You can, and should. Also log when and how long the dog is barking. In many jurisdictions it’s a noise ordinance violation or considered a violation of public nuisance laws. It may be a new puppy that they’re leaving alone all day (not good) or a dog they’ve recently started crating all day (can be not good). If it’s barking for neglect reasons they can also get an animal abuse charge and the dog can be removed
