re: People who let their dogs bark at night in side yards next to bedroom windows

A bag of dark chocolate Hershey's kisses. Unwrap them first.

I did. He said he can’t control the dog and if I ever see it out the fence to just shoot it because it’s mean and he’d rather I protect my kids than save the dog. I didn’t have a response to that.

If a neighbor ever told me that I’d probably offer to buy the dog from him. Then I would try and find a home for the dog. Hopefully it’s not a Great Dane because they are killers

What kind of owner says to shoot their dog because he’s aggressive?

Maybe don’t live by trashy people?

This is #8 on the Karen 10 commandments

If you want to be ruthless: Xylitol.

If you want to be a Karen: Some municipalities have an ordinance on # of barks within a certain period of time. Record and file a complaint.

If you want to be neighborly: Go back and talk to the owner again. Suggest the e-collar.

Moved from a subdivision with neighbors that had a dog like that. They were from Chalmette (shocker, I know), and had I not moved sooner, I'd have either beat the husband or shot the dog.

Call the cops! Regardless of time of night. They have to respond and dragging your neighbor out of bed to fetch their dog in the middle of the night will put an end to it. Call the cops every time it happens! It took 4 calls about ten years ago, and I haven’t had a problem since.

Don't be passive aggressive, you have to live next to each other. Let him know that you're still having issues with it and propose a few solutions. As someone said, they make products to deal with these behaviors. I had a friend who bought one that would shoot water in the dogs face each time it barked. It was effective and it changed the behavior. Offer to pay for it if needed, seems like a small price to pay for your sanity and goodwill with your neighbor. Don't poison the dog, that's chickenshit and inhumane.

Our neighbors Golden Retriever barked at the stars, or the moon, or not sure what the frick it was but he barked constantly all night.

We got a white noise machine from Amazon. The Lectrofan, an older version of this: LINK

I'll be damned if that damn thing didn't do the trick. Never noticed the dog barking after that. Assuming you aren't bothered by white noise.

It was major factor in my decision to move.

We have a neighbor a couple houses over that lets their dog bark all day. At least it isn’t at night. The thing that gets me is I don’t know how THEY deal with it. I’m a couple doors down and I can hear it if I turn off the TV and sit in silence. They have to hear that non stop. Maybe they are used to it? I can’t get used to a barking dog, not even my own.
