seriously, how can you just leave a dog outside to bark for HOURS!??! and how can a dog keep barking for hours!? damn!
first of all it's awful for the dog, not to mention INCREDIBLY irritating for your neighbors
here is what i need to know... what is the proper way to deal with it? do i go knock on their door and tell them to please keep their dog quiet? do i leave a note? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP

they're probably not home and a lot of owners leave their dog out all the time (for houses).

for apartments/townhouses the owner doesn't typically know the dog is parking that much if it's inside.

not excusing it, I would talk to them and let them beware of the problem and just how bad it is.

My upstairs neighbors are constantly noisy

I suspect there is some decibel limit to the noise your neighbors can make before you can call the cops

Not sure where to find that info though

shoot the dog and maybe the neighbors

Talk to them, tell them that their dog is loud all the time (sometimes they don't know this if they're away for both inside and outside dogs), threaten to complain if they act like they don't give a shit.

If your comfortable talking with them, then go talk to the neighbor about it.

Is this at an apartment complex or townhouses or regular houses?

How not to handle it.

it's a regular house... and it's actually the street behind mine, but we are separated by a fence and a small treeline.
i have no idea who the owners are. i'm sorta sketched out actually.

Raleigh residential decibel noise limits are 55 dB in the daytime and 45 at night time.
