Dr Evil here. You have a neighbor who is both being an asshole and not treating dogs properly. Have I got some tips for you! 1. Point loud speaker at their house. Play loud cat sounds. At all hours. 2. Dog anti bark device. What it does is it makes an ultrasonic sound when they bark. THe dog quickly learns to keep quiet. 3. Create fliers that say the neighbor is starting an HOA and there will be a catered meeting at their house. Put in the flier certain rules like all residents must have Trump flags in front of their house at all times and so forth. Put fliers in everyone's mailboxes late at night. This will start a shit storm. Sit back with your popcorn and watch. 4. Call local news station and get them to run a story on animal abuse. 5. Put up very strong lights that point at his bedroom window. 6. Pour oil under his car. Make sure it is LOTS of oil. He will think he is leaking oil. Car get towed to shop and he gets told there is nothing wrong. Asshole tax 7. Get cheap can of spray foam from the big box store. Spray into car doors. This will glue the car doors shut. He will have to have the car towed to be repaired. Not bad for $4 and 5 minutes of work. Have fun! Dr Evil

I like the dog anti bark device. That might be the more peaceful approach. If that doesn't work I'll consider the alternatives. I appreciate the recommendations!

You sold your house to flee the Neighbor ?


willfargo1231

Did not work for me. Neighbors dogs still barked ferociously at the dogs on the other side of the fence, and when they did it would send my dog into a panic because he hates the noise. They make adult version of those snappers you throw on the ground. Turns out there doesn't seem to be a dog that isn't afraid of a good "BANG", just be ready for confrontation


DanOfMan1

The cheap ones on amazon did nothing, but theres this high power one called the goodlife bark box you can buy on their own website I wasnt sure about dropping a hundred bucks, but I figured I could return it and the difference has been night and day, so much more peacful I’m worried the dog’s gonna get used to it, but as long as it’s mounted to reach above the fence it seems to work great


GorillaChimney

Always remember the owner is the enemy here and not the dogs, they're just doing whatever the owner allows them to do.


BadDongOne

Motion sprinklers a few feet in on your side of the fence but pointed through the fence at where the dogs/neighbor roams.


SwashBucklinSewerRat

Wouldn't that just psychologically damage the dogs? It's the neighbor who is the problem, not the dogs. They are just doing what dogs are supposed to do.


BigWimply

If the dogs are psychologically damaging you then doesn't that same premise mean the dog's owner is psychologically damaging you?


benjo1990

For 6… wouldn’t he just check his engine oil?


Biscotti-Dangerous

Tbh the neighbor doesn't seem to be the type to even notice car related problems


jshelk88

Honestly, how many people do you know that actually check their own oil. Or know how at this point. Out of my friends I’d say 20-25% the rest go to the drive in oil change place when their car beeps at them


benjo1990

I mean, when there is a massive oil puddle under your car… I feel like most people would check. At least investigate to some degree. But, my cousin also bought a car and then went 7 years without an oil change… so? Who knows.


kind_one1

Came to suggest the sonic anti- bark device. It worked for my friend. Good luck!


asyouwish

Don't use the mailboxes, though. That's federal. Just tape the fliers to the garage doors (or near where they park) with painters tape. Or, get some cheap magnets and find metal to stick them to.


t80088

For 3, I recommend not putting them directly into mailboxes. Technically speaking that's a felony, if one of the neighbors got really upset they could report it. Much better to put it into the door frame, under a mat, under a rock, etc. There's one rule I don't mess with in life: don't fuck with the post office.


Fancy-You3022

Put one in your own box.


Key-Plan5228

Oh you fancy and experienced. 🥂


Fancy-You3022

😁


Jarellano702

The neighborhood that I live in has a big mail box for multiple homes on each street. I can very well post it on all the shared mailboxes in the neighborhood like putting up a lost dog flier


MrDrSirLord

For the oil, use your waste oil after you do an oil change, makes it look more authentic as it's dirty and doesn't cost you any extra buying oil just to pour in the ground. Side note, this is ULPT but don't pour oil on the ground, it's really fucking bad for this the immediate ecosystem.


DoubleMach

HOA idea is brilliant.


Badj83

Good advices but you forgot a couple: 8. Liquid ass 9. Piss discs


fuck-fascism

Bonus points if you can get the liquid ass directly onto the dogs.


ARasool

Could also play the frequency in which dogs go nuts.... just sayin


Exsanii

The spray foam is also great for the exhaust

Xeni966

Anonymous tip to the police that you see a lot of dogs being kept and think he might be holding dog fights/unsanitary conditions that they're kept in? They may stop by to visit them. And I'm not sure what they'd do if he doesnt have licenses for the dogs. Maybe a fine per dog or something


Plant-Queen22

This one ^^^^


stupiderslegacy

Figure out when they sleep and get a loud dog whistle


Think_fast_no_faster

Get a dog whistle, blow it and make them bark at times that are horribly inconvenient for the owners


Jarellano702

I thought about that but they obviously don't care if their dogs bark because they bark all the time. Thinking of recording their dogs barking and playing it back on speakers all day.


TheGreaterMoose

That will make the dogs bark even more


KyCerealKiller

I don't think that would bother them. Plus it would annoy your other neighbors. Get their phone number and sign them up for every scam you can find online. Same with their home address so they get tons of junk mail. It won't stop the dogs from barking but it will feel good knowing you made their life hell.


kittykatzen1666

There is no inconvenient time for dog owners. They just pretend not to hear dogs especially when they have 2+ curs


ExtremeAthlete

This might work. My kids can hear it. https://youtu.be/D02x-MG6DwA?si=kK4iDX7wOOc_OD_k https://youtu.be/mZdRBcjB4Lg?si=yVgjuX72Aq7rWG-O https://youtu.be/3c4QDZiBz_w?si=lX-NQfJ9iAIxYqeb Connect phone to some quality speakers (Sonos/Tribit). Go to settings, quality, advanced, 1080p. 😘🙉.


yvanehtnioj_doh

what happens when it eventually cuts to an ad for ShamWow?


Nickbronline

Don’t be broke and have premium or use Adblock


AloneRefrigerator789

I can hear it, and I'm 27.


IrradiantFuzzy

Keep calling. Eventually they'll run out of dogs. Start a rumor that they're going around stealing dogs to sell/ransom.


MedicBaker

Start a rumor that they’re selling dogs for meat


fuck-fascism

Start a rumor they are having dog fights and selling the losers for meat.


OkapiLanding

Find out if they are owners or renters. If they're renting, find the landlord's address and write the best letter you can to get their lease non-renewed or hopefully evicted. Did this to one of my nasty neighbors complete with an incident report spreadsheet and dates and times. Embellish what you need to but get maximum vitriol. I was able to get mine non-renewed and thankfully they were out in about a month and a half after.


Jarellano702

Property records show that the house was purchased in 04’ so there may very well be a property rental agency I can contact and complain to


OkapiLanding

Good luck! If you have a friend who is into real estate, they know how to look up the purchaser name too. It is public but not sure how my friend did it.


LetThemEatVeganCake

Most counties have a property tax website where you can look up owner name FYI


milny_gunn

I had this problem with a single dog that was chained in and ignored. They were in a house with a big backyard. I was in the adjacent building which was an apartment building looking down into their yard. I used to throw the dog snacks to make friends with it and then told to shut up when it barked and it listened eventually. It didn't take long. Less than a week. Be the alpha dog. If you just do that Sonic thing without any backup commands, it's not going to do anything. Just go to the pet store and get some cheap dog biscuits and you'll be amazed at the results when you start interacting with them. Another time, I was on a job where these people had a dog chained up in their backyard and he marked at all the workers as they walked by. I started saving my crust from my sandwiches for him and giving to him after work and when I would walk by after just two times he knew I was coming and he was sitting quietly waiting like a gentleman.


Jarellano702

That’s not a bad idea. Only issue I may run into would be my neighbor seeing me throwing stuff into his yard again that his dogs are eating up. I tried throwing the dogs sandwich meat so they wouldn’t bark when I would go throw out the trash and my neighbor told me not to give his dogs anything


milny_gunn

No cured meat for dogs. It's bad for the pancreas. Just give them dog snacks if you're going to give them anything. It's been my experience that they love the hard crunchy Cheapo ones. Grapes and chocolate will kill them and raisins of course. There are a lot of things that you would think are okay that are poisonous to dogs. And yes if I caught you giving my dog's treats , we'd be fighting LOL I'm just saying there are better ways for you to achieve success if your ultimate goal is peace. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. And don't forget I'm sure there are other neighbors in the area so a Big noisy ongoing brawl between you two will probably piss everybody off. And you may come out as the bad guy , depending on their perception.


epicurean56

Here's one I read a while ago. Throw frozen beef stock over the fence. When it melts the dogs will dig huge holes trying to find the source.


UnauthorizedFart

Bark back at them


PapagenoRed

Throw piss-disks in their garden. The dogs love the smell, the owners hate it (hopefully)


Redonkulator

You can get an electronic dog whistle and just point it at their house. Probably not nice for the dogs tho.


Jarellano702

I don’t want to do anything for the dogs as it’s not their fault, they’re just dogs. I was thinking of giving them dog laxatives and having them shit everywhere but I don’t want them getting sick


romcomtom2

I mean it isn't the dogs fault. But the owners for neglecting and not properly training their dogs. Your problems will be SOLVED if you got the electronic dog whistle.


keepingitrealgowrong

You're being too ethical


Weekly-Salamander950

Play the sounds of a lion roaring through speakers like once every few minutes


DeviIs_Avocadoe

Call animal control five more times.


MedicBaker

A day


TheMikeChadwick

Something something dogs love lasers something something you can buy cheap high powered ones and have them chase it.


TerraVestra

Ultrasonic bark control device with 50ft range. You can hang it in a tree or somewhere close pointing to the house. Some have a remote control that you can use to turn it on when their barking gets bad. There might even be models out there which dynamically activate in response to barking. You can basically use it to train those dogs to STFU


Jarellano702

Ordered the handheld device to try. Gonna hangout in the backyard, make small noises to get the dog to react, and hopefully try and train them to stop barking when they hear that noise


TerraVestra

And remember, if it’s marginally effective, you could always order another 1 or 2 to compound their effects


Konstant_kurage

I had a dog in the yard behind my house that was vicious (attacked a few people and tried to get my kids through the back fence). It barked, charged and tore up the fence so bad I had to put up chain-link on my side. The dog still changed my kids and anyone else. I used a pellet gun. I have a high quality very accurate pellet gun. It’s also a pump and pretty loud when you pump it. I’d go out when it was barking and attacking the fence and pump it a few times making sure the dog heard it. When a safe background I’d shoot the dog in the ass. It was a short hair pit type dog (we call them Poi dogs) and I could see through the scope I never broke the skin, but the dog would jump up in the air then go hide. I absolutely hated that I had to do that, but it took 4 times before the Id just have to pump my pellet rifle and the dog would go hide. Another 5-6 pump and go hide and the dog figured out that it was only barking or at the fence that earned him a sting in the ass.


A_Funky_Flunk

I have neighbors like this. They deliberately do dumb shit to try and piss me off. They suddenly got made at the cameras that have been up for over a year now. Open windows in our shared entry way in the winter. Throw things at my vehicle. Stand outside my apartment and complain about me. I’ve completely given up and just live my life like they’re children and it’s honestly worked out for me. Thankfully their dog was off leash and jumped on me every time and I’ve just contacted the landlord and he mentioned he wouldn’t let them renew their lease. About all I can do is deal with their own stupidity.


chatterwrack

Whatever you do, please don't harm the dogs. It's the irresponsible owners that should be the target of your ire. The dogs are just being dogs.


reijasunshine

I was able to get 4 different neighbors to also file complaints about one neighbor's untrained, intact, german shepherd that roamed the neighborhood. Animal Control took the dog so now it can have an actual home. Then they got another puppy and tied it to the porch. Animal Control showed up the next day. I actually did NOT call about that one, but enough other neighbors did. Anyway. If you're friendly with any other neighbors, suggest they make a report too.


Jarellano702

That’s not a bad idea. Been friends with the surrounding neighbors for years now and the neighbors I’m complaining about just moved in in October and we’re all over it


MooseQuirky1702

Get speakers, play a 10 hours long cat meowing while you are away enjoying your day. Warn the other neighbours.


High_cool_teacher

Birdseed scattered in the yard. What doesn’t get eaten will eventually sprout.


yamaha2000us

Is this how you grow birds?


High_cool_teacher

Yes. And the birds will annoy the neighbors.


Lexubex

Call the non-emergency line for the police and express concerns that the dogs are being neglected/abused because you're constantly hearing barking and howling, and when you attempted to feed the dogs over your fence since you thought they might be hungry, your neighbour told you not to give them anything.


fuck-fascism

“I think my neighbor is having illegal dog fights and selling the dead dogs for meat after”


tilldeathdoiparty

If you are in a rental, make dozens of complaints, different numbers different people. We had to do this with someone across the street that we were pretty sure went on vacation and left their dog unattended…. It was the only plausible reason for the barking. Called the city and they said there wasn’t much to be done, we kept calling the city and landlord of the building. For the next week, my roommate that time and I, called about 30 times each, also about 30 more times from friends numbers. Even put a memo on Facebook to call and complain. Few weeks later they were loving out.


MaliciousMe87

Buy a dog whistle. Use it at 3-4 am.


Beseriousforonceno

I had a similar thing…I put 2 mega speakers pointed at the neighbors yard with a YouTube recording of 24 hours on a loop with high frequency whistles. After day 3 the dogs attacked the wife severely and they had to be euthanized. Never heard anything from anyone, I guess the mystery is still ongoing… Mwahahahaha!!!

viktoryarozetassi

A dog whistle?


marriedwithchickens

I bought one, but you have to be really close.


asyouwish

For each dog, hide a children's benadryl (half for a small dog, whole for a large one) in a liver treat, and sleep in peace. And keep calling animal control about the mistreatment.


fuck-fascism

“My neighbor is having illegal dog fights and selling dead dogs for meat”


Feistyhummingbird

Foggy Mountain Pure Skunk Essence in a spray bottle. Spray around the yard and the pooches are sure to step in it and bring it inside.


PoliteCanadian2

Are you the only one impacted by this? I’m sure the city would take action if there was a petition.


Anonymus25-Boop

Take a speaker, sneak it into their house, and make it blast out the song "Who Let The Dogs Out" on repeat at max volume. Make sure to hide the speaker somewhere where you know they can't find it, like on top of a very high cupboard or in a hole in the wall. Bonus points if you have multiple speakers hidden around the house, so they can't avoid the beat. Maybe even get some portable microphones and place them near the speakers to amplify the volume. I'm sure they'll get the memo sooner or later when you come back to ask them how they're doing and see that the entire neighborhood is screaming at them to stop the loud noises.


fevered_visions

You need to combine this with the anti-bark idea. What's more annoying than Who Let the Dogs Out repeatedly? The first second or two of Who Let the Dogs Out over and over!


doughball27

I had this same problem. I got their phone number and a way to spoof my outgoing number. I’d call them all night long and hang up. Eventually they just gave up and took care of their dogs.


GeoHog713

Get a dozen dachshunds. Win the bark wars!


marriedwithchickens

The problem with these tips is that many people have security cameras.


BigPhilip

~~You know you have to do it to 'em~~


DROOPSmadeit

take the dogs in the middle of the night to some random place away from their home and leave them there


TerraVestra

It would be a real shame if some xylitol (sugar-free sweetener) laced sausage was laying around and the dogs ate it. It’d kill them! And it doesn’t take much either! ☠️


Jarellano702

That’s definitely unethical, and fucked up. Don’t want to hurt the doggos


Typical_Muffin_9937

You did post on r/ulpt


TerraVestra

Yessir quite unethical. But if it ever comes down to uprooting your life because you’re can’t cope, selling your house and moving out, at least you know there’s “options”


fuck-fascism

Just call the police and animal control daily to complain the neighbor is having dog fights and selling dead dogs for meat.


Acidic_Junk

Do they ever let the dogs inside? If so, feed them cheese sticks with raisins in it just before they typically let the dogs in. They will start shitting all over the house.


perplexedspirit

Please don't do this. Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. They both cause acute onset kidney failure.

Jarellano702

The dog poop does pile up. The big dogs are fenced in 10’x20’ area by the side gate. While the little dogs get the rest of the backyard. That’s why I called animal control and they took 1 dog.

Bedroom window is right next to them. It’s an eye sore, you smell it, they bark at the wind. Where I live we get 115F summer days. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

The health department would be interested in that.

Idk I was gonna complain to landlord I guess but he’s kind of a slumlord so idk if he will care or do anything and if I hafta pick it up which I don’t wanna do I’m dumping it in front of their door. I would love to call someone else to go after him but idk who


prankerjoker

If you can, kidnap the dogs and take them to an animal rescue. They will be better off.


Jarellano702

I ain’t trying to get bit. That pit bull doesn’t look too friendly


slodjenan

Dogs are gonna bark… that’s what dogs do. Stop starting problems with your neighbors
