Barking Dog - What is Too Early?
I have a neighbor whose dog barks non-stop (it’s a yapper) from 7 in the morning on. I nicely said something to her and was told “its after 7 am.” I told her this is what wakens us every morning. She told me too bad. Am I being unreasonable in asking someone to keep their…

She told me too bad. Am I being unreasonable in asking someone to keep their dog quiet for a little later?

Can anyone speculate as to why someone like this even wants to have a pet? The owner clearly doesn’t like the animal or enjoy any companionship with it. Is it just pure spite?
Don’t talk to the owners. make the necessary calls. You will be much happier.
but you can secretly torture them, that is always my favorite.
I love animals. I will ask politely once and then curse the hell out of any neighbor inconsiderate enough to get a dog that barks constantly, knows the neighbors can hear it and does not do anything about it. It should be CLEARLY obvious to any dog owner in an apartment building or someone who lets their dog out at 7:00 a.m. in a backyard (because they are too lazy to walk it) that it is probably bugging the shit out of people.
Then I will absolutely constantly call 311, ASPCA, file a summons and complaint in small claims court with nuisance being my basis.
I am so over people who have no respect for others. It’s just such a no-brainer.
As Bernie Mack (rip) would say “America” wake up.
You could also look into buying a no-bark device and place it by the wall. It will emit a high frequency sound when the dog barks and should hopefully stop the barking.
There are “bark collars” which zap a dog when worn and it barks…it only takes once or twice (like invisible fences) and they just won’t bark when it is on.
We had two neglected yappers outside next door and I found it cheaper and easier to throw them rawhides or bones. After a while not only did this quiet them down significantly but now they don’t bark through the fence when I’m out back. Rawhides are cheap at the dollar store and for peace and quiet it’s a huge bang for your buck. The owners likely won’t know or care where the dog’s getting its treats.
here is a law actually that a dog cannot bark (at ANY time of the day or night) for more than a certain amount of minutes in a row (seriously, look it up). my neighbor across from had a dog like that for like a year, but the dog eventually grew up. people who can’t train their dogs in dense urban environments suck balls.

Or…you can get a rescuer to steal the dog.
CACC is a kill shelter, so if they do end up taking the dog, it may end up dead. Just sayin’.
Yeah, deal with 311 and ASPCA but stay away from the neighbor. You will get nowhere with that person and make
your life worse by interacting with them. Somebody who
would abuse an animal like that, then act in such an anti-social manner with their neighbors has wires that aren’t touching. Stay away from them, let the city and the ASPCA deal with them. Also, get other neighbors to call too.
