Barking dog next door
"Bob F" wrote in message . .. "Stubby" wrote in message ... "Mel M Kelly" wrote in message ... I have a neighbor that has a barkng dog. It will stand at the fence and bark all day if I am out in the yard or garden. I thought about calling the cops BUT the owner is a State Trooper. SO now what. Try a squirt bottle full of hot sauce. I have used plastic lemons with "Dave's Insanity" sauce. Or, how about turning on the garden hose? I had a neighbor whose dog barked at me everytime I came home. I finally just left the hose on with the nozzle hooked on the fence. Pick it up, blast the barking dog. It only took him about 6 weeks to quit barking at me. Still barked at anyone else in my yard. Thanks. I guess you can beat just dealing with it directly. I heard that one reason dogs keep barking is that they think they are being rewarded for doing it -- the barkee comes out, the barker barks, the barkee leaves - hence the barker thinks his barking has scared the barkee away. Another suggestion I heard was for the barkee to become the barker - like you are saying. Go straight over and stay there until the barker backs off -- just like he does. Sam |

Sam My mother-in-law buys me things at Big Lots that she thinks I need. One was this little blue box about half the size of a pack of cigs. It has a 9v. battery and a button. When you press the button, you don't hear anything, but the dog does. I use it when my dogs are being hard headed, and when I work and there's a dog that just won't STFU. It works on about half the dogs. Trick is distance. Not expensive, and maybe what you need. Point it through a slat or knothole, or hold it over the fence. When a dog gets something back that's unpleasant for barking, they will usually back off with continual training. That's how bark collars work. If not, there are a lot of anti-barking devices that you can mount on YOUR property that will give him a pretty good blast that no one else hears. They are spendier, but work when you're not there. And you can disguise them or just say it's a mosquito and moth repeller. Good luck. Steve |

Sounds like the gadjet I tried from a thrift shop. I could see no effect on the dog when I tried it. |
