We are working through this. Our issue is with folks in a CYV in an adjoining neighborhood and they let the dogs out unattanded and they bark and bark. When this happens at 6 AM it is is not quiet the way to start the day. We have been here since 2007 and this is the first time. It really changes what was a very quiet and wonderful hood. An evening on the lanai has changed dramatically.
Here is what we have done. We called "community standards" to ask what we should do. They informed us if we wanted, they will go over and make one visit to make the people aware. They will only make one visit then you have to call animal control.
We decided to instead leave them a nice note (my better half would not let my write it) making them aware of how loud it can be for us and others. A note is kind of a cop out, but we do not know them and felt uncomfortabke knocking on the door and complaining the first time we meet. I am hoping to catch them outside to talk, but there is a wall between us and I have not seen them.
It seems to be getting better, will see how it works.....
Good luck. I have always been a dog owner I have never understood how folks let their dogs bark with no consideration for others, but what can I say...
