dealing with a nuisance dog
get the dog barking early in the morning,3:00 to 4.00 am,when the dog's
owner is sleeping,get on the phone call the dogs owner, don't give your name or say anything just start barking, hang up wait 20 or so min. do it again, wait about a hr. do it again. It took three nights for it to work for me, then I heard "BARK,BARK,BARK,YIPE!! never heard another bark, never saw the dog again, did see a small pile of freshly turned earth behind Fido's dog house though |

--This is evil. If a dog is raising a ruckus he's usually got a
good reason and more than half the time it's a negligent owner. Next time report to petfinders.com or humane society and they'll find the dog a proper home. SWMBO rescues critters and, in my experience, there's no such thing as a dog that can't be cured of unsocial behavior, once relocated to a (mentally) healty location. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Somehow related Hacking the Trailing Edge! : to Lumpy Adams... http://www.nmpproducts.com/intro.htm ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |

Dogs aren't happy when separated from their pack. Putting the dog outside at night separates him from his pack. Makes them neurotic and barky. --RC "Sometimes history doesn't repeat itself.

Just as people differ, so do dogs. I've had 3 good ones, and the current one is loud & rock stupid. The only thing different is the dog. |

I've never heard him bark at night, and we sleep with the windows open when possible. Only when someone is outside, in an adjacent yard. My yard is about 300 feet deep, and he covers all of it |

The dog thinks he's doing his job - protecting the perimeter. He's just overdoing it due to lack of supervision. the owners occasionally let the dog in the house, but mostly he's outside with only an aged chihuahua for company. Chihuahua barks too, but only as a muted accompaniment. |

Decades ago I had a white german shepherd that was dumb as hell. But he yapped constantly. We tried like hell to shut him up, finally got him a new home where his barking was not a problem. Next dog was just the opposite - silent and smart. |

Several good dogs, one not so good one. What has changed? C'mon, it's not a tough question. |

Put on a set of their noise cancelling earphones, plug in your favorite music, Sit down near the fence with a cold beer (or beverage of choice) and read a good book while the dog drives the neighbour nuts. Throwing the odd treat to the dog (optional) while all this is going on may also tend to cure the problem.
