Dogs communicate with their owners through barking - but this can quickly become annoying for neighbours who have to listen to it day in day out.
While most owners check on their pets when they begin to bark, others leave them to 'tire themselves out' with little to no regard for their neighbour's sanity.
The RSPCA receives a lot of calls every year from neighbours who are concerned about barking dogs - and is now asking people who are worried about barking dogs to follow a few steps to help them.
