Check your local laws, but in most places you can call and report dogs that are barking at night. You can also usually report a dog that is barking constantly for 15min or more during the day.

This is the worst, especially in the suburbs. When I finally called on my psychopath backyard losers the Animal Control officer stated clear and bold: "hounds should be illegal in the suburbs...". Spoiler: they are not.
After calling AC, these same people have gone on to harass my family. Flipping off my partner and young kids at elementary SCHOOL. Playing explicit death-metal music as soon as their webcams alert them we are in our yard.. I'll never get over hearing "..hey Alexa..", cue hateful music that never happened before (it stops once we are back in our home). I've talked to two attorneys and there is nothing we can do, aside from embarrassing and reaching civil suits. We've been in this neighborhood for almost 30 years and have never had an issue. They've been here for 3 years.
Anyways, long rant about an awful circumstance. And before anyone posts about "I'd do 'this or that' to them.." keep in mind that if litigation occurs, the last thing I will have documented is a harassment response from me and mine.
Lol, thanks for reading! If only you could pick your "neighbors"!!!
Yikes. Hope they eventually leave you alone. That sounds rough
Jesus Christ I donβt even let my dog bark during the day. I always bring him inside. What the hell is wrong with people?
I feel so lucky. My dog rarely barks. I can leave him outside and nothing. If the back door latches and he can't get back in he'll give a couple barks to alert me. He occasionally barks when we get deliveries, but that's really rare.
I can appreciate your frustration as I also have some neighbors with perpetually barking dogs, but I think you may want [email protected], [email protected], or similar instead.
Other than having some empathy that maybe the neighbor has been legitimately trying and failing and the dog just refuses to stop barking and they're stressed out and don't know what to do about it, it's more likely that they're just being pieces of shit as you say.
If you're getting a dog, learn to train your dog and that includes learning how to stop them from barking all night long.
Dog trainers exist for a reason
