We used to have a similar situation here. There were two different houses with dogs that barked non-stop. Unfortunately, animal control and the police won't do anything if the owner isn't home, which is when the dogs barked. Big help they were.

Finally both families moved. Good riddance.

Noreen, what's worse: living next door to the incessantly barking "dogs from hell," or neighbors who won't speak to you? Personally, I'd opt for the silent treatment over the noise pollution. Less headache.

My next door neighbors on both sides each have two dogs, but they're responsible dog owners and would never let their dogs become a nuisance.
