there is a specific code regarding animal noise. They may not allow their dog to bark and disturb your quiet enjoyment. It is a $100 fine.

Montgomery County Police, Animal Services Division via the police non-emergency number, 301.279.8000

Here is the number to call.[/quote]

Don't count on it.

Several years ago our backyard neighbors went away for the month of July and left their 2 dogs outside in a tented temporary fenced-in pen.  No doghouse or cool area.
The dogs were given fresh water and food each day by a neighborhood teenager.  
The dogs stayed up barking every night until about 2 a.m.    Hours of barking.
And wow, when there were summer thunderstorms they went nuts!

We called both of the above.
MC Police came during the day.   Neighbors obviously not home.  Not sure if they left a note or fine or if anything ever happened.  $100 surely would have been low in my mind.
Animal control came.  Since the dogs had shelter, food and drink, nothing happened there either.

This went on for 4 weeks.

I'm sure I could not have a teen-aged rock band play in our garage for 4 weeks or blast the stereo until the wee hours, but apparently 2 barking dogs is just fine.

The family finally returned and sold their house within a year.  Thank goodness.[/quote]
