To preface this post, I do have two small dogs, so I am dog tolerant :--)

I have two neighbors with small yappy dogs, who leave the house for hours on end and leave the dogs outside. I get the fact that dogs will bark at the trash men, gardeners, etc. This is way beyond that. They bark all day, sometimes starting at 6:30 am and continuing throughout the day. It's gotten so bad I cannot leave windows open, eat outside, etc. I work remote, and there's nothing worse than a barking dog in the background during a conference call.

So, I need to approach both owners. Should I leave a note on their front doors, or try to discuss the issue with them?

I don't want to go straight to Animal Control without trying to address it with the owners first.

Luckily there are a few of us whom are fed up, so maybe we can get something to change.

Thoughts?
