I live in a four story condo complex. I am on the third story. Yahoo above me has a barking dog that will not stop. Barks every time he is not around which is usually 6pm to midnight. I have asked him politely to someone get the dog to stop and he laughs basically. I can not go up there anymore or I feel like I am going to shove my fist down his throat. Of course, I call the management company and they are gone for the day. I leave message after message and they tell me that they need someone to witness it. Round and round.
So, in my obvious childish ways, I am seeking revenge. I know the guy parties until late on the weekends and occasionally during the week. Sooooo, I am looking for a file that I can download to an MP3 that is a constant barking dog. I am going to hook it up to some speakers and place it against the ceiling while I am out for my morning workouts at 430am. Yes childish but I will feel so much better when I wake up at 11pm due to his damn dog.
Call the police. This is disturbance of the peace. Meet them where they can hear the dog barking; when they knock and nobody answers, you have both your “witness” and a case.
Police said that I have to file a report and that it takes two to three weeks for someone to respond to it. So, I asked, what if someone comes and right then and there the dog is not barking. They said, you will have to file another report.

I have tried all avenues except revenge!!!
I call BS. My neighbor (houses) left his dog out barking all night. About 2am I called the police, who came right away and met me at the guy’s front door. It never happened again.
Find out your jurisdiction’s definition of “disturbing the peace”, and file a complaint if it fits. I can’t think of a better form of revenge than a police record.
First of all who are you kidding with the 4:30A.M. workout crap. Since when is getting up to puke and piss a workout? You are lucky to be getting home at 4:30! Second, what did you do to the dog to get it to bark to begin with!!!
now, if the guy cannot constrain his dog, or if he has no dog license and your state requires one, this could turn into a situation where the dog is taken away.
Don’t be a baby and play a child’s game; this will get you nowhere quickly.
be an adult, and take the steps necessary to get real resolution to the problem.
Sorry, an individual was not available to walk a dog upstairs and have it bark when I was going through the place to purchase. I will keep it in mind though…
