If you let the city do its thing, it will go to level three. Surgery to remove the voice box. (Silent “bark, bark.”. I did it and it works. Or, some other things i’ve done to my neighnors is take lots or crab and shrimp juice, combine with powdered milk, use a seed spreader or other shaker, add water or dew and voila, a horrible stink that will never EVER leave. I mean EVER! Eggs, acid and spray paint are all good alternatives. And you THINK I’m kidding?! Adding concrete and warer to their mailbox is also a handy way of saying, “leave.”

The other problem is creating an enemy out of your neighbor. I know that confrontation sounds fun to some people (I know I personally love it), but discretion really can be the better part of valor when it comes to neighbors.

Shoot the dog and blame it on someone else.

Folks, Animal Control can’t even manage to keep roving bands of pitbulls from the streets … (dramatic pause) … where our children play.

What makes you think they’re going to bend over backwards to solve a nuisance?

(Waiting for T-Gar to say something like, That’s what happens when you let a government bureaucracy do a job that should, as should law enforcement in general, be done by private companies for profit. Ten … nine … eight …)

I think the above post says she did call Animal Control, and there was a wait period of 30 days before someone could come out to investigate.

Why not call animal control? They will pay a visit to the dogs owner and give them a verbal warning that a complaint has been filed. If they do nothing after that then you report them again to animal control and they come back with a ticket..I believe it’s $150.00. That should get the owners attention. The neighbor will never know who has reported the noise violation because it is against policy to reveal who the complaint is from.

Nah, I always sat at the back of the room, waited for everyone to answer the question wrong, then raised my hand and gave the correct answer.

Then I went back to reading the paper, Rolling Stone, or Time.

I would try what News Junkie suggests.

Whatever you do, *don’t* take ConcernedNeighbor’s so-called “advice”.

@Bethany. Not to get personal, but you remind me of the girl in school, who always sat in front of the room, raised her hand everytime the teacher asked for a volunteer and sneered at the boys in the back row.
