have you talked to the neighbor?my next door neighbor used to let his dogs out at 5AM every morning. and every morning they would wake me up. so I just talked to him and asked that he please wait until 7:30 to put them out. he appologized and said of course.

god I hate dogs^^and that wasn't at all humorous
1/6/2009 12:05:37 PM
^ but it makes a lot more sense than "loud ass dog", which makes absolutely none whatsoeveradjective noun noun in which the first noun is unrelated to the second is just plain stupid

Uh try talking to your neighbor and ask him politely if he could do something about it?

^^ be neighborly and try to work out a way to let his dog outside a little later in the morning.however, for the record, between 7AM and 11PM, there ain't much the law will be able to do about it as long as the barking is below a certain decibel level. At least if you are going for a noise ordinance violation. There may, however, be a specific animal ordinance regarding loud animals. Allow me to google[Edited on January 6, 2009 at 1:12 PM.

Here is the Raleigh ordinance regarding nuisance animals. Look at #8 and see if you think that fits in this situation. If so, print this shit off and stick it on your neighbors door with #8 highlighted:Sec. 6-71. Nuisance animals.(a) Prohibited generally; exceptions. It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, possess, harbor or maintain an animal in such a manner as to annoy or disturb rights and privileges common to the public or to annoy or disturb persons in the enjoyment of private property. By way of example and not of limitation, the following are hereby declared to be a public nuisance and are, therefore, unlawful:(1) Getting into or turning over waste or garbage containers.(2) Walking on or sleeping on automobiles of another.(3) Damaging the real or personal property of anyone other than its owner.(4) Repeatedly being or running at large.(5) Being maintained in an unsanitary condition so as to be offensive to sight or smell.(6) Not being confined to a building or secure enclosure while in estrus.(7) Being vicious or chasing, snapping at, attacking, or otherwise molesting others including, pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicle passengers, or domestic animals.(8) Allowing or permitting an animal to bark, whine, howl or yowl in an excessive, continuous or untimely fashion, or to make other noise in such a manner so as to result in a serious annoyance or interference with the reasonable use and enjoyment of neighboring premises. Any person lodging such complaint shall be responsible for pursuing available judicial remedies by filing such action with the appropriate judicial authority.(9) Being housed or restrained less than five feet from a public street, road or sidewalk such that in the discretion of the chief, the location of the animal poses a threat to the general safety, health and welfare of the general public.(10) By virtue of number or type, being offensive or dangerous to the public health, safety, or welfare.(11) Being diseased or dangerous to the health of the public.(b) Complaint and notice. Upon their own initiative or upon receipt of a detailed written and signed complaint being made to the animal control unit by any of the town residents that any person is maintaining a nuisance animal, the animal control unit may cause the owner of the animal or animals in question to be notified that a complaint has been received and may cause the situation complained of to be investigated and a report and findings thereon to be reduced to writing by the investigating animal control officer.(c) Abatement. If the written findings of the investigating animal control officer indicate that the complaint is justified, then the chief shall cause the owner or keeper of the animal or animals in question to be so notified in writing, served by personal delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, and ordered to abate such nuisance within a reasonable time not to exceed seven days after notification, and may issue a citation for the violation. The chief may specify the particular abatement measures that must be taken, which measures may include, but are not limited to, a requirement that the animal be penned, or that a secure enclosure be erected or improved. In the event the owner of the animal is unknown and cannot be ascertained, the notice and order, along with a general description of the animal, shall be published in a local newspaper.(d) Impoundment upon failure to abate. If any person actually or constructively receiving notice in the manner herein described shall fail or refuse to abate the nuisance upon order of the chief within the specified time, the chief may cause the animal or animals in question to be seized and impounded in accordance with the provisions of section 6-134.(e) Redemption; destruction. If the owner shall so request in writing within five days of the impoundment, an animal that has been impounded may be redeemed upon the owner's execution of a written agreement to comply with the abatement order and payment of all sums due hereunder. If no such written request is made, or if such a request is made, but a written agreement to comply with the abatement order is not delivered to the chief within five days of the impoundment, then the animal(s) shall be deemed abandoned and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of section 6-137.(Code 1982, § 4-21; Ord. No. 01-022, § 1, 11-8-2001)http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusncodcary_raleigh.htm#s71[Edited on January 6, 2009 at 1:14 PM. Reason : source]

The neighbor could take the dog for more walks, put him in a different part of the house, I don't know, it is the neighbor's responsibility.

google is your friend young jedi.plus I went through a similar situation and have been on both ends. the one with the loud barking dog next door, and the one with the loud barking dog. I know Greensboro's sound ordinances backwards and forwards.
1/6/2009 1:23:39 PM
if the dog is in a back yard, let it out...if it's inside, find an unlocked door or window & let it out
1/6/2009 1:26:31 PM
it's in the backyardand it's still barking
1/6/2009 2:03:30 PM
they have some surgery where they can remove its vocal cords or something so it cant barkKidnap the dog one day when the owner is gone, get the procedure done, then return it before the owner gets backproblem solved

why the hell would i shell out $50+ to shut up my neighbor's dog?and jesse, i have no idea what the dog is barking at. he just sits in the backyard all day, chained up, and barks until he runs out of breath. then he stops for a few minutes and starts it up again.hell, i'd be barking my ass off if i were on a chain, out in the cold rain, with a big backyard that i should be able to run around in, everyday from 7am til 6pm
1/6/2009 3:00:22 PM
leave a note on their door that says something to the effect of, "shut your dog up, or I'll shut it up for you"
1/6/2009 3:02:19 PM
why is everyone taking the hostile approach? he most likely hasn't even said anything to the neighbor about it.
1/6/2009 3:04:12 PM
I have been in similar situations. It always ends up in the legal route, if not the hostile route. People are bastard coated bastards with a bastard filling.
1/6/2009 3:07:19 PM
well if the dog is chained out in the yard with no shelter from the elements, then call animal control. that's illegal and they will cite him for it.they won't tell the neighbor who called, so you always have deniability. [Edited on January 6, 2009 at 3:09 PM. Reason : a]
1/6/2009 3:08:48 PM
see, I'd be worried if I did that then animal control would take the dog and put it in a shelter, which would suck for the owner and the dog
