What is the name of your state? Illinois
I have a neighbor in an adjoining town home who has repeatedly confronted me about my dog's barking. I've left a voice activated recorder on when I leave home and come home to about 3-4 minutes of barking over a 10 hour period.
Yesterday when she left home my dog barked 4-5 times from a window at the front of the house. I was outside at the time and she said, "I'm going to shoot that dog". I moved the dog into another room and he did not bark again for the rest of the day.
I would have disregarded her statement as she's basically a grumpy lady who also complains about me barbacuing on my patio and the kids playing tag outside on a Sunday afternoon. But later that day the cops show up and say there was a complaint about a noisey dog. He said, "obviously there's no barking now so I won't do anthing". I guess I have two questions:
1. If she keeps complaining and they keep coming and the dog isn't barking at that time, am I in the clear?
2. Can I make a complaint against her for threatening my do?
Thanks!
