I have tried most everything (other than moving) to stop a neighbor's dog from barking all day. The owner goes to work and leaves the dog in the front yard where the dog sits and barks constantly. When I go outside in my yard, he REALLY barks at me. I can't sit on my front porch without hearing BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK.

I finally picked up a fairly powerful handheld green laser.

The past few days, when I have gone in my yard, and he has commenced barking at me, I have just pointed the beam at him and pressed the ON button.

He has shut up and turned and gone around his owner's house.

I don't know if it could cause eye damage or not, and frankly I don't care. It's a shame that dogs pay the price for owners' lack of consideration of their neighbors.

But it's cheap, quick, silent, and does not piss off the neighbor . . . as long as he's not home.

One of these (in the narrow beam mode---not the twinkling stars mode):

It's smaller than appears in the photo.

PS: Kids love the twinkling star mode, but don't point it at them.

I don't think blinding a dog is a reasonable response to them barking at you. And the law won't feel that way either.

Anti-freeze is your Friend. Nothing worse then an ignorant dog owner who leaves his God damn dog outside to bark all day.

It's not the dog's fault.

Also, antifreeze has had bitterant added to it for years now.

Yeah, but how do you make the ignorant owner drink the anti-freeze?

Call your county dog warden, every time.

There is likely rules in place for both noise, and time a dog can be left chained/fenced during the day.

He won't do anything to fix it until it starts to cost him money.

It's shit like that is why I won't live in a city anymore.

If it's not some shitbird's dog barking all day/night it's a blaring stereo, if it's not that it's people yelling and screaming and banging shit around.

What did the owner say when you talked to them.

I have the same laser, makes a decent long range illuminator with the bezel backed out for a diffuse beam.
I've never tried to blind anything but I've made turkeys fight each other trying to get the green dot. ??

Depends if you are rural or city.  If rural, you can just burn his house down.  It’s justified cause yer great granppy or other kin was bit by someones dogs round those parts some eighty eight years ago.

OP didn’t say he pointed it at the dog’s eyes. He simply said he pointed it at the dog. This would draw a visible line through the air to the dog like a string stretched between them. That is probably confusing and freaky to the dog who simply decides he doesn’t want to be there anymore.

The responses in this thread are proof that not all Karens wear lipstick.

Be a man and talk to your neighbor.if you don’t succeed, start calling the police.  The fines will get him to comply, eventually.

I feel sorry for the dogs.
It's a lack of training on the lazy owner's part , rather than the dog's fault most every time.

I couldn't poison someone's dogs though.

I think getting the dog to chase the laser and tear the shit out of the neighbors doors and windows would be much more satisfying.

Just throw the dog a wiener every once in a while. He will learn to love you.

Bullshit. I went to my neighbors to bitch about their fucking dogs barking at 5:45 am. I went in my underwear, fuck them. I kept ringing the doorbell over and over and the bitch owner was screaming at me to stop. I said how do you like it, shut those fucking dogs up.

Then, I had my HOA send a violation notice for nuisance dogs. Three violations and the HOA can have the dogs removed. Fuck those noisy bastards and the fucktard owners who allow it.

I clicked this tread just to make sure you weren't my neighbor.

To my Neighbor,
Sorry 'bout the baking dog.

My thoughts exactly.

Also, record the dog and then wait until the neighbor is home on the weekend/weekday and play it back over and over again through speakers aimed at his house.


But talking to him may work too.

I had shitbag neighbors who would do the same and decided to fight fire with fire. I pointed a speaker in their direction and put wolf calls on a loop whenever their dag started barking at clouds.

Insanely cruel and shitty.

Congrats, ARFCom.....blinding a dog isn't good enough, we need to liquify its innards with a caustic chemical causing excruciating pain until it dies.

Fuck, dude. Get your heart right.

OP, call the fucking cops every time until something is done. Don't hurt the dog for its owner's stupidity.

People who leave their dogs outside to bark are trash of the highest order.

Call the cops on them for a noise violation if it persists.

I don't live in the city. I can hear every cunt's barking dog in a 1/4 mile radius every time I'm outside. It's really fucking old.

Neighbor directly across the street has a dog that barks all day long. It’s in the house and you can still hear it down the block. It also lunges at the door/windows (can hear it hit the glass) when anyone walks past.  It’s intolerable in the summer because the dumb ass leaves the windows open (doesn’t use AC apparently).

I bet you couldn’t guess the breed...
