Dog barking, how to stop it?

[nzspokes]

Our neighbours have a dog. A small dog. That barks. A lot. Im home crook and have been trying to sleep. And the dog barks. They put it outside at night, so it barks.

It never stops.

What can I do?

[JimO]

get some ear plugs

[Indiana_Jones]

Kill it, then eat the evidence.....

-Indy

[BigAl]

Slug pellets wrapped in mince can do the trick, might take a few goes.

[nzspokes]

Kill it, then eat the evidence.....

-Indy

I would not eat a dog.

Would not be enough meat to fill a pie.

[Timmeh:P]

How about you talk to the neighbour? They may not realise how bad the barking is.

[Indiana_Jones]

Clearly you're not Tongan then lol

Chloroform... works well with babies too :shutup:

[nzspokes]

They know, thats why they have it outside.

[imdying]

Ring noise control, and animal control. Presumably your council hot line will be able to provide more info?

[Timmeh:P]

They know, thats why they have it outside.

So you have talked to them then....

[wickle]

check your council animal rules , most councils will deal with animals if they are a problem. also check with other neighboors some others may be able to back up your claims with council officers.

[nzspokes]

So you have talked to them then....

What are you crazy man!!

Nobody talks to there neighbours in Manurewa.

Fair point.

[Indiana_Jones]

Are they Asians?

Some little hand bag dog?

-Indy

[george formby]

Yup, Animal control & the council. They are fairly toothless (:facepalm:) unless you have evidence of the extent of the dogs barking though.

[nzspokes]

-Indy

Handbag dog yes. Owners grumpy white women.

[nzspokes]

Yup, Animal control & the council. They are fairly toothless (:facepalm:) unless you have evidence of the dog barking though.

Could I tape it? Would that do?

[george formby]

Shame you were'nt closer, you could have borrowed my dog & scared the little yapper to death.

[Rhys]

talk to them, talk to the council if still no success .22lr will fix it :innocent:

[Timmeh:P]

What are you crazy man!!

Nobody talks to there neighbours in Manurewa.

Fair enough...

[imdying]

Yup, subsonic and a silencer. One phut and it's all sorted. Don't talk to the neighbours about the dog if you're planning on killing it though. Smash a stubby and mix it into some mince, roll into balls, throw over fence. Wear gloves when you're rolling the balls, DAMHIK.

[george formby]

Could I tape it? Would that do?

Exacary, video or audio recording, time, duration etc. Otherwise it's your word against theirs & would most probably start with a complaint notification & glacially creep on from there. Neighbours statements too.
The owners should really get some training for the yapper to solve the problem. Stick a Barkbusters flyer through their door.

[Timmeh:P]

Vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Will require you to go outside and spray in the direction of the dog (not at the face). A couple of times should do the trick. Best if the owner does it.

OR...

Get laxative, put a small amount in some food. Dog can't bark if it can't hold it in. WARNING. Too much laxative will kill the dog... but hey, that's another solution.

[Grasshopperus]

Wrap it up real good with duct tape then have sex with it. Then put it in the microwave.

Haha that made me laugh,it probably will still bark,you will just get a bad smell with each bark.

[imdying]

Wrap it up real good with duct tape then have sex with it. Then put it in the microwave.That's just cruel, who microwaves dogs?

[Timmeh:P]

Found this on the internet thingy....

"Barking requires the ability to concentrate considerable pressure in the abdominal region. This is implicit upon the maintenance of pressure with all sphincter muscles. Frankly speaking Laxative will significantly reduce the integrity of the anal sphincter thereby dramatically reducing the animal's ability to sound because of the simultaneous loss of pressure due to involuntary excretion."

[Crasherfromwayback]

Microwave it before ya shag it.

[Timmeh:P]

Microwave it before ya shag it.

Give it laxative, microwave it and then shag it... Warm and squishy. :sick:

What can I do?

We got two little fluffy white fucks up the back of our place...barked all the time, they would come down the fence and wind up the two other dogs next door...little fuckers...after many calls to the useless dumpty owners, a call was made to the council, they sent the 'dog silencer' around...it worked!

Call the Council!

[fokky]

Xylitol is an artificial sweetener,usually forsale on trademe.If ingested by dogs it causes a surge of insulin production and rover pegs out,quickly and quietly.......apparently:shit:

[george formby]

Their is also an operation which can be performed to remove part of the larynx or some such bit of anatomy. Common in the US on Collies etc. It does not stop the dog barking but the noise is little more than a wheeze.
Sad but true.

[Quasievil]

There is a product you can attach to your fence , when the dog barks it emmitts a high pitch whistle (you cant hear it) and the dog doesnt like it and stops, I cant remember the name of it, but it works.
It looks like a little birdhouse, but it aint !

ask the vet shop, or google it, maybe on trademe?

good luck

[davereid]

I had an old fella used to walk his dog around my workshop so it could shit in the early hours of the morning.

I left some sausages around and a big sign "THEOBROMINE POISON LAID - DEADLY TO DOGS"

He got the message.

Accused me of leaving poison around that could endanger people, but Theobromine is chocolate.

Dog still in good health, shitting elsewhere I assume.

Awesome. I'm gonna put one on my office wall. Then the next time some pussy whipped mofo is being barked at by his bitch and being told he's not allowed the fucking bike it'll shut her up.

I've got a similar thing set up for the neighbors dog that a guy I work with built which works great, all you hear from the dog is half a bark and then a short whine.

We tried talking to the neighbors, their reply was that they don't think their dog barks because they never hear it. That's because it only does it when you're not home, dickheads. :facepalm:

[JimO]

the woman next door has a foxy fucking yappy dog, constantly barking all the time, unfortunately since one of my dogs killed two of her chickens things are a bit strained

[Blackshear]

I fucking hate tiny dogs.
Flatmate has 1 tiny longhaired Pomeranian, hardly barks at all.
She brought home another one, its daughter, still 2 months on it barks at me all the time. Not even SHE can get it to stop by command or otherwise.
The only solace I get in this is that at 5.30 in the morning when I wake up and put my clothes on, that yappy fuck barks at me through 2 closed doors, waking them both up (Who don't do shit till about 9).

Her excuse it "But look at her, she's so cute!"

I get bared teeth and growled at in my own place, just me, nobody else that visits. I'd kick it, but the smaller one broke both front legs jumping off a couch ($2300).

[mrchips]

House across the road has 2 yappy poodle things. They went missing a last week... aparantly someone opened the gate early a.m.

Kids out playing on the road now & the yappa's are back !

For a second there I thought a neighbor opened it intentionally and then got cocky by letting the kids run amok, too. :innocent:

Fucken inconsiderate wankers that have dogs they dont care for enough to stop this sort of anti social behaviour! I got sick and tired of ringing my neighbour, she stopped answering her phone to me. Sadly the stupid woman owns the local taxi service and ALWAYS answers that phone. 11pm at night, after lsitening to 2 dogs having a barking competition for the last hour, I ring her, she is not home mind you. No cant be happening she reckons, until to I got her to stop and listen for a moment and she had to come home and sort it. In the end I told her I had had enough, next calls were to the council.


How about you talk to the neighbour? They may not realise how bad the barking is.

See above. Even after my many complaints to the council and a couple of visits to them from the dog control officer, a call to get them to shut these fuckers up was answered with, but ours are not the only dogs barking. FFS! Your dogs are setting off the big dogs next door. Still got gob from this bint, so I rang the council yet again.


Ring noise control, and animal control. Presumably your council hot line will be able to provide more info?

They are actually really good, visit the property, do drive bys, canvas the neighbourhood, if your complaint is genuine and not vexacious they act.


check your council animal rules , most councils will deal with animals if they are a problem. also check with other neighboors some others may be able to back up your claims with council officers.

See above. it took a while, but we so rarely hear these dogs barking now, it is actullay quicte a surprise to hear them. These wankers thought nothing of leaving these 2 fluffy excuses for dogs out in the back yard Xmas day to bark and bark and bark, while we were attempting to enjoy a relaxing family day on the deck in the sunshine if you please.

Our neighbours supported my complaints. I was off work and not very well for a while and simply could not deal with them barking non stop. One night I got woken up by the fuckers at 10:45, I listened for 15 mins (long enough for someone to do something about it you would think) and then rang the council 24/7 number. The bloke that answered the phone confirmed he could also hear the dogs. I hate to think what they were threatened with in the end, but it worked, the dogs are no longer a nuisance in the neighbourhood.

[gwigs]

Give it a big bar of chocolate...toxic to dogs...problem solved.

[mashman]

Get a sound activated claxon. ooooor, go have a word with your local vet :shifty:

[Big Dave]

Ring Council Animal Control.
Job done.

[Quasievil]

Actually dog control will require you to fill out a form noting the barking behavior over a period of time.
They wont just act on a phone call.

a dog control officer is not a fast solution at all.

You'd think so..
My old neighbour had a mongrel mutt thing tied to a falling down corogated shed - the shed was on a 45 degree tilt from the thing barking on its chain, it barked day and night yanking at its chain, at midnight quite a few times I stormed over and banged on her door to shut the effing thing up.

Used to find it crapping on my lawn, I'd throw the poo back over her fence and found one of its many litters in my yard a few times.

It peed all the neighbours off, so council was called by all of us often, we signed papers so she ended up in some sort of hearing..and KEPT the dog!?
Then neighbour on the otherside of us got a boxer, as stunning as it was, it yapped everytime there was any movement anywhere, anytime - we moved out in the end for some freaken peace!

[Big Dave]

My kids left our last dog outside for 2 hours and it barked. (was an inside dog) Animal control was there when I got home. 1st Warning. 2 hours!

[MIXONE]

Got any Tongan or Vietnamese mates?Invite them round for a BBQ...

[Usarka]

Put a plastic bottle full of water on the lawn.

[awa355]

Cooking choclate, works better, and for cats that piss on your riding gear, antifreeze, Apparently, they love it.

[ducatilover]

Have you got a good freezer and a band saw and/or angle grinder?

[JimO]

Put a plastic bottle full of water on the lawn.

doesn't work, urban myth.....the problem is with the owners not the dogs

[ducatilover]

With a live C4 charge in it? Good idea.

[Big Dave]

He want's it to shut up - not go meeeeeeeooooowwwwwww.

[Flip]

What the fuck is the point of having a dog and having to do the barking yourself?:innocent:

[imdying]

If it's only barking at night, how about stealing it, giving it a tummy rub, and letting it sleep at the foot of your bed?

[george formby]

The saga continues, bugger.

On the plus side I have a word of the day, thank you Mom. Vexatious, Mmmmm. Rolls off the tongue.

Well when i had bassets in a built up area I had both dogs debarked....they did a loud cough rather than the booming bark they had....neighbours after constantly complaining then accused me of being cruel even after spending over a grand to give them peace and quiet...couldn't win!

Incidentally, one of the bassets had had the op before I got him and had recovered his bark, he also within six months somehow managed to bark nearly as loudly again. Vet hadn't seen anything like it

[buffstar]

This has always worked for me .....

next time the mutt is barking and driving you nuts go outside and yell at it to "SHUT UP" and then immediately spray the fucker with your hose - not a huge ammount, its not required most dogs hate being sprayed - then when it barks again do the same thing, you'll only need to do this a few times as the dog will quickly learn to listen to you and shut the f*$# up or it will get sprayed...... its not cruel, you dont have to poison the dog ......... or root it :sick:

Finely... you anti doger's need to learn a bit (I know half ya's just taking the piss) Dogs bark for a reason, that reason is usually something the owner does or dosent do... dog control works well down here LOL (had them caled on me) In my case hes a Dobie, breed for guarding, so when people walk past the gate he nuts off, once I was made awear of this as it was only when I was not at home so muttles figgered he wason duty... I have retrained the best I can, but its still in his blood.

Often its a lack of attention from the owner, eg: our farking bermesse, barks meowww all bloody night, missus feeds it, meow feed, meow feed... its laking some attention from us its not bloody hungry.
So... shoot the owner people not the dog, tho ya beter to call the council.
