Neighbor's dog keeps barking

Post » Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:59 pm

I have this neighbor next door who's dog keeps barking whenever a noise is made in the house or someone goes out to the backyard. The owner does not care one bit that it is disturbing others.

I was wondering if any of you could give me some ideas on how to quell this little mutt without calling the city or authorities.I'll use that as a last resort, but I'm curious if there are other ways.

you could "accidentally" run it over.

seriously though, just speak to the owner about it.

Well, if the neighbor is aware, and does not care about it bothering other people, I think the only option here is to actually call a higher power to deal with the situation.

Hehe, I like that.. If only they would let it outside of their backyard or living room.

We tried talking to them, they replied, "Well then, I guess you'll just have to move!" Never mind the fact we have lived in our house for 17 years before they moved here. Yeah, we don't exactly get along.

Illegal solution - "Silence it" :wink_smile:

Legal solution - call police :batman:

But seriously, you really should talk to the cops

Would there perhaps be a way to annoy the hell out of the neighbors to motivate them to keep their dog quiet?

Would it be legal to maybe blow an airhorn through the fence each time the dog barks?

Sorry, you are cursed. There will be no escape from the wretched beast. My parents have two dogs. If they are outside, they are barking. When I lived with them the noise was always torture -- bring the dogs in only to have someone else let them out and annoy me (and I can only assume the neighbors).


Apologies, we were part of the problem, not part of the solution.

1. Purchase sedative
2. Purchase food to attach to sedatives
3. Toss food with sedative into neighbors yard
4. Sleep in peace

I suppose you could get one of those ultra-high pitched dog whistles and blow it whenever they start barking :shrug:

Talk to them, then talk to them more seriously, then write them a letter, then call the police.

Or, you know, talk to your neighbours. Be polite, if that doesn't work, drop the polite and tell to get their damn dog under control. I don't see how a letter will help if talking doesn't.

My dog barks a lot as well, but at least she shuts up if we tell her to, it annoys the hell out of me and I can't see how it doesn't annoy your beighbour if he isn't deaf.

1. Serious answer - Talk to them if that doesn't work - Call Police
2. Horror Fiction Answer - Wait till they're gone sneak into thier house and put Fido in the oven.
3. Mysteroius Answer - Steal Fido and take to a shelter
4. Comic Answer - Put bowl of peanut butter in their back yard
5. Romance answer - Get same species of dog - opposite six. Forget this one.. .could end in disaster.

My dad did this because our new neighbors dog barks incessantly when we are outside. Its not a whistle, but more a little electronic clicker that emits a high pitched sound and for this dog it works perfectly, as long as you click it when he's just in between barks. Don't know why :shrug:

Up here (Canada/Winnipeg) it's my understanding that it's a "no tolerance" thing with pet noise. If you call the right people, something will be done about it most likely.

Dogs bark. It's their nature to sound the alert to the pack that an intruder is about. Sadly, the owners haven't trained him yet on when it is appropriate to bark. Some breeds are also prone to barking more than others.
Do as others have suggested and get a dog whistle to blow in between barks. Or listen to music with your headphones on.
Look on the bright side, the damn barking dog may act as a deterrent to burglars.



To those advocating violence, shame on you. Dogs are not human, humans are ultimately responsible for their pets.
It's a cowardly thing to poison or kill a dog because one lacks the people skills to resolve it's behavior with human owners.

They'd kill the dog and then [censored] and crucify the owners.

Does anyone know of a place to get a dog whistle that will actually make a dog shut up?
Keep in mind this dog is one of those little ones that never seem to quit barking.

To be fair, they would at least give them a heads up and call them degenerates and threaten to murder that "beast" or "mongrel".
