I'm not sure if this is good advice to solve the problem, but here goes anyway. Years ago I was working the 12mid to 8am shift. Anyone out there who has worked this shift knows you are always tired. My neighbor would tie his dog out everyday around 9am, just when I was trying to go to sleep. I had a fan on in the room year round to try to eliminate some of the outside noise. Well, this friggin dog barked all day long. I finally just lost it and screamed out the window "Shut that f***in dog up." My neighbor immediately went outside and put the dog back in the house. End of problem.
