I've got neighbors that keep a German shepherd tied up on their deck. Any time anyone or anything passes by it barks. It's annoying as all get out, and there's no way I can keep my window open to sleep at night. I'd go talk to them about it but there's no getting past that dog to knock on the door, and I've never once seen the people that live there. I'd put in a noise complaint with the city but, the neighbors are cops and my guess is it wouldn't take long at all for me to get pulled over after putting in a noise complaint on them.
