virgode I really don't think that is the right choice.. I agree that the owners probably don't care about the dog but letting it out of the yard could cause more problems than its worth. Such as you Trespassing on someone else property could cause real problems..and the dog could bite or attack you. Letting the dog out and it gets run over wouldn't be a good thing either.. I would not try and cause conflict with the owners of this dog and walking into their property even though you think they may not be paying attention to the barking dog they just might be paying more attention than you think and you could be arrested.
bluebelt1234-Just try the Super Bark Free Outdoor training device it just might work, making loud noises sometimes stop the dog from barking. Or like pitt says try giving the dog some toys or a huge dog bone to chew on see if that helps..
No, I'm sorry, sometimes you've got to get very assertive,
The Human society, animal shelter, animal rescue, someone.
That dog would disappear to a new home.
The bottom line is the owner doesn't care and hes not the neighbors responsibility.
People who do this to animals are cruel and should be fined.
Anyone who leaves there dog outside in a residential neighborhood
to bark constantly bc they don't want him inside, are freaking
rude and ignorant, they don't deserve a pet.
EDIT*
All the advice you given wolfeyes are great suggestions with one
exception, this is NOT the OPs dog, why should the expense be out of their pocket?

I agree with you in some terms, And yes I agree they don't deserve this dog due to letting it bark all the time, but there are other ways of handling the situation. I just don't think its a good idea for them to let the dog lose. bluebelt1234 wrote- I have called the Humane Society and it still barks ALL THE TIME. I also called the cops because it was even barking at midnight. So if they have called them and nothing was done what good would it do to let the dog lose and cause problems when you can try other things that might help. I understand you shouldn't have to pay for stuff to quiet the dog, but if nothing else what can you do.
I think it is crazy for people to WANT a dog, but yet put it in an area where it isn't happy. That is just selfish. Therefore, I would help the dog out by calling animal control to report the dog being unattended for long periods of time.
Heres what you do, tonight when he barks non-stop, walk over
either let him off his leash or out of the yard, hopefully he
wont follow you back home, then call the spca to pick him up.
Sometimes you've got to get creative in your thinking, any owner
who allows that day in and day out doesn't care about the dog
or the barking nuisance factor.
I don't think they care about the poor dog. They keep the dog in the apartment alone all day and night. I can imagine the dog is messing up their apartment pretty bad since it is never let out.
How sad....if thats the case then I would report them to the ASPCA, they will come out and investigate the situation.. not humane society or cops.. they will do nothing.
If the dog is inside thats a completely different scenario.
Thats a property manager issue bc its an apt., write a letter
stating the problem, mail certified return receipt, keep acopy for
yourself. I was thinking he was outside and your could do
some dognapping, poor pooch.
Since it's an apt community, I would go straight to the managing office and complain as often as possible. Get your neighbors to go, too. Make written complaints and phone calls as well as visits in person. You're more likely to get action from the apt people than from the police.
Keep calling the police over and over and over and don't let up. I do not recommend letting it off it''s leash for fear of it getting hit and killed by a car. I have dogs of my own and foster dogs for a rescue organization and I would NEVER allow them to sit outside and bark at all. The people behind me have a lab and tie it up to the basketball pole in between the garage and the house - the echo chamber. One day they were outside and the dog was at the end of it's leash just barking for attention and I got on a ladder and asked these people if they were out of their mind! I'll can tolerate a little dog barking during the day but after 11 pm that's enough for me. I just kept calling the police (you do not have to tell them your name) over and over and over every night. The dog doesn't bark anymore at night.
