Try talking to them.. if that don't pan out.. check with code enforcement.

I keep a few packs of bottle rockets around the house for barking dogs, usually my daughters (half hound/ half ?) dog. He only gets 3 barks before one of these bottle rockets is chasing him around the yard. One bottle rocket is good for all day. He finds him a hidding spot.

If you're a city boy, call law enforcement... Here in "Lovely" Fresno, the Fresno Police will knock on the offenders door... Been successful in my neighborhood...

Shoot them.

 

[G6 at Snook, TX]

J/k on the shooting part. In all seriousness, I suggest you call animal control or check the local code as others suggested, but the bottle rocket idea is certainly unique.

Good for you!!! I had a Pyrenees who barked so much I could have shot him and he would have barked for a week after he was dead! Problem was that his bark was very deep and low...it really was in a range that did not bother me. Neighbor had a problem with it (justifiably) but never said a word to me (unjustifiably). Out comes the township guy. Writes me up for a tractor parked on the wrong side of the driveway, a feed grinder on the drive that I was repairing, and a car waiting for charity to collect. He never heard the dog so nothing on that. Wish the neighbor had just said something to me.

 

[osduck5]

WOW! just WOW!

 

[souNdguy]

Im in the same boat.. i have a couple animals that I've had for 8 ys.. none of my neighbors has ever indicated a problem till a month ago, when my neighbor tells me that the guy next to him has been wanting to sue me for a while now.. but my neighbor keeps talking him out of it.. but now he's taired of talking him out of it.. so he finally tells me about it. i wish either of these 2 guys would have just come to me when they decided there was a problem, instead of waiting and going back and forth between themselves for 'a while' and then telling me only at the very end...

etc..

Look for a Brookstone store online or in person, they sell a device called a Dog Dazzer. 10 years ago they sold for $25.
I've had several over the years before I retired. The dog has to be hyper for it to work well, almost every dog I used it on went crazy. It hurts their ears so bad they usually run and hide. It's also used to train dogs.
I remember one dog I used it on my job thru a 6' board fence, just because he barked the entire time I was there. After I pointed at him several times the dog went to the other side of the back yard and climbed over the 6' fence and left the area.
It's used by Joggers to repel dogs too.

I once used it inside a house to shut up a tiny dog that would not leave me alone. Barked and barked and barked. The homeowner just let him bark.
I went to my truck and got the dazzer and started back to work. When the little dog returned I pointed it at him and pushed the button, the dog quickly ran to the other end of the house and I never saw or heard him again.
It's harmless, but it really hurts their ears bad when you click it, but humans can not hear it at all.

True, the best bet is to first walk over to the guy's house and ask him to muzzle the dogs then proceed from there. I would do that if I had college students who like to party too much live next to me. I will ask nicely, but then I get nasty if the niceness has no effect. My brother in law is a foreman on several construction projects and he tells me that some people you can talk civilized to, but other sub contractors you have dog cuss to get them to do anything.

As for the people who won't come to your house and manfully lodge a complaint, they are probably weenies who have the backbone of a chocolate eclair.

 

[bj/8n/mt]

I can tell you what worked for me in a similar situation.

First I went over and had a talk with the offenders.

Then next Sunday morning around 4:00 A.M. a friend and I fired up two chain saws and bounce reved them for about five minutes.

Offender came over in his underwear and the first thing out of his mouth was "I got the point so you can quit now." Problem solved.

YMMV

 

[Dunk]

It amazes me that people choose to live this close to other people.

I never have.

I hope I never have to.

 

[JOHN HUNT]

Why anyone would live in PA beats the Ell outa me.

Kinda like NY.

I wouldn't live there ifn they gave me the place.

Maybe we can make all the illegals move to them places.

Well, I called my neighbor at work, family business, to tell him his dog was bothering the neighbor's horse, turns out his neighbor is his sister. He wasn't there, so I left the message with his mother.

Couple of weeks go by, I see my neighbor out back and say, "HI", he just ignores me.

He hasn't been too good a neighbor anyway. The back of his place is used as a bull pen for his contracting business, in a residential area. He has 4 sheets of OSB leaning on a single T post of a post & wire fence between us. Been there for months and the post is leaning toward my place.

I don't want problems, so I plan to "kicker" or brace the post with a diagonal into my garden. They only win if you let them get to you.

I am still investigating that "PHILA, PA" family name. Back to ya later. Johnnie.

Well, like always, I am just agbout outta business, here, in the small rural ag. area.

I have always been the LAST TO KNOW. I just found out "my reputation preceeds me". I can really screw-up things for YA!

if you can get to them a direct hit with a high pressure nozzel on a garden hose usualy will shut them up , may take a few times for some dumber dogs to get the point, then when they do, just hang the hose where they can see it, some neighbors could use the same treatment,

Dunk, we have two "neighbors" with problem dogs. One is about five hundred yards away through heavy, dense woods. We can hear their little yappy dog almost constantly when we're outside.
The other neighbor is a good half mile away the other direction but still through thick woods. They have a big hound with a deep "woof" that goes on for hours when they are not home.
Fortunately, we have very thick, double paned windows and can't hear them from inside the house but it's tough to enjoy a quiet evening out on our patio or deck with these dogs barking.

As for my own beagles, one of them barks whenever a critter, like a deer, comes out of the woods. I've always trained my dogs when they were pups. If they barked at night I'd turn on the yard lights and go out and wop 'em on the butt with a loosely rolled up newspaper and tell 'em to "GO TO BED!" And they'd run into their dog houses and stay quiet . After a while, all I had to do was turn on the light and show them the newspaper and they'd shut up. Finally it got to where all I have to do is turn on the yard light. Now, I have a wireless remote switch on my night stand. If I hear her bark at night, I just hit the switch. The dog shuts up and goes back to bed.

I rarely have to do it anymore.

I'm very sensitive to bothering the neighbors and have never understood how people can't hear their own dogs barking!

Amen! I don't let my dogs do it and it ticks me off that a couple goofs close by ignore their dogs and allow this.

I thought all the illegals were ALREADY here!
I can tell you why I moved here 41 years ago; I got out of western NY to move to the "sunny south" or so it seemed to me, and to a job with a good company (New Holland). Haven't had a dog yet, but thinking about it, if I can get one that will chase away all the woodchucks, and be quiet at the same time. (I know, Good Luck on that one).

I hope you don't depend on them to let you know a sneak-theif is in the yard.
