My wife and I have lived in the same place for a couple years...the same people have lived below us for the entire time. They (late 20's, male & female) own 2 small fluffy dogs in a 'no-dog apartment'. BUT you can have 'companion animals' if you have a note from a physician.



Whenever they go out at night, they seem to lock the dogs in the bathroom, and the dogs bark continually until they get home at 2am.



I have seen the guy wear an airforce logo'd jacket. So I don't know if he is military, or PTSD or something, on the other hand, I have talked to people who just will say anything to a physician to get around a building 'no pet' policy.



Last year they got a new subwoofer, and were pretty cool if I went to ask them to turn it down. But what do I do about the dogs??!?!?!??! They will seriously bark for 4 hours straight. At 8:30pm I put a nice annonomys note on their door about how you can hear the dogs barking from the hallway for hours and how it is not nice to the dogs. When I went outside the nice elderly neighbors down the hall had their door open and were standing in the threshold, I asked what was going on, and she said "I am just trying to find out where this dog was howling from." Arfcom, any advice? I don't want to be the dick neighbor, but this shit is ridiculous.

It should really be the landlords dirty work to make them follow the rules. If the dogs are disturbing, they should go, If they leave the dogs at home when they go out, they're not really "companions", are they?

you have a landlord, call them about the dog situation.

Leave them a note.

Everything you wrote about hearing them in your post, put in the note.

Politely request that they figure a better way to store their animals when they are away.

Post follow up next week.

Nuisance pets are not legal in most cities. Also, a nuisance pet is a lease violation. If TALKING to your NEIGHBOR does not solve this, apartment manager first, then cops.

I feel ya, OP.



My neighbors dogs are the same way.  They bark non stop whenever she isn't home.  They don't make a PEEP when she is home.




She probably thinks they're the quietest dogs in the world.

Any apartment tennant who buys a new subwolfer is a bag of dicks.  You give up your right to bass when you are an apartment dweller.
