Our neighbor's dog is so noisy at night. What's the best way to get rid of it?

If your neighbor's dog is causing disruption at night, the best way to try and get rid of it is to talk to your neighbor first. Dog behavior can be affected by many factors and talking to the owner and finding out what kind of breed the dog is, as well as whether or not it has any medical conditions, can help provide solutions. Other methods such as sound masking or using motion-activated lighting may reduce the presence of the dog in your yard. Planting a tall fence around your yard with a secured gate could also help block its entry. In extreme cases, contacting local authorities may be necessary if it interferes with public peace or quiet

Speaking to the neighbor kindly and gently explainng that the dog's barking is disrupting your sleep might be a good first step. Additionally, you could try keeping your windows closed and providing some sort of sound masking in the form of white noise or music to make it easier for yourself to fall asleep.
