Are you suggesting shooting at or toward someone's house?

I have read a lot of bad and illegal responses in this thread.
However this one is criminally irresponsible and could get someone killed.

Has the OP considered talking to said neighbor? This might be a long shot but a privacy fence in front of the dog pens will defect most of the noise and help with the problem.

I would never fire a weapon of any type at said neighbor's house.

Doing so would just create more problems for the OP...

Might want to try something like the following. It works from a distance, so you may be able to place it on your own property.

Stop neighbor's barking dog, 60 day FREE trial, if our device fails you pay nothing

These work. I had one of the cheaper ones that stopped 2 labs (mine) from barking. If I bought another, it would be the birdhouse version. I built an enclosure around mine. lasted several years until the weather got it.

-oh...and its cheaper than a box of ammo to boot.

There's no noise ordinance? My cousin has paid hundreds of dollars to her city government because she lets her dogs bark all day. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, call the police, a lot. Eventually they'll get so tired of hearing your complaints that they'll find something to ticket the neighbor for.
 
Wow, many good replies.
I have looked at the the units that send out the noise to stop barking dogs, but do not think that will work because of the distance. It is probably 150 yards or maybe a little more to where they are.
I kind of like the portable air horn suggestion. I need to find out more information about them.
I talked to the Sheriffs Office just 2 weeks ago again, and they do not want to get involved in the whole mess. I have recordings of the dogs barking for long periods of time. I took them to the Sheriff and the Dog Warden, they listened but that was it.
They did talk to them a couple of times. The lady insisted that her dogs are just guarding the property and that is why they bark.
The 357 or 44 works really well, as does a laser at dusk or dark.
I found out one thing, the lady that lives there told me when I talked to her about the barking that they had moved there from the big city. She told me that her brother had shot and killed a drug dealer gang member and that they were afraid that they may be coming. I have heard gun shots several times with cars with those stupid big mufflers speeding away. This has happened several times.
I feel like putting a sign up that says they are up the road.
So that is what is going on. I really hate that they moved in this area. I tried to buy the place, but could not get it done.
So it looks like the horn, playing the recorded barking really loudly, or even a bird cannon or something like that may be an option, I just have to figure it out.:confused:

Benedryl (spelling?) is a dog sleeping pill. On a vet's advice I used it to sedate a dog who hated riding in cars on a coast to coast road trip. Worked like a charm.

Benedryl (I can't spell it either) will indeed work like a doggy sleeping pill. The Vet told us to give our Lab one twice daily for her allergys and she is always down for a couple hours snooze afterward. The active ingredient is the same in the cheap store brands. (even Dollar tree)

Forget about asprin. Nobody here would really poison a dog would they?

Normal aspirin isn't harmful to a dog; buffered aspirin is. There is one brand of buffered aspirin that I know of and its call Bufferin. Everyone one else has unbuffered aspirin. I give my dog one low dose 83 milligrams aspirin when she's ran too hard like after a hunt. It helps with the soreness. Two normal dose would be too much for a dog.

Benedryl is fine to give to a dog in low dosage. My dog caught a honey bee once when she was a pup and got stung in the process. Half her face swelled up. The vet recommended Benedryl. I don't remember the dosage but it was less than what would normally given a child. It made her sleep and in about 3 hours she woke with the swelling gone.


The OP didn't say how many dogs are we talking about. Is the person a pet hoarder or are these dogs simply pets? How does the neighborhood feel about it? Perhaps, you could form a neighborhood board? Along those lines, you could also form a neighborhood watch as a trade off of giving up their dogs.

Another option is let them keep the dogs but de-bark them. It cost perhaps $300-$400 per dog which wouldn't be much if everyone would chip in.

The situation sounds kind of senseless. If the dogs are constantly barking, then the owners would/should be desensitized to it. Kinda defeats getting a guard dog(s) in the first place. At that point, it more of being an annoyance, "My dog barks, try doing something about it."

My vet told me this morning that the recommended dosage for dogs is a milligram per pound of the dog's weight.

I can safely give my little rat terrier half of an adult-dose Benadryl twice a day for contact allergy itching.

I don't see that kind of dosage solving the OP's problem, however.

Well, isn't that just ginger peachy...

You have the potential for a hell of a lot worse problem than barking dogs. Does the sheriff's office know that part?

Yikes! Sounds like barking dogs is the least of the problems there.

Get a tape recorder, and record the dogs going ape for hours and hours.


About 2 in the morning, turn that recording on pointed at their house.

If you use a varmint caller with the ability to play recordings, then you can set the thing off remotely from the house.;)


They will get the message quickly.

I used that method once on obnoxious humans that lived in the apartment next to mine. The apartments were the townhouse style: living room & kitchen downstairs, bedroom upstairs. Neighbors kept playing loud music every evening. Banging on wall didn't help. Talking to them didn't help. Calling apartment manager didn't help.

The loud music would stop every night around midnight. So, I took my stereo system upstairs and placed the speakers facing their bedroom wall and when their loud music stopped each night, my loud music would start about 15 minutes later when I figured they had just gone to bed.

After two nights, problem solved.
