Update: The roaring chainsaws have been silenced. The tree is down and now in pieces all over their yard. Hasn't been touched since last Saturday
Today, the guests and I have been enjoying the Best of Alice Cooper blaring at a million decibels..
Uhg, I feel for you. I was talking to another B&B owner and she just had new neighbours move in next door with their FIVE dogs. And apparently their electric fence is not completely effective. Does not bode well for business.

No it been a real problem. They have 6 dogs and no fenced yard. . . . and the blaring Alice Cooper? Not the kids, the
parents!
Just shoot me

Coming from a dog breeding family, I would check your zoning and see how many dogs are allowed. Very often it is only up to three or four, and for more than that you have to be in a dog kennel zoning. This could be a way to get the dog problem lessened, especially if you can turn the authorities on to them without giving your name...these zoning laws are in place to protect people from excessive barking which drives ME nuts.

Yes, I have been down that road. Prior to Innkeeping, I used to raise and show German Shepherds and our county does not require a kennel license. They only require all dogs are innoculated for Rabies and each one licensed with the boro and must be confined to the owners property when not on leash.
As far as the neighbors, I have had the humane investigator out here on several occassions because in the summer they would lock their dogs in the basement for days on end while they went to the beach. Those dogs would howl and cry all night long. Current law says that unless they are deprived of food and water, (doesn't have to even be Dog Food, go figure) then its not a cruelty case. Its noise pollution and you must document it and go before the board to make a case) The whole thing is a total clusterf**k!
I have the neigbors on video for allowing their dogs to roam at large, so far nothing has been done by the county. The neighbors then retaliate by using various techniques as previously described. Their new one is to build a huge smokey scrap fire in the backyard when the wind is blowing towards my place. Preferably on weekends and especially when the windows are open.
One very busy (we were completely booked) 4th of July they had threw this this huge party with hundreds of people. They hired a professional heavy metal band complete with stage, concert sound, lighting and a
mosh pit!. They set set this up as close to my property line as they could possible get. Right on the fence line. I had drunk partiers barfing in my back yard.
I had to call in the State Police when things got out of hand. The neighbors have never forgiven me and its been on ever since.
