Help me SHUT THESE DOGS UP!!!

Them being renters can change everything. I would definately give the landlord a shot. Good luck!

I completely agree. My lab doesn't bark one bit and is very well manored. Even while the other dogs are barking up a storm she just looks at me and gives a couple wines. Sweet dog. Stays at me side always and tries to ignore the dog.
It is unfortunate for the dogs but if they or the city won't do anything....
Talked with the wife and we're going to take it up with the actual owners of the house, apparently these people are just renters from what she said. I thought they bought the place. I do own mine so I hope that gives me some pull.

Labs are such great animals, great dogs, I know all mine are or have been the same as yours, very well mannered... I had a American Staffordshire Terrier, very similar to the PIT BULL, mine were always very well trained... he didn't like other dogs very well, but he was retrained or would just go & lay down, when needed, any breed can be trained, even an ex-fighting dog... I completely understand your concerns for you family, child & dog...Them being renters, make it a completely different story, for sure I would talk with the landlord, especially if you can't get it resolved on your own or reason with the renters... good luck
 
I pray for you they are renters! I wonder if the landloard was even aware they had pets? If I were renting property I know I wouldn`t allow them I like dogs and cats but if this was my property I wouldnt want animals there messing up the place, my cats have done wonders on my woodwork!
I once had a neighbor that used to throw a few all night parties our houses are close together back to back. So the next day when they were hung over, I put the stereo in the window popped in a cd player set it on a continuos loop cranked it all the way up and we left for the day about 8 hours. ONE SONG OVER AND OVER ALL DAY LONG! The song,it`s not unusual by Tom Jones. They got the message!

Do they really have whistles that only dogs can hear? If they do I would get one and put it on the hose of my air compressor and when the dogs start barking just let it rip!
 
I am a dog lover and I am not telling you to do this.But my Dads neighbor had the same issues your are having.He talked to the dog owners,called the city etc...No one would do anything to resolve the issue.So what he did was buy a BB gun and every time they started barking he would shoot them.He did this for less than a week.Then I went over to his house and we were watching TV and the dogs started in.He just slid the barrel of the gun out the window and the dogs quit barking instantly.My Dads neighbor said those dogs learn real quick
Now I had basically the same issue and nobody would do anything about it.So went and bought a air horn, a big one.And when the dogs started in so did I with the horn I did not care if it was 2 a.m after about a week and a half the dogs suddenly were put indoors if they started in...funny how that worked out isn't it.

Everytime they start barking,set off an entire pack of firecrackers at once. Most dogs are gun shy if they havent been trained. I have bassett hounds and the tend to bark at nothing it seems at times. But when my neighbors set off fireworks either on the 4th of July or New Years Eve they normally run to their dog house,lay down ,& shut up. Plus fireworks are cheap to. If your neighbor complains about the noise,tell them the fireworks drown out the sound of their dogs.
 
Like they say in the Ozarks, if you can hear your neighbor's axe, you're too close.

That's so true. I really wanted at least 5 acres out of town but had to compermise with wife with 1 in town. I grew up on 200+ acres so this is somewhat confined for me. I also hate others telling me what I can & can't do on my own property to an extent.
I did look into that anti bark machine that was mentioned here and its very intruiging. I do have a concern tho, what negative affects would this have on my dog? She's only about 50 feet from where I'd have this machine set up. She doesn't need to be punished for sure. I'd hate to but maybe have to look into moving her to the back of th property 'till this blows over. Unfortunatly it would isolate her quite a bit.
Alright, thanks again guys!

use an air compressor, that's too funny.... yes they do have dog whistles, that only dogs or other animals with that acute hearing, can hear...
 
I live in a small, ****-burg, town now. I cant tell you how much I hate this f$#%ing place! [Deleted by Staff]. And we have a neighbor who lets his band of roving chihuahuas terrorize the town. These little pukes are allowed to run free and bark at anything they want. They chase cars down the street. I let my dogs out, Sweet William, and the other one, on their leashes, and these little shits run around the yard and antagonize them! Last week it did this while I was out with William. I un-hooked the leash and said "Get the kitty!" My boy lit after him and ran him down! He ran over him, turned and ran over him again, and kept doing it till the little **** found his porch. William is not an attack dog, he was just playing. But at least that chihuahua now barks from his own porch.

Man oh man, it sounds like this barking dog thing is an epidemic!!
I talked to the wife on Friday and she said she's on board with getting the anti-bark machine mentioned above. I told her it was about $90 and she said she doesn't care, its worth it if it works and we can enjoy our summer in the yard this year.
Funny thing happened tho today. We went next door to our good neighbors for Easter dinner. He's a landscaper and said he went to go bid on a job down the road. Come to find out it was the owners/landlords of the house where the dogs are. He told them those dogs bug the living sh** out of him and his wife and they are on the other side of me. He also told them the neighbors in between (that's us) are wanting to ring those dog's necks!
Well today while at home when the dogs came out a barking and the owners were actually at home they came out and were adimate about trying to shut them up. I sopose they had a bit of talking to. So now I hear dogs barking followed by a drunk man, a raspy sounding wife, and a crotchity gramdmother screaming at the dogs to SHUT UP!! I'm starting to wonder if it was better when it was ONLY the dogs barking.
So due to your guys's suggestion I'm gonna go and buy the biggest propane cannon I can find!!! Ok ok, actually we're looking into getting the anti-bark machine. Its probably the best solution. Nobody has to listen to it and (hopefully) it'll solve all the problems. I even moved my dog's kennel farther away for preperation for this. Its actually better for her anyways because I could make her kennel bigger.
Thanks again guys!!
I'll be looking you up if I have anymore problems I need solutions for.
 
peanut butter kisses halloweeen candy. They cant bark with a mouthful

.22 caliber subsonic bullets are pretty quiet.
 
I can see how that would be a pain, I've had dogs that won't leave when my Rott is in heat "bark all night". I first tried those arrow tips made for small game (basically a 1/2 dia rubber tip) and shot them with my 70lb compound, next day they where back. Where I live if a dog is a pain we shoot it, done, over, finished and yes my neighbor shot one of mine as well. I know it sounds cruel but the bottom line is if your going to own a dog take care of it and make sure it isn't a nuisance. By the way, I love dogs.
 
Most states have laws that support using deadly force on dogs. Usually worded as a "perceived threat". But that only goes for animals off their property and on yours that are causing trouble. Although I've had to do it before, shooting an animal should be an absolute last resort. Certainly, the OP's problem isn't that the dogs are getting off their property, so shooting them seems a tad excessive.

Yea, shooting would probably be a bit excessive especially being that they're in their own yard. But there is a chain link gate that could be left open for an opertunity to arise for them to be on my property......... ok, thats not nice either. I really just want them to stop barking. The best choice now is the anti barking machine, but let me tell you how I have thought about using my little 17HMR... very quiet and very leathal. but only tought about it....REALLY!! lol
