I'm going to climb up on my roof and blow tranquilizer darts over the fence. He just barked for an hour and a half straight. He FINALLY stopped for about 5 minutes, and then heard a train whistle and barked for 10 more minutes, stopped for 5 minutes, and then someone's car alarm went off... so now it's dog bark and car alarm. Awesome. This happens pretty much every day. There is alot of train activity around here, apparently he doesn't like the noise.
I can't wait for my neighbor to get home so I can tell him how freaking annoying his dog is. I wish my DH would handle this for me, I really don't want to deal with a confrontation right now, but since DH isn't the one home during the day (and probably wouldn't say anything if he was anyhow) I guess it's up to me. Would it be too passive aggressive of me to just call code enforcement? I feel like if it were my dogs (which would NOT happen b/c when my dogs bark I give them about 20 seconds before I bring them inside) I would want whoever had the problem to let me know so I could be extra careful not to bother them, and so I would have a chance to fix the problem before any citations were issued.
Re: If my neighbor's dog doesn't stop barking
I'm sorry but I'm sitting here cracking up bc I have a mental pic of a pregnant lady teetering along the roof with a dart gun
That would be really annoying tho!
Ugh!!!! I feel your pain. I have two beagles that live behind us for the last 10 years, and they stay outside fro 6am-6pm or later. They howl like grown men being electrocuted. ALL DAY. Sometimes i want to give them a cyanide bread roll. They both all day howl;
ARRHRHGHGHRHRHRHSARRRGGGHHHHH.
Die.
Since this happens everyday (and not just once in awhile), I would call code enforcement.
People need to take responsibility for their pets. Leaving their dog outside all day to get bored and bark is not the sign of a good pet owner.

My grandma had this issue with a neighbor's dog and called animal protection on them. Turns out, their dog was barking because it was tied up on a short rope in the sun all day with no access to water.
If there's nothing wrong, I don't think your neighbor will have his dog taken away or anything, but I wouldn't necessarily warn him ahead of time just in case. He knows his dog is barking all day! You shouldn't have to tell him that it's annoying. And if the dog needs help....
