re: Neighbor's dog barking non stop starting at 5am in their backyard

All you folks talking about the Haitians forget that some Mexican grocery stores sell dogs.

Just find yourself mumbling out loud about wishing someone would get that dog at 123 Spring Street while wandering around the local Home Depot.

Exactly, I thought it was anonymous and my wife works for an HOA and she confirmed we would get outed. They'd know it was me if it was anonymous since I already talked to the husband.

I am probably going to get that bark box and setup a perimeter to every back yard behind me.

Go back to the home and tell the husband it's still ongoing. Offer to buy him a dog collar. Hopefully he takes the hint and corrects the problem himself or actually buys a bark collar himself. If he's crass and takes you up on the offer, get a decent one like this because you're going to have one shot at it.




Hope to hell your neighbor actually programs it correctly.

this is a dog you can easily let inside. And no one has to hear the barking. Why does the linebacker wife insist on leaving it outside?

Best of luck there... I had an a-hole neighbor who had a huge dog that she never walked so it was pent up and very territorial over it's back yard...got so bad that eventually all I would have to do is open my patio door and it would lose it's ever loving mind and not stop barking till she took it in. I got a bark box and it worked for awhile so I know the tone bothered it, but the dog's urge to bark was so high it eventually would push through the pain and still bark.

If I report it, they get notified that I reported them and will then make my life a living hell (it already is).

What have you got to lose?

Just about every serial killer in history had, at some point in their life, tortured animals for the thrill of torturing animals.

It seems that anti freeze soaked hot dogs and dead cats would do more damage than cat par prints.

They have a large doggie door that they don’t close

can you elaborate more on this supposed notification systme that would inform the neighbors you complained? I want to hear more about this.

Buy a remote bark control device like Bark-Free. Bunches of the available. When it detects the tones of a dog barking it emits dog whistle type sound that annoys the dog. That may or may not work. Do not buy one with it working in mind. Instead, get inside the device and find out what feeds the dog whistle sound device. Hack into that branch of the circuit and break the speaker through a relay. Break a old style stereo through the relay, plug it up and turn it on as loud as it will go. Aim the speakers toward the offending neighbors house. Tune the stereo to an annoying station, heavy metal, Christian rock, that sort of thing. Crank that fricker up. When the dog barks the bark controller will send a signal to the relay, the relay will close and the stereo will start blasting music at the neighbors house. You will need a remote off and a timer on the relay to keep the music playing when the dog bark detector times out. When the neighbor has had enough of the music blasting at them tell them you have no idea how its happening but every time their dog starts barking that damned music starts. When they complain to the HOA and the police explain to them you have no idea why its doing but it only does it when the dog is barking....chances are pretty good it will happen when they are there. I actually made a switch that opened a sprinkler valve that sprayed my Labs kennel when she started barking. It worked like a champ...every time she barked she got a good soaking from the hose....and loved every minute of it! I have seen her turn that hose on and start biting and playing with the water.
