If the neighbor tells you to pound sand, call the authorities. However, you might find them to be cooperative. Good luck.
I had one neighbor tell me his dog's barking was "just what dogs do". I said, "Well, crack dealers just sell crack. That doesn't make it OK." and called Animal Control. People with that kind of arrogant attitude usually only respond to a threat.
