We have a dog problem. :P

My neighborhood is a nice area with parks and trees, but there's just this one problem: we have a neighbor who lives a street away, and each day she lets her bloodhound out into her backyard. He howls and howls nonstop a few times a week, sometimes for up to fifteen minutes. Sometimes he howls at midnight, and others at six in the morning before I'm even up for the day.

My mom already complained twice but she pretty much just said to get lost. Any solutions to this noisy dog, or have similar problems? This is what it sounds like, except slightly more muffled and in a deeper tone (go to the end of the video).

You can imagine how annoying it is!

Get a mature siamese cat and let it loose in the ladies yard. The dog will loose.

Seriously though, I once had a similar problem with neighbors, but it was their kids and the lady reving her car for 10 min every morning. What did I do? I recorded it and played it back to them when they were trying to sleep. They moved. Do unto others as they are doing unto you really pisses people off.

Did that already, more than once. It wasn't a "high-priority" case, so they just ignored it.

Gotta catch those people smoking weed.

If there is multiple police reports of you complaining, and you tried to talk to them. You can take them to court and try to sue them.

Or if you live in an area with a home owners association or something similar you can try speaking with them.

15 minutes isn't really that much, and its not like its happening every night. If it really bothers you, maybe you should try earplugs.

Knock on their door very loudly on the nights the dog howls.... Or paint the dog pink!
