I’ll start by saying that I love dogs. I had a few growing up and plan to have one again soon.
My neighbours dog barks all the time. Literally all the time. I’ve gone through the city bylaw department. They had me talk to the owners, file a complaint, and lastly record any instances of barking in excess of 30 mins over a 2 week period. Now it’s a point where I will have to go to court if I want to take it further.
Moving is always an option (renting right now) but my location is really convenient for work and other things, rent is a good price, and aside from the deranged dog it’s a good neighborhood. Anyone ever had to deal with something like this before??? Ultimately I would rather move than go to court, but I’ll be moving to a less convenient location and paying more all because of a stupid dog.
On a side note… what the hell is the point of a bylaw department if they don’t enforce anything. I have to do all the work for them, even gather witnesses if I go to court. Lame.
