Call the police. That's why there are noise ordinances and police to
enforce them.

Supersonic sound generator? Drives dogs off their heads! Hard on the
dogs but 'might' work?
Then there was the neighour who made recordings of the dogs and played
them back all day while out at work.

Heh! In one video, the neighbor has penned pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, etc.
Piles all the poop up against the common fence. When the poster's
grandchildren come out to play in the sandbox, the neighbor starts SHOOTING
(at what was not stated).

The sheriff refuses to take any kind of complaint and the county judge has
the same last name as the unruly neighbor. In fact, the poster's
granddaughter played music "too loud" at 11:00 a.m. on a Saturday and the
poster was fined $25 for "disturbing the peace."

While your proposed solution works in most places, well, I'm just glad I
live in a state where the "But, yer honor, he NEEDED killin' " defense is
available.

Here are 2 methods I don't recommend:

One real estate agent (in CA I think) got mad at another and ran an ad on
Craigslist. It gave an address and said they were remodelling the house and
needed to gut it. Come by and remove anything you want, but don't destroy
anything.

It was the address of an empty house the other realtor owned. Many showed up and
picked the house empty.

Another in Miami posted an ad pretending to be a hooker. He included the phone
number of a competing agent.

That was on national news. The person who ran the ad was prosecuted I
believe.

Some people don't live in cities/towns and some have almost no noise
ordinances. Austin TX is one of them. Nothing until after 10:00pm.

Not if it is zoned agricultural. (at least where I used to live)

Been there, done that. They would come out and talk to the people but
also told me there was nothing they could do. Told me to call animal
control to see if the dogs were being abused.

I also had a damn rooster next door that would start crowing at 6am on
the dot until 7am, the time I had to get up for work.

Needless to say I got little sleep when I lived in that house.

Thank god it was a rental!

If you can't make the owners behave like humans, and the law won't help you,

This is true. However the OP made the strategic mistake of complaining
about the dogs. This should never be done because:

1) Dogs barking for a long time and the owner does nothing about it,
ergo the owner is not a reasonable neighorbor and will not solve the
problem.

2) Multiple complaints to dog owner result in no improvement.

3) Dogs are found in the "big sleep". Guess who is the first suspect?

Again: never complain about dogs if there is even a remote possibility
that you will have to take corrective action.

P.S. I live in a rural area and have several dogs.

Good strategy.

Another kind works, assuming you can be fairly sure you'll get an
intelligent cop when the neighbor dials 911 on you: Clearly tell the
neighbor "If your doesn't stop doing (whatever), I will kill the dog." You
have to have an "if" in there. I did that with a neighbor, and she knew
exactly where I live because I pointed to my property and said "That's mine.
If your dog keeps crapping in my flower beds, I will kill it."

A cop came to the door and asked "Did you tell your neighbor you were going
to kill her?" I corrected him and explained the situation and what I really
said to her. He said "I understand. I'll take care of it." He went back to
the neighbor's house. Never saw the dog again. I'm guessing he told her "How
about you obey the law and you won't have crazy neighbors threatening your
dog?"

Very good. Very, very good advice.

I actually told my neighbor I APPROVE of his barking dogs (I really do). I
can't hear them from the bedroom side of the house and they tend - I hope -
to discourage burglars.

Kidnap the dog.
Enroll it in a two-week obedience camp.
Return the dog.

Sure, it'll cost a significant amount, but shouldn't you pay for your

Put on some gloves, slip over in the dead of night, undo their chains,
and open the gate. They are barking because they are BORED. Better a
life as a stray, than a life in a cell with no pack to interact with.

Assuming animal control is no longer an option. I recommend the OP
explore the world of rap music. If the neighbor is as red neckish as
they sound, you should be able to get very far under their skin with the
proper rap tunes cranked up very loud at strategic hours.

I'd say get to know the neighbor's hot buttons. We know yours- losing
sleep at the hands of barking dogs.

If you think rap music will work I recommend you try Foxy Brown. She has
some filthy stuff out there. But you've got to get the uncensored stuff.
On track 14 of the album I've used at times the reprise is "I'm a mothua
****ing bitch.." I can't tell you how many nosey neighbors I've 'fixed'
with this track..

If that wont work, check out where the prevailing wind is coming from.
Is the wind blowing from your property to theirs?
I had a home where the wind came from one direction most of the time
(the ocean).

So, I used to park my 2 stroke scooter (a lawn mower may also work just
as well) next to the property line, lined up with their big sliding
glass doors of their patio. I'd leave that sucker running as long as
necessary to drive home my point.. No matter what, people have to
breathe..

Abusive is when an owner lets the dog bark for 24 hours and does nothing
about it. That's abusive to the dog and to the neighbors. Sometimes
antifreeze is a plausible alternative to end the abuse of several parties.

The owner's fault? How do you reason with an idiot? (Not you, the owner.)
