Dog barking, how to stop it?

[Maha]

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?

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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.
