This is why we pay for an Anchorage animal control program.
 I've called them in the past to deal with garbage dogs, pet dogs running loose in  groups or singly in the streets and in the woods,  and for the continual  barking  as described in this article. 
 In the past they have been reasonably responsive, though with budget cuts I expect that may not be true anymore. 
 However, it's the appropriate and most responsible way to deal with neighbors and pet issues. Perhaps the Muni should do some public service announcements about animal control if it's still a viable program.
