I have lived in our house for 6 years. Recently a new
person moved in next to our neighbor behind us. The new
owner came over and told us that our dog woke him up at
5:30 am. And that our other dog also barked and woke him
up. Our dogs are not out that early in the morning, as we
don't get up that early either. I was polite saying thank
you for letting us know. We will try to keep them queit,
but we cannot control if someone walks by our house, since
we live on the corner. Two weeks went by and we have been
letting our dogs out between 7-8am (back yard) on July 4th
the neighbor came over at 8:00am and said our dog woke him
up at 6:30am. We explained to him we didn't get up until
7:00. We asked him if the fireworks and the late night teen
parties wake him up he says he doesn't hear that. We
explained to him we are in the city ordinance, and that our
dogs only bark if soemone comes up to the door or walks by
the house just as any other dogs do as warning to us. They
do not bark for hours. We mentioned to him that we are not
going to work around his sleeping schedule and that he
needs to move to the country if this bothers him. My
question is what rights do we have? He has been seen by a
neighbor on our property while we are at work, he walks up
to the gate where the dog is and of course she does not
know him so she barks. Can we file trespassing claim
agianst him? Our surrounding neighbors are willing to
write letters on our behalf that our dogs do not bark all
day, only if someone comes on the property. Please advice
us if thier is anything we can do. Can we file restraining
orders on him? If anyone hase expierenced this
I would love to hear from you. Hollister Ca
