Next door's dog ...

[tyred]

Just drown him out with some nice soothing music. Get yourself a decent amp and speakers

Just meeow at it, to wind it up even more. It'll go apoplectic first - then die.

Dig a big pit in their garden and put some big jungle leaves over the top, then put a bone on the far side, the dog steps onto the leaves and falls through, hey presto you've now got a barking dog in a pit. I don't know if that helps but...

He's probably just curious,make a hole in the fence so he can come round and see you and have a look round,that should quieten him down.

 

[Dayvo]

He's just warning you to keep off his turf. Talk to him in a normal voice and he'll quieten down.

Frankly, if this is the biggest stress you've got, you need to get a life!

If that's the biggest stress he's got, it sounds like he's got a life.

Reg, The Dog Whisperer, maybe you can get him to come round to give you a few tips.

Take a supply of sausages out with you and keep lobbing one over every time it begins barking.

Positive reinforcement, it'll associated shouting loud and long with getting a nice reward.

Harsh comment @User. noisy neighbours, however many legs, are not fun.

Get a dog whistle. Learn to play 'Hound Dog', 'Hounds of Love', etc on it. Late at night, early in the morning. That sort of thing. :-)

 

[Stephenite]

Or tell the neighbours the barking is interfering with your rendition of 4'33"! On the dog whistle.

I get on well with the neighbours, but their dog is a tw@t. They've had it for about a year, and it is basically out of control. I see their childminder walking it, when she takes their kids to school, and it jumps at people, other dogs, etc. They had a previous dog, that died, but which had attacked my dog before it snuffed it. I don't think they know how to keep a dog. They also let their young kids walk it, without supervision, and I have seen it attack other dogs, beyond the control of the kids.

Quick call to the RSPCA? Not that they will do anything in the slightest. Have you tried talking to the neighbours?

It's just dawned on me:

Fnaar's a nobber: it's one of these -
