Yeah it's them. She told the other neighbor that she was reporting them to the county for excessive barking. That dog almost never barks.

My dog is never outside at night and frankly she's rarely outside alone. The barking is at 2 pm at squirrels when I'm right there. That's why this is so ridiculous.

Can you report kids for excessive noise? Because if so, I'd like to file some complaints. Five of them to be precise.

Have you actually talen the husband aside and talked to him about this? Including the fact that he is now making enemies of ALL his neighbors. If that doesnt move the ball, maybe get a note from an atty (I hear Henry Ford works cheap) and walk up, hand deliver to the husband, with the other neighbors along side you.
If that doesnt work, you mentioned they have kids, yes? In honor of passover, use this ten step plan.
1. Mark their door with blood
2. Toss frogs into their yard
3. Unleash a barrel of honey and then ten thousand flies IN their house
...
10. Death of the first child.
Hey, good enough for the Lord, good enough for me.

I like the petition idea. I would also take the petition to them acting like I didn't know they reported me. That would be awesome because she either doesn't sign it and she looks like a complete #####, or she does and she has no room to maneuver going forward. I would include a picture of the dog on the petition. This is my dog, and I have a lot cuter picture.

She barks at squirrels and other dogs, I tell her to stop if it's anything else and she does. I had a neighbor in San Antonio who left their dog out all day and that dog barked non stop, this is not that situation at all. My other Westie rarely barked at anything, he just growled. He did bark at airplanes though because I told him there was a "kitty kat" on them. Thankfully none of the pilots reported it to the county.

I got reported for a barking dog. Big old chocolate lab and she was loud. Had a repairman over to fix a fridge and the nanny put her outside so the guy could work. She barked and barked. Guy behind us reported it. Animal cop came to the house with a warning. I asked who complained and he said I'd have to get that at the animal shelter nowhere near my house. Tossed the kids in the car and went there immediately. Once I found out who it was, I wrote an apology letter, explained the situation and urged him to the extent it happened again to call me first, I'd correct the situation. No need to call the animal cops. He agreed, we shook hands and that was that. Course he is 6'5", built like a brick ####house and owned a gym. Playing nice was the best option.

Along these lines I have a ##### ex cop who lives behind my vacation rental. I installed a crawl fan in the vent directly facing his home and connected it to an outlet that I can control from my phone. On nights I know his windows will be open I flip the fan on from my couch 120 miles away. On nights when I bored I'll set up a schedule for it to go on and off every 5 min for a couple of hours

One post of the many suggested approaching and speaking to the neighbor. Everyone else suggest escalation and retaliation.
Sit down, and consider it from her point of view. She probably felt like she that was her best option, whether you agree with it or not. Brainstorm a list of solutions to this issue, get a list of like 10. Then ask her if you two can sit down and work through it, ask her to explain her point of view, repeat it back and confirm so she knows you understand. Finally ask her to come up with a list of ideas, ideally 5, and write them down. Next to that list add some of your ideas. If you have a common solution that is workable, go for it. If not ask her to keep thinking on it and schedule a follow up in a day or so.

Did you get fined? The animal cop said I get one warning, the next time it was $150 fine. I didn't ask what was after that.

I would normally agree with this but she has already reported another neighbor for the same thing, and she tried to bully me over the trees in my yard. She's not going to be reasonable, and although I'm not going to escalate for now, I am going to take action. The petition idea is great and I'm gonna start there and work my way up to dodge ball and child protective services. I've seen her leave her 6 month old baby on the porch alone for five minutes and her older kids hanging out of a moving car with no seatbelts.
I've been sitting on my deck for an hour with my dog, she hasn't barked once.

No, no fine and I'm not sure how they could assess a fine on alleged barking anyway. They did send two dog registration forms though because my dogs weren't registered. So the complaint was for two dogs, one of which has since passed, and she was so sick the last year she couldn't bark.Did you get fined?

Stuff like this drives me nuts. What happened to people talking to each other? When I have an issue with a neighbor, I knock on their front door. Heck, I had neighbors partying outside at 3 and 4 in the morning before we moved, complete with sound system and karaoke. They'd pass out on their patio, and I dealt with it by weed eating our shared fence line and waking them up at 6 am, after multiple talks didn't help.

You should get in touch with @The General and see if you can hire some of those crows from his backyard...

There should be a hearing date in front of a Justice of the peace or parish court. Show up and argue your case just like you did here, seems very convincing to me.

I'd go further with the petition written as just whether the dog is a nuisance or not since that depends on the person. How about defining excessive (10 mins straight w/o correction?) and asking the other neighbors to give a number of times they attribute to your dog?
That way she's boxed into either lying on how much or how frequent or she's boxed into saying 2 seconds without correction is what she expects or reads the law to be.

Bird seed dude. Go out at night and throw birdseed in their back yard, front yard, everywhere. Hell, hide a bag in a shed of theirs if you feel like running some covert ops. 1) Birds will #### all over their house/cars/yard. 2) they will get an infestation of mice which will be hilarious

Replace the dodge ball with a sling shot and fire stones or acorns from the comfort of your own bedroom. No need to retrieve a ball or have to run away.

Good times!
