Advice needed for barking dog..

Neighbor's moved in a few months ago & have a lab called Ruby. She barks and barks. Its not funny at 5:30 in the morning. So far this week I have been woken up every morning & its drives me crazy on the weekends. Our bedroom is facing their side. I don't know them at all. DH has spoken to them a few times and they seem nice. I don't want to go over & say Hi welcome to the hood btw shut your dog up. Just now she was barking for 15 mins. So I went out in the back and yelled quiet just as they where letting her in. oops. I know they heard me. Our houses are about 10 feet apart and are not very sound proof. We do have a HOA that I could call. I don't know what to do. Sorry for being so long.

That would drive me nuts! And I have 2 dogs but they rarely bark!

Before you go reporting them though, you should talk to them. Like you said, they seem perfectly nice! Just let them know that your bedroom faces where ever they keep the dog so it's EXTRA loud to you!
