How do you deal with a neighbor's dog that barks incessantly?

Question

ALL options are on the table...looking for creative ways to solve this problem without having to deal with the white trash that owns the dog.

I like dogs - just not dogs that keep me up at night and prevent my baby from napping...

Answer 1

Get a bark buster!!
This new ultrasonic device works indoors or out to stop your neighbors dog barking. A built-in microphone senses barking and triggers a choice of audible tone, or an ultrasonic tone that is inaudible to humans but not to cats and dogs. Once the barking ceases, the tone stops automatically. The tone sector allows you to adjust the sensor to increase effectiveness and minimize false triggers. Plugs into the mains and comes complete with 30ft mains cable, weather resistant cover and wall bracket. For outdoors use only. Cost around $20

Answer 2

It defiantly sounds like your neighbor is white trash for letting their dog bark uncontrollably maybe they don’t take care for the dog the way they should. If so call the police. Otherwise;

Option 1: When the dog is barking yell NO! If you do this long enough it might start listiening to you. If it does listen to you reward it with a small treat.

Option 2: Buy a water-gun/water-bottle and every time the dog barks shot it with water. If that doesn’t faze him put a little vinegar in the water just try not to shot the dog in the eyes. After you hit him say NO so he understands why you shot him. Plus how pissed can the neighbor get at you for getting their dog wet.

Answer 3

Call animal control. It is against the law to allow one's dog to bark constantly. Most dogs, when left alone for long periods bark out of boredom and need for attention. That sounds like what is going on here. I would be willing to bet your neighbors keep the dog either chained in the yard or penned in a fenced area without giving the poor thing any attention or exercise. Dogs are a lot like kids that way. When no one is paying them any attention the will even behave badly just to get the attention.
Animal control will talk to your neighbors and give them a warning. If the problem doesn't cease call Animal Control again, your neighbors will then be fined. If the problem persists keep calling Animal Control, eventually if they don't fix the problem the dog will be taken from their custody and placed in the Animal Shelter for adoption to a family who will give it the love and attention it is craving.

Answer 4

If you live in the city, look into noise ordinances in your area. Most of the time, a quick call to law enforcement will take care of the problem. What kind of living conditions are present? If the dog is ill-kept, animal cruelty would also be a good contact. That could solve both you and the dog's problems. Hopefully there is a no-kill shelter in your area. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Answer 5

Buy a REALLY big speaker, connect to your stereo, run it out to the edge of your property, point it towards the dogs owner, turn the volume up to BLASTING, and play the type of music you think they would most likely hate to hear. Do this for 15 minutes every time the dog barks. Either the dog will learn not to bark or they owners will move.

Answer 6

In most counties there are laws regarding noise and dogs. I have called the non-emergency police number and asked about this before, and they redirected me to the animal control people who told me that barking dogs are legitimate complaints. You need to have the address of the dog, type of dog, times when the barking takes place, and whatever else they may ask you. Sometimes they may even take your name and address in order to send you a satisfaction survey about how well they did.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?1h29

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.
