Did ya ever think about talking to your neighbor?
Certain areas of the country have nuisance barking laws.
Just recently, we got yet another dog...(yes, the pooch count is now at 5
and around 500 lbs). His name is Hogan, a 1 yr old German Shepherd. He had
pneumonia while he was at the animal shelter, and dropped 10 lbs in 2 weeks.
We got him home, got him healthy, and he instantly figured out the program
in the Thicko household. He did, however, decide one day that everything and
every action by any other dog, or any family member required a bark. I
tagged him from across the room with a bedroom slipper. He got quiet in a
hurry. The next time, he barked once, I made like I was going to take off a
shoe, and he went under the table. He's quiet in the house now. He's a smart
dog.
Not all dogs, however, are smart. Not all owners are smart either. Try
reasoning with the neighbor before you take your battle to the dogs. If he's
a dick, call the local animal warden, and find out what the local ordinances
are.

Ok, I am at the point where my neighbors barking dogs are driving me
crazy. Every time I go out into my, completely privacy fenced-in,
yard the dogs start barking and don't stop. Now that the weather is
getting warmer I am going to be working in my yard more often and this
needs to stop.
My question is, can anyone offer up suggestions on how to get them to
stop aside from a few OZ of PB or some tasty Ethylene Glycol. I would
like to be discreet.
I was thinking of rigging up several dog whistles to an airline and
place it in the yard running constantly for a few weeks. Think it
will work.
Thanks,
Greg
