    Nothing, instead I'd ask the owners to sort it out.

    We had that problem, theres nothing a bit of rat poison can't sort out!

    Dog whistles won't do much. It probably will give you sore ears though, you don't hear dog whistles but you'll notice a tinnitus feel in your ears after a while of blowing the whistle. I tried that with a dog next door once and it just annoyed it a bit and didn't stop it from barking more, sometimes it made the dog bark at it.

    I conisdered to post on the Pet forum, but thought more *inventive* ways could be sourced from here.

    Ive got a nice pair of GI ear defenders, i bet they could protect me for a little while. hmmm

    Ask for help in the Shooting forum.

    Used to have the same problem - especially at night. Used to phone the neighbour's an odd night - if I was kept awake, so should they.

    Bought a ultrasonic device online, but didn't get a chance to use it as I moved away, don't know if it works.

    Plus a haoin.

    I have a "dog dazzer" here (which is pretty much an electronic dog whistle).

    Fairly ineffective at little more than making the dog mad (and loud), although it's supposed to repel them.

    The problem invariably lies with the owner rather than the dog anyway, but you might as well be talking to the dog in many cases.

    jump over the wall/fence and throw the dog into your garden and see how the owners like it for a change

    This in its self is a banning offence of late or so I've heard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,230 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    You could do what some guy in the US did. He threw a firework over the wall and the dog caught it. RIP Dog.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    You're going about it all wrong.

    Make friends with the poor little helpless puppy. A mans best friend and all that. It's that or spend your nights thinking up new ways to kill it.

    You won't notice as you'll be running in the opposite direction. :pac:

    Usually barking dogs, that aren't reacting to disturbance, are looking for attention, or are bored.
    Anytime I have problems with barking dogs, I go out into the back garden...the dog will stop barking for a wee bit to see what you're going to do...the instant it starts barking I let a roar at it. I'll have to do this at most 3 times before the dog gets the message and pipes down for the night. In oither words you pretend to be a bigger dog and they STFU because of pack mentality. It wakes my neighbours but I couldn't give a sh*t.

    Get a megaphone.

    When the dog starts barking, every time he does shout into it and out a window
    "Would the people at house number XX please do something about their mutt - I'm here studying the Kama Sutra and the doggie position is one your animal keeps pestering me about!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    As you are asking what would we NOT do to a dog.

    You should defo not give it chocolate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,936 ✭✭✭LEIN


    Have a very loud party tonight! Later when some one is drunk enough challenge them to kidnap the dog!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush

    Priceless, esp when the kids ask what the dog is trying to do, and that cat can sure fight back.:D

    had very same problem with my own dog.. ended up buying a collar in the vets, ninety euro i think, only put it on at night...when the dog barks it gives a little shock to its throat.. brilliant.. so get into your neighbour ask them to consider buying it..
