In order of practicality, your options are basically:
- Tell them to take the dog inside, and be civil about it
- Call the police over a noise complaint
- File a formal nuisance complaint (not recommended due to the financial and time cost, as well as the further strain between you and your neighbor)
- Train some kind of bear or equally impressive animal to fight the dog, but secretly

- Tell them to take the dog inside, and be civil about it He doesn't have "inside dogs" both of his dogs get off of their chain for about 30 mins a day.
I thought other neighbors would have complained by now. German Shepherd, it's loud.

She mentioned storms earlier so it seems like her vacation is going downhill. Hope she's OK though.

Condition yourself to sleep through noise. Will be hard, but once you can sleep through the dog barking, you'll be able to sleep through anything.
I had to get over being unable to sleep near people that snore when I was in Boot Camp. I got next to no sleep my first week in. Sleeping in a compartment with 83 other dudes, bout half of them loud snorers.
Basically, get into bed, don't think about sleep. The dog gonna bark, you gonna be like, "Man I can't sleep with this dog barking." Instead, read something. Play a handheld. Don't think about sleep. Think, muse over your day. Don't think about sleep. Don't think about being tired the next day. Let your body relax itself naturally. You fall asleep, it wakes you up eventually, repeat process of relaxing. Eventually you'll condition your body to disregard the noise.
Also you could go to bed earlier than he starts barking. if his barking is routine. If you get your sleep in earlier, it might screw with your schedule, but your new schedule would go like, Work > Sleep > play > work > sleep > play, instead of Work > Play > Sleep etc.

I grew up right by train tracks and it was noisy as hell before they put up a noise barrier (used to just be a chain-link fence)

Probably should have put it up earlier, kids shouldn't see the police looking for body parts along the tracks after a girl was hit <_<

Was a bit scary I left my room and went to sleep with dad for the night. There were a couple more quakes after the strong one so it was hard to get much sleep.
Italy is strongly quaky all over unfortunately.

It sounds like something that should be followed with - "2 HOUR GAMER MIX" and have a background on youtube of a League of Legends character.

Ok, serious quest here.
Neighbor has a dog chained up in his back yard that barks loudly all night, right in the direction of my window and it keeps me up. Ambien, Xanax, nothing helps because it repeatedly wakes me up.
Despite wanting to, I can't shoot it so what are my legal options here? It keeps me up, so when I go to work, I'm either exhausted or I spend money on energy drinks. On top of this, when the dog starts in, I'm pretty much trapped. Nowhere else to sleep, so I stress out, get anxious, etc.
Wtf do I do?
EDIT: Also, I've watched. The dog wanders around, barking at nothing. Nothing is triggering this, it just does it. My advice, there's numerous ultrasonic bark deterrent devices on the market that actually work. I'd suggest something rated for outdoor use, such as this:
Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark DeterrentDo they make one so powerful, it traumatizes the dog so it has some PTSD of Vietnam or a cis male not checking his privilege? :)

Maybe an odd question, have you spoken to your neighbour about it?
He's probably so used to barking that he doesn't realize that it's bothering other people.
If he's not open for reason, it's something you can probably go to the authorities with.

He strikes me as a P&Rer...so I highly doubt he's open to reason. I thought someone has said something about it to him but I'm not completely sure.

Usually these things use the same frequency as a dog whistle. It works, though. My mother has two mouthy Chihuahuas and they stfu when she uses hers, which looks like a little flashlight.
And because I know it works, that's why it's being suggested. On top of that, talk to your neighbor about it. If he refuses to be reasonable and keep his hound under control, contact the police. In most states, it's at least a class C misdemeanor falling under breach of peace, leash laws, and noise pollution laws to let a dog bark uncontrollably for no reason. In fact, it may even be something the local Animal Control might even be called in for if it's bad enough. I know Yorkies are the worst, I like with three of those hellspawn but even they shut up and go to sleep at night.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
