Barking dog

That was almost 30 years ago, though, so hopefully things have changed.

Today, in most urban areas, roosters would be considered outside the law, and the man would come and arrest your rooster(s).

Surprise, where I live, has good barking dog laws so I would call them. I actually called on my neighbors dog not too long ago and they don't leave it outside anymore.

I didn't read through all the replies, so forgive me if this was already said.

I'd start with a polite letter, saying, "You may not be aware of this..." I don't know what you put in yours, but I'd include a few suggestion: dog training, an anti-bark collar, etc.

Meanwhile, I'd keep trying to connect with the neighbors. It's a good excuse to introduce yourself, even if you end up not needing them.

You didn't mention the website, so I have no idea what that is. I'd call the ASPCA or the equivalent and say you're worried about the dog, and see if they have any input.

An update:

So last night was the third night of no dog barking. I know my neighbor didn't get my letter yet. The day I sent it the dog stopped barking. In fact, I don't even know if the dog is still there. Hadn't heard a peep.

Merry Christmas!
