My neighbor has a Labrador dog clipped on to chain link fence that is between our properties. The fence was up before I moved in and the neighbors are renters that don't know and don't care.
To summarize my problem id like to know if the only way to solve this issue is involving the police? I've asked the neighbor to move the dog and they did for one day. Then they moved the dog back. I've moved the dog myself and te neighbors move him back. The dog is right by my bedroom and I work shift work so I get up at 4 am and sleep is very important to me. On top of this the dog has ripped the chain link enough where he can fit through the hole and end up on my property. And I have kids so to keep me from doing very bad things I'd like to prevent the dog from being a future problem. Ive called code enforcement and they say to call animal control. I've called animal control and they say to call the police. I've called the landlord and they say to call the police. Now is this a legit reason to call the police at 2 am to make the dog stop barking?
What can I do?
