I have a new neighbor behind me, who has transformed our quiet area into a
noisy one. The primary culprit is a miniture pinscher that barks
constantly whenever anyone is in sight. Our lots are 1 acre or larger, but
all I have to do is step out my backdoor and that shrill bark is a constant
until a few minutes after I get out of sight.
I bought one of those ultrasonic Bark-Stoppers, but it doesn't seem to
bother it much, although it did at first. I think that's a good idea, but
needs a LOT more power. Any idea where I could get a high-power ultrasonic
noise generator? Or what I would need in order to build one? I'm no EE,
but I can solder 2 wires together.
The other possiblity is a board fence along the property line.
Thought about planting a line of bamboo along the fence
And of course I'd shoot the SOB (and I get strong temptations), but
it's really the owner that's the problem. They have a "So what?"
attitude about "my" problem. Besides, it's illegal. And I'm in the
county, so there is no city ordinance.

Any other suggestions?

I once solved a problem like yours by placing a radio near where my
neighbors could hear it. The dog barked, and I switched on the extension
cord that connected to the radio. I was lucky and my neighbors decided to
control their dog.
If you are willing to invest money it could be easy to fabricate a device
that automatically energizes a high frequency - high intensity speaker that
is activated by the sound of a dog's voice. You and I couldnt hear it, but
the dog will experience discomfort shortly after it barks.
