I debated posting about this because it's mostly whining. I may be in a no win situation, and if it's alright, I'd like to share. Maybe you guys have some experience with this?
My next door neighbor has a dog that barks constantly, but especially at night. I mean that thing will wake me from a dead sleep at 3am. It's like that episode of Seinfeld
I am at the point where I may have to go next door and ask him/them if they can do something about it. Now, I don't fear confrontation, but I don't like upsetting my neighbors. Also, I'm dreading this because I doubt they have many options. They're renters, so it's entirely possible that the dog is outside 24 hours because they aren't allowed to have pets inside. This doesn't leave many options.
My only stick in this is OKC code enforcement. They do issue citations for barking dogs (I looked it up). But if I call code enforcement they may take a look at my garage and decide it needs new paint (which is what they did to my other neighbor) or tell me my trees need trimming, who knows what I could end up with.
Also if I call code enforcement and it upsets my neighbor, as it would upset anyone, suddenly he's calling code enforcement on me.
BTW, I have two dogs. They don't bark outside. They don't even bark when the neighbors' dog is barking. The only time they bark is when someone comes to the front door. I like it that way.
