Should I take my neighbor court due to dog barking ?

In 2022, my neighbor's dog broke my fence and got into my yard. The police only gave me a report, and nothing more came of it. At the time, I didn’t escalate the situation since I wasn’t fully aware of what was happening.

In 2023, their dogs kept escaping from their fenced yard into the streets, and there were days of continuous barking, day and night. I called animal control, and the neighbor was fined $1,000. They also had to get rid of one dog, and the barking stopped. I’m unsure of what other enforcement actions were taken.

In January 2024, I moved to a different city, and there were no dog issues. In November 2024, I moved back to my old house. Since then, I’ve spoken to my neighbors a few times, but they haven’t responded. Their dogs continue barking for 2-3 hours a day. I can't use my backyard since they damaged my fence before. Whenever I take out the trash, the dogs go crazy. The barking at night has stopped, but during the day, it continues for hours.

I called animal control again, and they told me that if I report it again, we may have to go to court.

I have video recordings of the barking, which is captured by my security cameras (though the cameras don’t record their yard, just the noise). I’ve also recorded the dogs’ reactions and how they behave on the street.

My question is: should I go to court? I’m a bit scared of the neighbor, but will going to court help? Please advise.
