it up with daily video evidence. As it now affects kids sleeping

Rest BS about Poland or Uk dogs is rubbish 100% dogs bark more in City I am in , in Poland not up for debate. I put this down to previous use of dogs as some sort status here yes I know exists everywere but... , genuine fear from people hear when they see dogs they pull thier kids close. This type mentality doesn't exist in Uk so much because of this issue being highlighted. I feel sad as it seems every dog has chip on it's shoulder and I can't imagine we're that comes from,I understand now dogs must be on thier lead or muzzled. Through I have done one, I haven't done other no one has said a word! I wait for day that some polish dog behaves reckless because it's owner hasn't told it how to behave as I will let mine off lead and it won't be all bark! In short I think it's wider issue and it's also cultural thing I am yet to fully understand real benefit too. Contributions above ridiculous reference warning , security etc It's misplaced people need to show more respect to fellow man tho goes for useing crossings on roads too 😉

Dogs are a.problem in Poland.
A problem.that I.don't have in the UK.

You forgot to begin it with: I proudly announce that ........ :):):)
It looks like the most important info you shared with us in the forum today. Thank you so much, we are really grateful. hahaha Do you realise how pathetic you are?

Two stray dogs regularly visit us and feed on kompost meat leftovers. I gave them some tasty morsels a few times and they visibly took to me. They are harmless though look really fierce. I don`t make a fuss about their presence coz they play a useful role - deter hares/deer and strangers.

These dogs look like beasts. Would not want to be near them as two dogs are much more dangerous than one.

If they are stray dogs they will catch them and neuter them.

This quote comes from 2021. Crazy staff member merged it with my yesterday`s post. Milo, if you read it, remember it is 3 years old.


I hope so. A hare seeing them should shyt all over its pants immediately.
