Crying and Barking early mornings at weekends

20 9:47:41

Question
My neighbours have a young Retreiver puppy which partners an ex police dog in an outside pen. The young dog has an annoying habbit of barking & crying when before 7.00am every weekend. It normally takes about 30 minutes before the neighbour is up and attends the noise issue.

How should I funnel my feelings in approacing them about this nuisance?

I want to lay in to at least 8.00 without being disturbed?

Answer
I could do much better explaining to them that with a crate, the dog could sleep in the house, than explaining to you how to approach them.  It is a shame people don't accept keeping the dog inside in a crate.  Maybe another expert here in human relationships or something could be more help with what is not really a dog problem.
