FREAKIN' Dog won't stop barking!!
rohan:
Several hours?! You're a more patient man than I...Use rat poison and bologna and get some rest.
DrewKaree:
The police will stop back the next day to complete their report. It'll be an "open" disturbance call until they speak with the women.
This is an easy fix for them, and clearly they could care less about how it affects others, and the welfare of their dog. Since the landlord hasn't/won't take care of it to your satisfaction (the dog shutting UP!), the police are the next step.
This isn't an animal control issue, it's a nuisance/disturbance issue if it's beyond 10 P.M.
My dog used to do it when I left. Leaving a radio or the television on may solve it, otherwise those chicks should be responsible pet owners and look to solve the problem their dog is having when they leave.
Give 'em the ol' "Red Foreman treatment" if all else fails.

I had a neighbor who actually did that to my dog because she crapped on the fence line and he thought it was a millimeter or so more on his side of that line.
She did it ONCE.
I'm thinking you're my old neighbor, or you thought you were being funny. Either way, here's hoping someone visits a similar punishment upon you for suggesting something as insanely asinine as that and thinking you'd come off as Joe Cool. Perhaps you could let me know when you're having your next party so I can come over and crap in your punch bowl. I've heard that's a real scream too.
mr.Curmudgeon:
Well, I can't say I haven't thought about killing the thing. Seriously. It's such a loud, screaching yelp...it just gets inside your head. We can't use a good 75% of our apartment because the bark dominates the area and it's just driving us insane. It's 2am and we'll need a fan on in our bedroom in order to even sleep. We've done our part with these people, numerous time...I've been MORE than patient and this kind of crap really gets under my skin. Some people have absolutely NO respect for others.
I work all week (two jobs day and night) and I was looking forward to watching a movie with my lady tonight but we can't relax at all. So we finally called the police to discuss the issue, but since we live in a pretty rough neighboorhood, it isn't exactly a priority call on a Friday night. They said they couldn't even get the dog since it's INSIDE the apartment?! WTF. Anyhow, they recommended we call Animal Control during the week, if it happens again, since they have the authority to retrieve the dog from inside a home. Didn't make any sense to me, but we're going to follow-up with them anyhow and make a report to the police regardless.
Just to help myself feel better, I've left a note on their door outlining the problem, along with a recording of the dog barking, recorded from inside OUR apartment. I burned a full CD of that infernal noise, so they can personally enjoy the sweet sounds of their frickin' Devil Dog. I know they have absolutely no idea how loud and annoying it is since it stops as soon as it hears them approach the apartment. I burned a copy for the landlord too and filled his voicemail with "live" dog barking. I know he'll hear it, since I've done it before.
Btw, I've seen these bimbos "test" for the dog barking by going outside to their kitchen window to wave at the dumb animal. OF COURSE it doesn't bark when it sees them...so they most likely think the thing is a little angel when they're gone. I hate these girls...and their little dog too.

mr.Curmudgeon:
Here's a sample of the recording: [Mp3]
Note: Remember this is recorded from inside MY apartment. This is only a 20-30sec. sample, just imagine this repeated over a period of 3 hours, so far.
