About had it!

[Glockman9mm]

Like I said I'm not happy with what I did but it had to be done! The neibor threatened me after what I did and said I BETTER not harm his dog again which in all honestly I didn't injure the dog just gave him a rude awakening.

The guy threatened to go to blows the other night and I gave him a peice of my mind with some choice words. Earlier tonight when I left the house to go grab a bite the neibor was sitting on his porch and have me the evil eye. The dog was sitting by his side.

Guess what? The little yipper didn't come charging at me instead he coward away.

I've been carrying a can of spray the past couple days just in case I should need it. In the end hopefully all will be well, I'm not trying to make enemies with the neibors but man something had to be done to stop there shenanigans regarding their dog.

Pretty typical response for a bully - I of course refer to the neighbor with the dog.

You did nothing to foment the situation, you did everything in your power to bring it to a successful and peaceful conclusion, but the bully in typical fashion brought it right to the edge.

It can go one of two ways from here...

1.) All can rest and nothing further will develop, at least nothing with the dog.

2.) Passive/aggressive BS whereby they taunt you for perceived slights.

In my case the offending neighbor moved shortly after shunning by the entire neighborhood. They didn't have a friend here and no one would talk to them or give them a cup of warm spit.

The second nuisance neighbor dog owner (there were two simultaneously) attacked one of our neighbors when he politely asked her to silence the dog so he could study. He was a mid 50's pastor studying for his divinity degree and she slapped him for daring to knock on her door. No forewarning, just slapped him, then called the police and told them he hit her. Police assessed the situation and came to the conclusion she was lying AND had a screw loose.

Then her dog bit the mailman, so it was destroyed. I guess it takes the .gov to be the aggrieved, not the citizen, but whatever, the dog is gone now. She had it penned in a cage outside in front of the house and I don't blame the dog for being lonely and tortured like that. No interaction, just caged like a criminal. People like her should NEVER own an animal.

We have one yap yap dog going off now two doors up, but it's not so bad volume wise. Just the same, the neighbors know how to deal with it and on their own have initiated steps. The dog has been quieted somewhat.

sounds like you may need the spray for the neighbor.

 

[Straightshooter2]

call him up at 3am and bark in his phone.

Make sure though that you have the correct neighbors phone number. A friend got a call one morning about 2:30 and all the caller said was, "You're dog is barking." My friend recognized the voice of the caller as another neighbor. He set his alarm for 3:30 AM at which time he called the offending neighbor back saying, "I don't have a dog" and hung up the phone. I thought the waiting an hour to give them time to fall back asleep before he returned the call was a classic touch.

To me, there's no excuse to leave a dog tied & barking. It is animal cruelty. A barking dog is an unhappy animal. Sometimes you have to train the owners by returning the favor with something louder and more annoying. Last summer I had to blast my neighbors and their 3 mutts with a CD player piping some thrash metal through a Marshall guitar amp for a whole Saturday ... I'm talking Anthrax, Pantera, and Slayer, wide open, on repeat. Haha, I gotta admit, it was really really loud and hard, and got some attention. I left and rode the motorcycle. I ended up making a big deal about it with the mayor and city council, but long story short - the wackjob across the street definitely hustles her 3 fleabags into the house as soon as they start yappin', rain or shine. Sometimes I flip the porchlight on and give her the evil eyball just to remind her of the day the music came alive.

Don't harm the animals, it is the owners at fault, and you could get in big trouble if you get caught.

Josh P ...... Haha, the urine idea is a good one too. That's hilarious. Give'em a golden shower and send 'em home to roll all over the furniture and beds.

 

[forresth]

urine is a bad idea. wet dogs shake. fling some rancid road kill over the fence for them to roll in.

Well I have a hyper active jack russel on one side and on the other side another jack russel. Me I have a 90 pound pit bull who basically ignores anyone and everything and a chaweeni. The jack russel on the other side has this screaming yell that sounds like someone is killing a woman. First time I heard it that's what it sounded like. Since houses here are so far away noise really doesn't matter all that much. Frank
