Default Barking dog next door

We have a dog next door that barks day and night.


That's what dogs do.

Owner won't do anything about it.


Are you inside the city limits? If so, and the dog barks at later hours
(say, after 9pm), the local authorities can /maybe/ make them do something
about it. That would depend on the local statutes.


I have heard there are devices that you can set up near the fence, and when the dog barks, it emits an audio signal that hurts their ears but is too high for humans to hear. The idea is to train the dog to stop barking.

Anyone heard of such device?


Not that works long range. Most sound emitters are attached to the collar.
I would think something on the fence line would cause more problems. Every
time there's a loud noice, it may go off. Plus, other dogs in the
neighborhood could hear it. How would that affect them? At a greater range,
it probably wouldn't 'hurt their ears', but it may make /them/ start
barking.

Your word-wrap is still borked. It appears non-existant, now. =/

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
