Sorta building on what Nix said, I would skip saying this,"That having been said, I would also like to communicate my extreme disappointment ..."If they are going to feel bad about it, they are more likely to if you don't act like they did something wrong. Better is to blame it on the city, and just apologize, and hope for the best. Now if it happens again, then I would even get irate. But for the initial contact about this, I would give them a chance to feel guilty and avoid putting their back up more than it might be already. Blame the city, saying the city said your dogs are too loud. Tell them you want to know if and when the dogs are loud so you can fix it because you are sorry. Even complain that you are worried about getting fined by the city. Just don't point a finger at them.
If it was the people upstairs, I am tempted to contact the city about their excessive abuse of cannabis and the smell that permeates our apartment as a result, or the loud, aggressive fighting between them. If it's the woman next door, I will lodge my own noise complaint about the very loud, lengthy and disturbing noises that keep us awake on nights when her boyfriend visits.

Also they must always carry mouth muzzle whenever in urban, peri-urban or near-city environments

I am not sure where the balance is. Do we want neighbors who will complain? Do we want neighbors that mind their business?
Quote from: Aloha007 on December 06, 2017, 03:29:16 PMI am not sure where the balance is. Do we want neighbors who will complain? Do we want neighbors that mind their business? I think we just want neighbors who are good people. That means neighbors who watch out for each other to protect the neighborhood, but also communicate with each other.
