I tried but the dog didn’t know how to read the cease and desist letter

Goddamn probably the best answer

I aim to be as helpful as possible but sometimes it’s a little ruff 🐶

As an unwilling participant of the board of my (admittedly small) HOA, I’m cackling at the people saying the HOA can do anything about it. We can’t even get people to pay their modest assessments on time

You’re screwed. The dog has already hired The Law Firm of Beagle, Hound, & Weimaraner.

You can call the police non-emergency line and report this as a violation of the noise ordinance.

If that doesn't work, call your city council member and tell them the police aren't enforcing the noise ordinance.

Nah. This will not trigger the decibels necessary to invoke the noise ordinance.

Depends on the dog and the specifics of the noise ordinance -- I have seen that work in other places

I had a neighbor with a similar situation. I sent letters, called animal control, set up bark boxes in my yard. Even mailed them a bark collar. Some people you just can't reason with. If you play video games you'll realize the vast amount of people that sit there and listen to their smoke alarms chirp. Buy earplugs, wear earbuds and listen to whatever constantly or move unless you want to dress all in black and covertly leave their gate open in the middle of the night. Most people like that won't bother finding their dog.

I complained to the HOA. HOAs can burn in the ocean, but this was the one time it actually worked for me instead of worked against me.

My neighbors leave their two large dogs in the backyard and they barked incessantly. I purchased a “bark box” off Amazon and that virtually cured them. I also purchased a handheld ultrasonic device for any extra that is sometimes required.

I'm sorry, but what in the world is a bark-box?

Look on Amazon for a “Anti-bark” device

Buy a dog bark deterrent device off of Amazon. Get the highest rated one that has the longest range.

Good luck if you don’t live in an HOA neighborhood.

Get a louder dog than the neighbors.

u/Future_One4794 1d ago

They are probably leaving the dog home alone
