When we lived in VA before, the neighbors across the street had a large poodle (I think) that they left out frequently at night and that dog could bark. I knew we were probably blamed because we were known as the "dog people" or at least I was the "dog lady" but ours were inside at night. Fortunately no one ever complained about that. I did get a call from zoning one time when I had a litter of puppies. One of the kids friends must have been in the house and went home and told their Mother I had eleven dogs (I didn't have that many adults). When zoning called me I just laughed and told them they were crazy. I did have a litter that had eleven puppies tho. LOL Life with kids can be a challenge in many ways!
