Neighbor’s Barking Dog—A Letter of Complaint To Fix Your Troubles

New neighbors are always exciting—unless they have a loud dog. When the commotion becomes unbearable, don’t lose sleep—write a letter to your neighbor about the noise. When trying to find a convenient solution for your neighbor’s barking dog, a letter written in a friendly manner is excellent for avoiding conflict.

Are you not sure where to start? Be it noise, harassment, or loud pets—you can resolve any neighbor issue the easy way when you sign up for DoNotPay.

Why Write a Letter to a Neighbor About Their Barking Dog?

Besides the apparent reason—it annoying the hell out of you—some reasons why you should write a complaint letter are:

• The barking might bother other neighbors as well—you can ask other neighbors to sign your complaint letter and back you up on this issue—the more, the merrier!
• The dog might be dangerous to bypassers—if the dog is aggressive, the barking could result in a dog bite
• The dog might be suffering abuse or neglect, and the barking could be a cry for help—no animal deserves to suffer, and your actions could save the dog

When Should I Write a Letter to My Neighbors About the Barking Dog?

Before writing a friendly letter to your neighbor or filing a complaint about the barking dog, you should explore other possibilities:

• Talk to your neighbor and see what’s wrong—maybe the dog is having difficulties adjusting to its new home
• Your new neighbor’s dog could also be afraid of the moving-in process—for example, people carrying massive furniture around the house— and the dog might calm down when everyone settles
• Dogs often bark at people they don’t know—let the dog sniff you and give it a few treats so you’re not a stranger anymore

You tried everything you could, but the dog is still noisy, and your neighbors won’t do anything about it? It might take a complaint letter for your neighbors to take you seriously and to stop the barking.

How To Write a Complaint Letter About the Barking Dog by Yourself

Once you decide to take this step, you should get acquainted with everything your letter needs to contain.

Your complaint letter should include the following information:

1. Your name and address
2. The neighbors’ names and address
3. Your reason for writing a complaint letter
4. Your suggestion on how to resolve the problem
5. The consequences your neighbors will face if they don’t respond to the letter
6. Your signature

If you’re annoyed by the thought of having to write the letter by yourself, you can let DoNotPay make a demand letter for you before you can say ‘barking dog.’
