He/she is probably bored and not being walked enough if they are lazy. What kind of dog is it?
Dogs do bark for a lot of reasons, I have a barker myself and she is very attention seeking and this is her reason for barking, but when she does bark it is something that is tackled straight away and she is not left to bark for any length of time.
If they are lazy people to be honest I cannot see it being resolved and they will probably give up and rehome the dog when they get sick of the barking themselves, as in most cases.
I would agree and have a word with the owners first before calling out anyone, they will appreciate that as we too have had environmental health called out over Maddy and we were unaware she was even annoying anyone so it seemed very sneaky if you like, as if they didn't have the kindness to speak to us first without getting the authorities involved.
If they are nice people they will appreciate your help especially if you go with some ideas to help with the dog as he is probably annoying them just as much as he is annoying you, and if they really care for the dog and want to work at solving the issues they will be friendly towards you and welcome your advice anyway.
Good luck!
