I have been looking at several antibark devices to stop the 5-6 dogs my neighbors have in their backyard from ruining my day by waking me up many times while I sleep.

There are several on the market, including a few on EBay that have mixed feedbacks. Most all are automatic ultrasonic units. One did claim to be better because it was manually activated so other noises won’t set it off.

I have worked with the police/court system on this before and got it to stop. Problem now is that after 1 1/2 of the dogs being stored inside their garage, they have built a fence. Now the dogs are in the backyard again barking.
However it is not as constant as when they were kept out there on chains before. It will be considerably harder to go to court with it this time since they don’t bark over 10 minutes straight like before.

They bark now for a few minutes and just about the time you go to sleep again they fire back up.

And no, killing them is not an option.
I have used ear plugs in the past. Generally I roll over and they fall out. I even tried the expensive wax kind that forms to your ear.

I also have run a fan on high. Problem is the barking is so loud it won’t begin to cover it up. Not even close. A TV set on really loud does good to be over top of it.
These aren’t bark collars, they are boxes that emit sound when a dog barks.

If they bark for longer periods I can file a civil suit. I was close a couple years ago when they agreed to put them in their garage.

My lawyer found a VERY similar case where the person in my shoes won and was the only complainer, right here in my state.
Does anybody here have an recommendations on a specific device? There are about 5 on the market that I see.

neighbors barking dog

Ok so i have some neighbors next door and they are renters so they dont technacilly own the house. They have two pitbulls one a female and the other a male and the problem with them is that they let their dogs out early in the morning ( and im not talking about 7 or 6 am im talking about 1:00 am or 12:00 at night but they never let them out during the day unless they are playing with them) or as i stated before late at night when we are trying to go to bed.The yard is right next to my parents room and so it makes it harder for them to go to sleep at night and they are abruplty woken in the morning by the dogs barking. Also whenever we go into our backyard to play or just to get the trash they always come to the fence and start barking at us. One time me and my siblings were playing outside and they barked the whole time we were outside in our backyard. Also it seems that these dogs have had puppies and they are starting to pick up on their parents barking and now whenever i go outside i hear the pair of them and their little puppies making alot more noise than before. We dont talk to these neighbors and just today my mom was going to put water on our backyard and they were going into their house and she said she heard barking in their house but it sounded like they were in a cage but when she went to the backyard she said it sounded like those dogs were let out on purpose and they started barking at her. These people are the most neighborly and they come and go at all hours of the night. we have had to interact with them before and they werent the nicest people to deal with. I also love dogs and love the pitbull breed and i understand that dogs are going to bark at almost anything and everything that they feel could hurt or harm their family but at the same time our other neighbors have a dog and he is just the sweetest thing and we hardly ever hear him bark even when we are outside playing unless we come right up to the fence and he sees us. So after saying all that my question is what kind of action can we take to reduce the barking of the neighbor’s dogs. nothing too extreme please either.
I live in texas and i dont think we have a barking dog hotline but that would be a great suggestion.
Also they are not walking them at these times of night they just let out in their backyard to whatever the heck they want to and i guess the dogs get bored and start to bark. But thanks anyways and i think that it might come to calling the police or the homeowners insurance. Also thank you for respecting your neighbors i wish my neighbors were like you!
But why would you need a fence dog if you live in a middle class suburban neighborhood? its not like we do stuff to the dogs or we do anything to the owners so why the fence dogs?

HELP I’m going crazy!

My wife has adopted a few Pomeranians. Don’t get me wrong, I love these little critters….just like kids. However, their barking has been driving me absolutely insane lately. They have free run of a large back yard, a doggie door to come and go when they please, and are walked faithfully daily.

When I take them for walks, they are great! No noise, obedient, smart, etc. The problem is they are deafening when someone comes to the door, are outside by themselves, the wind blows, etc. I have tried ultrasonic barkers, remote controlled collars and the automatic shock collars. These all work to a degree, but with this breed being so small, the collars are not designed for them.

My wife has resorted to sleeping downstairs with the dogs in order to let me get a good nights sleep without a barking interruption.

I appreciate your comments in advance!

I just started summer break and I want to sleep in a little because I’m going to start summer in college in a week. But it’s impossible to sleep in because every morning from 9-10, the f*cking neighbors dog barks nonstop. I don’t even know why but it’s so annoying. I don’t want to cause any trouble to my neighbors. I was thinking about using the ultrasonic sound thing and shutting that f*cking dog up, but I have a 9 year old german shepherd myself and I don’t want her to get punished for doing nothing. The neighbors dog barks ALL morning and at us if we are near the fence which is where the tool shed and stuff is. And yet, my dog stays silent. She never barks back or anything. How do I shut this damn dog up?!

Next door to me are two HUGE massive dogs. They look really viceous and huge with TEETH! All night long they bark to no end! I have lost several nights sleep over that darned barking! Aside from shooting them, how would I go about shutting them up? I love dogs myself and it would be my pet of choice, I just am not too fond of those dogs at the moment. Dang Dogs!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! The mangy Rascles!!

I brought home a 5 month old American Staffordshire Terrier mix from the shelter Saturday (4-5 days ago) and he’s getting better at housebreaking but will pee inside if he doesn’t go out the second he needs to. He goes in one spot it seems, right by the gate that blocks off the bedroom where the cats are hiding out. What’s the best way to curtail this issue? I’ve thought about moving his bed there since I know dogs don’t’ like peeing where they sleep, would that work? How about a deterrent like bitter apple? Help please! I’m running out of carpet cleaner!
When I catch him I yell NO! and take him out immediately, he stops and then continues outside where he gets ons of praise and treats for doing his business outside. I use vinegar and water after cleaning solution to help diffuse the smells as well, maybe that’s not helping?
Also, we live in an apartment (a large one but still, an apartment) and thus I cannot install a doggy door.

dog deterrent

He is incontinent of urine and he is ruining my wood floor in the dining room where he has chosen to urinate and defecate. I’ve put a litter box there on top of layers of paper and trash bags. The volume of urine has increased over the last week and I don’t know if its all the cat or if the dog – who is explicitly trained to go out and always has been – is adding to what the cat is doing. The floor boards are starting to warp not to mention the carpet being ruined and the odor and on and on.

The cat is being treated by a vet and I hope you all will help me out if you can without getting into what the vet is doing. Suffice it to say he’s being well cared for but he is very ill.

Do any of you have any suggestions about a deterrent to the cat urinating all over as well as in his box. I will keep the dog in a room tonight and see what happens there. Any suggestions will be very gratefully received. Our cat is 12 and his brother and litter mate died in September 2010 of the same issues that this one remaining cat has. Thanks in advance.
We had to put his brother to sleep because his illness was so advanced that he was desperately ill and keeping him for our sakes would have been cruel. The remaining cat did not show any symptoms until after his brother died. The answer to your question is yes I have considered it. Should I keep him alive and have him ruin part of our house more than he already has? The vet is aware of all this and since we had such trauma with losing the other cat he would like to avoid that for us if possible as long as this one is not in pain. The other thing I tell myself is that since there is already such a large amount of damage I will do the best I can to protect and clean the area and keep him with us unless or until he must be put to sleep. Thanks for answering. I don’t know what to do frankly.

My husband and i want to move in to apartment but the problem is that our 3 little dogs bark when they hear noise. We have worked with them since puppies not to bark. But we still have problems when we are not home or in bed at night for they sleep in there kennels. So i saw this on a web site and i noticed that its suppose to work for multiples dogs. And i really don’t care for bark collars but i need something that is good and will work and good priced.

My landlord is VERY sweet and we get along well and she has an old Lapso Apso who is around 13. I thought her and I are on same schedules but her dog wakes me up EVER DAY at 6:45AM running around my ceiling. Her floors are hardwood so I hear EVERYTHING from the dog pacing back and forth to her walking back and forth, which isn’t as bad as the dog.

During the week our schedules are pretty close even though her dog wakes me up 15 minutes before my alarm goes off EVERY weekday. Every weekend the dog paces at 6:45AM Saturday & Sunday and these are the days I want to sleep until 11AM!

Any advice on what can I do to get the dog to stop? I’ve been thinking about buying an ultrasonic dog clicker to scare it away from that part of my ceiling. I don’t want to ask her to keep the dog locked up in a room until I wake up, that’s not fair to the dog. Any advice would be much appreciated.
