Having audio recording, from inside my home, of the dog barking from 1am to 4am really helped my case.
Some dogs have serious separation anxiety. When they are home alone they can bark non-stop for hours, I don’t know how the dogs vocal chords can handle it but somehow they can.

Thank you for the kind words. It is sad that we can't all get along - but it is what it is.
I understand and agree with you about dog barking can be annoying. I know that as I get older being woken from sleep can lead to not being able to get back to sleep - not enjoyable at all.
I have read many places how renters can and do have annoying habits - sad they are allowed in the same villas with residents, but I understand the economic incentives to some.
My reason for wanting AV monitoring while away from our house is so I know what is going on and with 2 way audio, I can try to calm the dogs by talking to them. And if it turns out they are barking frequently I know I have to take additional steps.
