Obedience School Dogs

Advice - Dog Obedience School?

HELP!! I have a neighbor with a big dog that barks not stop from 4am - 8am. The bark is loud and no one in a 1000 vicinity of her property can sleep. The owner doesn't care. She is well aware of the problem but says she can't do anything - it is a dog and dogs bark. I want to suggest that she send the dog to training school (not that she will but I want to at least suggest it). Where and how do I go about finding a school or trainer who can teach this animal to be quiet in the morning? Is such training possible? Should I look in the phone book? Any info will help. The neighbors all hate the dog but it is not the animals fault. I am afraid someone will eventually hurt it. HELP.
We have already called the town and she has been cited several times. The town has strict noise ordinances but she just pays the ticket. She is loaded so she doesn't care about the money.

Oh, how annoying! However it is not your responsibility to locate a trainer for this rude, selfish neighbor. And if she won't doesn't care about how you all feel, why would she go to the bother of having the dog trained? It is not clear by your post if anyone has actually spoken to her personally. That should be your first option. Speak with your neighbors and make sure they are behind you on this, approach her and ask her if there is any way she can control this problem. Try to be nice about it. But if she is rude or non compliant then please continue to call the police/animal control. Let her rack up tickets. There is a point at which the amount of tickets will allow the municipality to deem this poor dog a nuisance and perhaps threaten to confiscate. Maybe she will do something then! And if not, maybe the dog will be rehomed from the shelter to someone who will work with it and produce a well mannered pet.
There is a website you can access called DECC. They tell you about the federal noise ordinances and what you can do. They offer mediation and claim a high success rate. They also say that if mediation is not successful you do have the option to sue in court. Maybe if she is faced with more than a ticket, she might change her behavior!
If I were you, I would speak to the other neighbors and get them on record as regarding this noise as a violation of code. I would tape the noise and document the time of day, length of noise. Keep track with animal control of the number of times they are called, the number of tickets she receives. Please don't hesitate to call the police at 4 am if the dog has been barking for more than 15 minutes...in most ordinances they are not allowed over that limit. If you call the police, show them the tape and have them ticket at 4 am. That will surely get her attention!
I wish more people would be responsible pet owners and train their precious pets to be well behaved.
I wish someone would confiscate my 20 something weekend partyhound next door neighbors for excessive noise. I would be happy to keep their dog!
Good luck.
