An Upper East Side man's irksome pets have the neighbors above his backyard asking a question most people hoped to never cross their minds again: "Who let the dogs out?" Today's Post looks into a clash between irritated neighbors and the owner of four dogs (a Jack Russell and three Pomeranians) who claims to be the most penalized pet owner under the city's relatively new noise laws. Rob Ryder has been fined three times over the last thirteen months when nearby residents called 311 for the barking dogs they claim Ryder lets out at 7 a.m., if not earlier. A neighbor above his East 72nd Street brownstone says, "In the spring and the summer, there are people who stick their heads out the window screaming at them, 'Shut your dogs up!' You're never free of these yapping dogs." Since loud pets became a punishable violation in the summer of 2007, 13,557 dog-noise complaints have been lodged through 311. Ryder fired back at those aggravated, "Give me a break! Everybody in this city owns dogs. This is Manhattan. Move to Minnesota if you want quietness."

If this were an old lady, she would be a nuisance, but for a young guy I think "azzhole" would fit the bill...
"Give me a break! Everybody in this city owns dogs. This is Manhattan. Move to Minnesota if you want quietness."
Better idea, why don't you move to Minnesota if you want to live somewhere where nobody will complain about your spoiled mutts? The guy looks like he belongs there anyway with his redneck-issue ratty baseball cap, T-shirt and jeans. Would it have killed him to get decent for the newspaper photographer? Besides, his stupidity betrays him. St. Paul and Minneapolis aren't exactly sleeply little backwater farm towns.
Get a shock-on-bark collar for your dogs or move to Minnesota where they can howl like wolves and bark like guard dogs all day long.

Do they come in 220v?
Citydogpeople are basically selfish. They should carry little spray bottles and paper towels to clean up their dogs urine. The city should charge big money for pet licenses to raise money.
Suggesting that somebody move to Minnesota? Completely uncalled for.
barking dogs in the city is just wrong. this guy needs to move or get rid of the dogs that are the barkers.
he looks like an insensitive, selfish and rude azzhole.
vienna sausages and anti freeze.
Doucheous maximus.
I'm not a fan of dogs in general in an urban environment, and I especially HATE yappy little dogs. I want to kick them.
I am shocked at all the hate for animals here. They're dogs - they bark. Get over it.
"They bark, get over it"
Did you read the post article? Another dog, with a different owner is accused of barking for over 6 hours straight. Who can "get over" hours and hours of barking each day?
Get over it? I have one next door to me that barks outside at 4:30am. That's A.M! When his owners go out, they put him in the lightwell between our two apartment buildings. Wind, rain, sleet, snow, he's there for hours and never stops barking and whining. They don't even walk him. They just throw him outside where the garbage cans are and let him back in when they feel like it. I've complained to 311 and they haven't done a thing to correct the situation. This is animal cruelty.
Dogs don't bark for hours on end when they're properly cared for. If your dogs do, you're another lazy, neglectful owner.
There is no excuse for letting your dog continually bark when you have neighbors all around. I am very fortunate to have a backyard and I also just inherited a dog with my girlfriend. While I do let the dog out back, I would never let him continually bark and make noise. Dogs will make a bit of noise from time to time and that is fine but letting him/her bark all the time just means you are a lazy and crappy dog owner. Take your dog inside where you are the only one that can hear it.
I live next door to a neglected yapper.
the dog just wants attention the owners cannot provide so whenever it senses someone outside it will bark and bark.
I go out to throw the garbage out, it will bark.
the neighbor across the hall comes home, it will bark.
There is so much noise in this city and people are complaining about barking, give me a break.
The dog's are probaly noisy cause he's fucking them. He's putting his human penis into their dog vaginas.
Dude, I know you have a reputation to uphold and all, but that was way over crossing the vomit line. It's Monday morning, you could have given us something easy to digest to start off the week.
BTW - Incessant dog barking, stereo playing, mr. softee ringing, car alarms howling...it doesn't matter, it's all damnable offenses even in a city as loud as NYC.
Haha. Nice.
Made me laugh....
>Ryder fired back at those aggravated, "Give me a break! Everybody in this city owns dogs. This is Manhattan. Move to Minnesota if you want quietness."
Yeah, how about "this is Manhattan, hire a dog trainer."
It doesn't matter where you live. A person shouldn't allowed their dogs to continuous bark especially during the evening or really early in the morning.
If he wants to hear dogs barking HE should move Minnesota. Why did he mention Minnesota anyway?
I solved a barking dog problem on our block once. Fed it a hot dog stuffed with rat poison pellets. The barking stopped.
no, you didn't, jerk off.
Now I know what a fag that owns 3 Pomeranians looks like.
You are a man, have 4 dogs, three of which are Pomeranians?!?!
Um, shouldn't this story be taking place in Chelsea?
maybe him and his boyfriend should walk their dogs more..

this is ridiculous. we have a very large dog in manhattan but we try to be as considerate as humanly possible to our neighbors. i know this is new york and some noise (garbage trucks, honking, etc) is unavoidable but this guy's behavior is completely inexcusable. i have no idea why he feels so entitled to impinge on his neighbors, but i'm just really grateful him and his yappy dogs don't live in my building.
What is the exact address of this mutt of mutts? I just moved into East 73rd street and it seems like I am near a dog pound. What an inconsiderate sob.
Just wanted to clarify my previous statements: Where do these mutts, i..e. dogs, reside, however many there are of them. And "sob" is meant to mean "supporter of barkers". Whatever other acronym comes to mind is up to the free imagination of the reader.
By the way, can anyone define for me if they believe that sociopath is an attributable trait in such cases?
Is there any website that can or should be created that identifies the location and names of barking muttholders so that their victims can take appropriate (legal) action? There must be the right to health and happiness without being subjected to obnoxious dogs of all species.
