[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people do not think continuous barking is a problem. I ran into this problem when I lived in a condo building and my upstairs neighbor would leave dogs alone in their apartment to bark for hours. Not just their dog -- they'd have friends or family visit with dogs and they'd leave the dogs in the unit while they went out to dinner or sightseeing. These dogs were particularly bad because they were being locked up in an unfamiliar apartment with another dog. It was super annoying especially when it would happen on weekdays because I worked from home and I found it very distracting.

But when I approached my neighbor about it (in truly the friendliest, most polite way I could) they told me that's just "what dogs do" and if I didn't like it, I should live in an apartment building that allowed dogs.

Jokes on them because actually barking dogs are considered a noise violation, so I just started calling 311 when they'd leave dogs in their apartment. I also made recordings of the barking to be able to prove it often went on for hours. Magically, they stopped leaving dogs to bark in their apartment.

People are just really selfish. That's it. That's the whole explanation. But check your local regs to see if barking dogs can be reported as a noise violation![/quote]

I had a very similar neighbor who also laughed when I mentioned their barking dog to them.

I was friendly with the management staff at my apartment and on one very long & loud barking day after the dog was left along for 9+ hours I asked if one staff member would come up & have a listen.

They couldn't believe how loud that dog was and acted quite appalled when I said it was being left alone all day.

Didn't have any issues after that. [/quote]
