Neighbor dilemna

[Guru]

How do ask your neighbors to try and keep their dog from barking incessantly without sounding like an ass. Getting woke up 3 days in a row now working nights is killing me. All the while they are leaving the dog outside for hours at a time. Something they didn't used to do.

Since I have to sleep from 8:30 to 4:00 everyday, getting woke up all the time like this is becoming a problem now. It doesn't help that my bedroom is right next to where their dog does this.

They are great neighbors BTW. Never had an issue until this.

Buy one of those cheap bark collars and ask them if they will put it on him during the day.

Change your WIFI name to "shut that ****ing dog up, you piece of monkey shit."

That'll do it.

Yeah, that's the place to start. As long as you don't come off as an ass berating them, most reasonable people would at least make an effort to be more quick to shush the dog if they know you're sleeping next door.

you could explain your situation to them and see if they can accommodate you.

I would try to use a fan to muffle out the sound if it were me though.

Yeah, I already have a fan and noise machine running all day. the dog is louder.

oh that sucks, when my fan is on high it pretty much muffles all the sounds out for me and I live in Boston where houses are 2 feet apart from each other.

Rod, give one of these a try. MUCH more effective than the regular "static" white noise machines.

I just don't see how that little thing could be loud enough to mask barking literally 10' away from me. I have kick ass speaker right by me on my bed that I use the Ipod app PureSleep with and even that can't mask it. This ain't no cheap speaker either.

This.

Turn on the fan and put the pillow over you head.

[Reerun_KC]

Then head back to sleep.
