First off, yes I left the basement and talked to the husband about it. My neighbors are cool except for this stupid dog. It is really the wife's dog and she is hyper sensitive. She has already convinced herself the neighborhood thinks she's an overbearing mother. (she is )
The dog never shuts up. Any time it's outside, it's yapping and yipping. It wakes my kids up or makes it hard for them to sleep. Shooting the dog is not an option, but I would like to annoy the F*ck out of it. Is it possible to buy some sweet directional ultra-high pitch sonic device? Or should I just spray the damn thing with a hose? ETA: Sonic device needs to have serious range and power. I want this dog to run. |

Nice, OP...torment a poor dog for its bad behavior when the owner is the one who deserves it for her lack of training / socializing the animal properly. If you have to make someone miserable, you need to target the wife and her henpecked husband for their failings, not some yappy little dog with a brain the size of a walnut, no matter how annoying he is.
Hope you can come up with a better solution that aggravates the neighbors themselves, they sound like they deserve it. |

I like it...not quite what I was thinking, but that should get the point across. Was thinking OP could tape a nice long hour session of yapster, save it for an evening when things are actually quiet on the neighbor's side (or they are sleeping at 3 am) and play the bark session nice and loud just for them. Or work up a nice low frequency noise generator, directed at their house...the ultralow frequencies supposedly play hell with peoples nervous systems, and they start seeing and hearing things. A few weeks later when they surmise their house is haunted, a for sale sign goes up and they are on their way out. OP could come up with something if he really put his mind to it. |

Install a nice set of dual pane windows. You'll never hear a thing. Or very little of it.

Mail them singing cards for every holiday, but re-program it to play their dog barking when they open the card. Record their dog barking and set it as your ring tone before going to their house. Or your alarm tone. Set alarm to go off every 3 minutes. Hang a banner on the fence (their side) that read BARK BARK BARK YIP HOWL BARK BARK BOB BARKER in giant font. Go to the local ASPCA and clean them out of brochures and business cards. Fill neighbors mailbox with these materials. |

OH HEY ITS YOU!!!! I happened to overhear your neighbors mom in the waiting room at the oil change place last week. Really. Her daughters yapper happens to be a 'special needs' dog, and deserves only the utmost love and support for its unique snowflake condition. You (and the other people who don't appreciate its incessant yapping) need to get over yourselves and quit complaining.

3 step program..
1) Talk to neighbor: politely inform them of the problem and ask for their assistance in rectifying it(Your such a nice neighbor!). No good? okay...proceed to step 2 2) when dog is making a racket, call them (repeatedly, if necessary) and express concern that something is wrong..."is Fido okay...he's been barking non-stop for an hour...I'm worried he might be tangled or something" ..they might get tired of hearing from you.. Still no joy?...okay, we tried to be nice...proceed to step 3 3) Google "amplified phone ringer"..Radio Shack used to sell them...you want the "outdoor" model "...about 110db. Install amplified ringer facing neighbors house and connect to home phone. Call your home phone with your cell phone. Repeat as necessary. Should sound like an tractor trailer is parked on your lawn and somebody is playing with the air horns. With their house shaking, windows rattling and car alarm going off every time you get a call, I bet you will find them more receptive to finding a resolution to the "Fido" problem. |

You could play one of those tracks that lure in a coyote. ....it sounds like an injured animal
|

Play this loudly through your stereo
Or just go meet the fucking dog and play with it. Let it get to know you. It's more likely to STFU. That's what I did years ago when a close neighbor had an annoying yippie dog. |

Leave the dog alone, Get yourself a backbone and confront the shitbag neighbors,
it's not the dogs fault that its owners are inconsiderate assholes.

Research your locality noise ordinance(s).
Our borough doesn't allow a dog to "bark continuously and/or incessantly for more than 10 minutes, or 30 minutes intermittently. Any time of the day or night." Call the po-po. |

My neighbors have 2 annoying dogs that like to yap alot, but they also cook me barbecue and give me beer, so I'm willing to overlook the dogs.

So while YOU shouldn't have to be the one to do it, you can fix it for about $40. I have 3 rescue dogs who mean a great deal to me. They're all dachshund / terrier mixes, and they can be a little yippie. Making things worse - when one starts, they all go nuts. One doesn't like bicycles, one doesn't like squirrels, and the other doesn't like other dogs, and we live in a touristy area with lots of the above I did some research and bought them the PetSafe spray anti-bark pet collars from Amazon. It sprays them with citronella when they bark. I thought "citronella? Really? No way that will work." I was wrong. Those things work like a champ. Maybe an early Christmas gift??

on one of my former message boards, one of the posters used some kind of reflecting dish that's suppose to reflect and amplify a dog's bark back at itself if aimed properly.
IIRC she was still setting it up, and hadn't even aimed it yet, and the dog barked a few times, stopped in surprised, barked again and then stopped. I guess it learned quickly "bark = this annoying sound that I don't like" |

Move Dogs bark, some bark lots thats life Move? Did you say move? Because of a barking dog? I agree. OP should annoy the dog so it barks incessantly so that the owners will be forced to deal with it's Yippy ass. Owners of smaller dogs usually suck ass at discipline....which is why I think they get smaller dogs in the 1st place. |

We used this to shut up a neighbor's dog: http://www.amazon.com/Lentek-Super-Bark-Training-Device/dp/B000N2N9DU It worked beautifully. 1) Get up the nerve to talk to your neighbor. Be prepared with a reasonable solution. Be ready to compromise to some degree, the neighbor has the right to let their dog outside, but you have the right to some quiet. 2) Next, if you asked your neighbor to keep the dog quiet and you followed up with several request to no avail, it's time to call animal control. Explain your situation to them and what you need done. Hopefully they can talk to the neighbor and get through to them that it is against the local noise ordinance to let the dog bark all day. The only drawback: neighbor war. Forget about the friendly waves when you see your neighbor in the yard, you'll get icy looks instead. Might be a good tradeoff for some peace. 3) Animal control is a bust. The neighbor now leaves the dog out day and night just to spite you. You have lost the reasonable enjoyment of your home. Time to hire an attorney. In preparation you need to log the problem dog's behavior with the time and length of barking. Also a video camera of the hellhound in all it's barking, whining and howling glory would help. Go to court, hopefully you'll win. 4) Move. This barking is never gonna end and you are gonna lose your sanity and kill someone. You lost this time, but you win in the long run, peace and tranquility! |

Get a piece of Ex-Lax and put it in the middle of a ball of hamburger. Feed to dog.
Once the ExLax works it magic, every time the dog barks, it will shit. It WILL quit yapping, and the look on the dog's face is priceless. |

Slip it a dog biscuit soaked in ham grease whenever it is outside. The neighbors will get tired of cleaning up runny dog shit throughout their house every morning. Dog will be found a new home in a few days.
