Hi all, just thought I'd throw this out there and get others input. So first off let me say I dont like conflict and I dont like confrontation. I mean I know nobody relishes that but I really prefer to avoid those situationss. Let me also say I know I am making many assumptions based on appearance and circumstances. I understand that is not ideal but currently that is what I have.
Now, I live in what I consider to be a fairly nice apartment complex in an upstairs apartment in a two story building. About a month ago new neighbors moved in below me with 2 small to medium dogs. These dogs are not small but not quite medium size. They appear to be some sort of terrier mix and I would guess abround 20 to 25lbs. Our patios / balconies are decent sized for apartments and have railings which the neighbors have attached chicken wire to so that the dogs cant get out between the rails. These dogs are left out on the patio often and they bark a lot. While it is not every morning, it is several mornings a week before 6am they wake me up. Even on weekdays I dont have to wake up til 6:30 for work so its aggravating but when it happens on weekends is reaally annoying. Anytime they are out on the patio, and I or anyone walks by they bark, and if someone else walks by with a dog these two dogs go nuts. If I am out on my balcony and the dogs are out below they bark cause they hear me moving around. I have yet to see theneighbors out on the pation with the dogs, it is apparent they just put the dogs out there and are not concerned with how the dogs behavior affect others. Anyway, after about a month the time has come to approach the neigbors about the situation.
I will say I love dogs, but hate inconsiderate dog owners. I have not spoken personally to the neighbors. Here is where my assumptions come in. Not only does the pation contain the dogs but also a small assortment of empty beer cans and bootles are present on the railing or even on top of the light fixture attache to the wall. This is another sign of people that are inconsiderate and dont have much pride in thier home. From what I have seen of them in person they just give off a personal apperance of someone who is not concerened about how they seem to others.
Now, how to approach them, I know the best way would be to go knock on thier door and have a conversation in a nice calm manner, hope for understanding and resolution and if not then escalate thigns through the apartment management. Again based on apperances I just have a feeling this would do no good and only serve to make things worse in that they then know who I am and that they can continue to aggravate me and then be on the look out for anythng they can to complain about me. I have thought about leaving an anonymous note for them and I have thought about going straight to the apartment management about the situation.
