Best cure for neighbor's barking dogs

[TSOTSI]

I swear this son of a bitch goes to the shelter and auditions these f&^%$#g things to see how loud they bark before he brings them home.

Hamburger meat mixed with a little ethylene glycol? Might make them stop barking. Just a guess.

What an terrible death. If you saw an animal die from antifreeze you wouldn't recommend it.
A knife is much more humane if you must kill quietly.

Online you can find sonic devices that respond to barking. They are above our hearing range. If the dog barks it responds. Dog doesn't bark, it doesn't make noise.
Pretty fast the dog gets the idea. Most are directional.

Go to petsmart, petco, etc. They sell electronic devices (anywhere from $100 - $500) that you can plug it in on your back patio and it will emit a ultrasonic sound that is uncomfortable to a dogs hearing. When the dog barks, it transmits. Dog soon learns to shut up.

Or if you have the time you can always do the water bottle and vinegar route. Or (I do NOT recommend, I'd be pissed if someone was mistreating my dog even if the dog was a nuisance) the low velocity BB gun. Or be a good neighbor and talk to the guy and see if y'all can't work something out. Volunteer your time to help train the dog.

I bought a device from Petsmart that was supposed to do the high freq sound whenever the neighbors dog barked. It didn't work but I was able to return it to the store for a refund. If you try that route make sure you can return the item if it's not working. I guess it didn't work in my case due to the fence. Or offer to buy a bark collar for the dog.

We had several issues with some neighbor dogs and finally one neighbor confronted them about the barking. It was about the 3rd time someone had confronted them but it finally sunk in and, for the most part, the dogs have been quiet.
If I was in the back yard I usually ended up watering the plants alongside the fence which helped with the barking but only while I was out there.

Depending on your city/county you can also file a complaint with animal control (we did that also)

I for one would F***k up anyone who messed with my dog, I like my dogs more than most of the human race (including some of my family). Just got talk to the dude, if that doesn't do the trick call the popo or animal control. Just don't be stupid enough to mis-treat that dog.

Man the fuck up and talk to them? If they don't fix the problem give them a reminder about the barking laws. Still no resolution call the city or cops?

The dogs doesn't know better, it's an issue with the owner.

I had this happen and my neighbor didn't know it was an issue. Apparently some other neighbors called the HOA on her as well. My concern was with the noise when our son was born.

Its frustrating and the dog is not harming anyone.

I agree that the neighbor is the issue, not the dog, so no need to harm the dog. I have a neighbor that is a total jackass, in that he has at least 3 times let his dog out (a German shepherd), then been so hammered that he passed out, leaving the poor dog outside. The dog, not knowing any better, barks continuously to be let in. The last time jackass did this, we called in a welfare check to the PD, and they proceeded to kick in his front door. No issues since.

Just talk to your neighbour. If he doesn't do anything about it, call animal control...
