Neighbor Dog Barking?

by admin | March 22nd, 2010

One thing that drives my Dachshunds crazy is the neighbor dog barking all afternoon. The neighbors leave their Dalmatians outside every afternoon and those two dogs bark non-stop for three hours. My Doxies get all stirred up and have to bark back and it is quite annoying because I work at home and I can’t escape the chaos. But there are things you can do.

First, call or visit the local police station and file a complaint for the noise. Be very matter of fact and explain that the noise, not the neighbor, is the problem. You can also write to your homeowner’s association and explain the problem. They may get involved and help you.

Keep good records of the days and times of when the barking occurs. You can even document the situation with home video. If you want the neighbor dog barking to stop, it is up to you to prove your case and provide evidence of the problem.

If you don’t get the help you need, you can take matters into your own hands. Purchase and install an ultrasonic anti-bark device on your own property. Aim the device in the direction of the neighbor’s dog. Whenever the dog starts to bark, the anti-bark device will emit a tone that the dog will hear and will not like.
