dog deterrent

I have 2 Mastiffs, and they love to chew and chew a lot.
Myself and others play with them frequently and they have about 5 acres that they run on all the time.
They are normally very good, but every once in a while, they chew the porch furniture, the fence to the pool, and the porch itself.
I would also like to keep them from the plants out front. They don’t chew on them, but they are so big, they just smash everything.
They also pull logs out of a woodpile to chew on, and they do this all the time.

I only add all of this so i don’t get people telling me they are bored or have nothing to chew on.

So, what are some homemade recipes?
Just some extra stuff. I play with my dogs almost daily. We also live next to a community property where there are literally dozens of people that come and play with them and run them around.

They also behave excellent. When I am around, they will do anything I tell them too immediately.

Chew toys also don’t work. They are close to 200 lbs each and can snap anything into pieces within minutes.

Is this going to bother my neighbors?

ultrasonic dog repeller

I bought a Yard Guard ultrasonic pest repeller for the deer in my back yard. I know that a dog’s hearing range overlaps a deer’s but I am wondering if it will bother their dogs (they are inside/outside). It would be pointed in my neighbor’s direction, but it has to go about 15′ to my fence, about 10′ more and then they have a fence (both are 6′ wood fences with very small gaps). TIA
I haven’t put the darn thing up YET. I just wanted some opinions on whether the sound range, being interrupted by both fences and possibly a house, could still get to the dogs.

neighbors barking dog

I live in California and have two small children. The people behind us just moved in and build a dog run up against the bordering fence. They also placed the dog house against the fence and the dog is trying to get over to my yard.

These dogs bark & growl all day long. If they make it through the fence or over the fence. Do I have the right to shoot the dogs?

How do you say this en Español?

dog barking deterrent

I bought an ultrasonic barking deterrent for the crazy dogs next door. When the dogs bark, the box makes a sound that humans can’t hear, but apparently it annoys the dogs. The only thing is that people shouldn’t put their ears close to the box when it makes the ultrasonic sound because it can cause ear damage. So I want to attach a note in Spanish (the neighbors are Mexican) saying:

"When the dogs bark, keep your ears away from this box."

How would you write this note in Spanish?
Thanks for the responses! It’s amazing how many different ways there are to say the same thing!

BTW I don’t think it’s really dangerous… after all, it’s not like anyone will be standing there with their ears next to the box, so maybe I shouldn’t put a note at all… but the English instructions do warn you not to put your ear next to it when it goes off, so I feel like I should say something.

Also, since someone asked — the box will be attached to the fence, which is on my property, but it will be facing their yard.

hmmm…

dog deterrent

My dog runs up and down the fence because there are three dogs next door. She’s started making mud all the way up the fence.

Is there anything I can do to stop it? Even if i’ve taken her for a walk, straight after she will run up and down the fence. Even if her little eyes are all red and she’s exhausted, she’ll run up and down.

I’ve tried everything I can think of. I live in a two story house so it’s a bit hard for her to realise, because generally by the time i’ve gotten down stairs to stop her, she’ll run up to me.

If there isn’t anything I can really do to stop her behaviour, what can I put there to stop her.
