This may be a first time for this topic. I have covered windows (blackout shades covered by light blocking velvet curtains) on one side of my HT. Recently there has been a German Shepard behind us (another neighborhood) that stands on top of it's doghouse (above the fence line) and barks all evening and night. I've already had animal control and the police department go out there but these lame ass people only take the dog away for a long enough time to prevent being fined. When I'm watching movies I can literally hear him barking away during every single moderately quiet scene.

My question is, does anyone have an idea to block sound from windows without resorting to permanently covering them? I'd rather shoot the dog but I don't want to watch movies from a 13" B&W TV in my cell.

Cut up a bunch of dry sponges, dab bacon grease on them and toss them over the fence.

Some kind of window plug that fits tightly into the widow frame. Make the plug out of one layer of plywood/MDF for dimensional stability and then some acoustical absorber (fiberglass or cotton insulation). Cover with a fabric so it looks nice.

You can use weather stripping to seal the edges.

There are legal remedies and you might want to read the materials here:

Add call of the wild, snow buddies, and air bud to the line-up.

Or make a plug of a layer of plywood, a layer of Drywall or two and some cotton or fiberglass insulation.

Check Amazon for "Super Bark Stop" its an ultrasonic emitter that works up to 50 feet. When the dog barks it send out an annoying pulse. Sooner or later the dog learns. If your sneaky you could place it where the neighbors cant see it.

I've actually looked at this idea. I've read some feedback on Amazon that sadi these don't work because the dogs learn to tolerate it.

Thanks for the link. I am reading through many of the articles now! Very interesting reading.

Negative reinforcement with pepper spray may work.

-OR-

Video tape recordings of the dog, phone recordings of police calls, time and date log of "incidents" and a strongly worded letter with information on possible civil action may get the ball moving if talking to them doesn't do anything.

Perhaps introduce a female german shephard to it? :)

Just a thought. Is the dog possibly barking at the sound that is escaping from your theatre? If you can hear it, then it most likely can hear you. Maybe you're preventing it from sleeping and it's just getting pi$$ed off and barking.

I hope never to catch some of you anywhere near my dogs.

Keep on calling police and animal control. The one thing cops hate is having a return call to the same house multiple times a day. That is the quickest way-trust me.

Keep calling.

I've not had to deal with barking, but the neighbor would send his lab over to mess in my yard instead of their own. Wouldn't clean it up, wouldn't keep his dog on his 1 acer lot instead of send him over and would ignore requests to take care of the issue.

My solution so that the neighbor started to make sure his dog did his business in his yard instead of on my front steps was a plater of pickled eggs on the step right before they locked him up in the house for the day.

Stanley Steamer was over the very next day and I've not had an issue with lab bombs for some time now.

My dogs don't bark, or at least rarely, and never more than a few seconds. It was easy to train them not to bark. The owner of the dog Robz is having problems with probably just doesn't care about the barking problem. That is the big issue to be solved, not the dog's barking.

Perhaps introduce a female german shephard to it? :)

They actually have the male and female seperated and that is why there is a recent problem. The male is locked in a small area with a dog house that allows him to look over the fence.

Just a thought. Is the dog possibly barking at the sound that is escaping from your theatre? If you can hear it, then it most likely can hear you. Maybe you're preventing it from sleeping and it's just getting pi$$ed off and barking.

Actually, the dog barks on and off from around 5-6PM until the morning. It is a nearly constant bark on some nights.

The last time this happened (around four months ago) the police went out a few times and animal control did as well. Then animal control "supposedly" sent them a certified letter warning them of a fine or further action. It stopped them for two or three months but it obviously hasn't had a long term impact.

My problem is I have a very short temper and when it wakes me up I want to "take care" of it right at that moment. Not a good situation. I'm trying to be civil and it doesn't seem to work.

Send the owner information on "no bark" collars, assuming he is still on good terms with you. The one I used on my dogs electrocutes them when they bark. It has two sensors that must both be activated to electrocute the dog. One senses the noise of the bark, and the second senses the sharp vibration from a the bark. The collar has an escalating punishment through 6 levels of pain, and an auto-shutoff if the dog continues to bark for safety reasons. Both my dogs were fully trained not to bark within a few days of putting the collar on them. That was well worth the $60 approximately.

Around here they will actually fine the people $50 per offense. Like I stated before I would just keep calling. After a couple of fines-they'll get the hint. It's not the dogs fault, it's the owners that suck. Don't penalize the dog, he just does not know better. Our german shepard use to bark at the neighbors, which lasted all of about a month. A shock collar, outside of his normal invisible fence shock collar took care of the problem.

I'm not sure how big of a community you are in, but try calling the PD and speak with a Srg. or Lt. Tell him your problem and ask him what he thinks should be done. Generally cops hate low priority calls like this, but they are required to still answer the dispatch. Like I said before a couple of times out and they will want to put a stop to it even worse than you do!

My neighbor uses one and it has remained effective on a trio of dogs.

if you can hear him inside your theater, maybe hes barking at your movies ;)

Well there goes my theory then...

This is just way too funny for a Tuesday!!!

Well, you could make a window plug by taking a piece of 1/4" plywood, cutting it to the window size minus 1/4"-1/2", and adding two handles to it for easy insertion/removal.

Then cut a piece of OC 709 to the same size and glue it to the plywood.

Attach another piece of 1/4" plywood and then add a final layer of medium density upholstery foam (2-3") to the outside.

Cover with a piece of blackout cloth.

Add 1/4"-1/2" weather stripping to the inside of the window frame and insert the plug. Be sure to leave about a half inch of space between the window and the plug.

I did this for my theater's window (which faces the street) and the only noise it doesn't eliminate is the ridiculously low frequencies generated when someone is blasting their car stereo's sub right in front of my house. (Fortunately none of my neighbors do this, the only time I hear it is from a passing car, rarely.).

So you punished the dog for the owner's lack of cooperation with you? Nice! :rolleyes:

How is that punishment for the dog? He got to eat, had a sweet BM, and then didn't have to clean up after himself. Sounds pretty good to me. Some of you guys are acting like people are shooting dogs or something. Seriously.

Well, he really liked the eggs. He ate the whole plate, literally. Critter ate the paper plate the eggs were on.

I punished the owner. My other option was to build a potato gun and launch lab bombs back over the fence. I figured eggs was a more "ninja" approach, attack from inside and all that rot.

:D

Get the owner's phone numbers (work cell and home) and recruit some neighbors and have everyone keep calling while the dog is barking. They likely block out the dog barks, but repeated phone calls may annoy them enough to take care of the problem.

Or a nice bowl of anti-freeze.

I'm not recommending this because it seems like you're in a city or suburb. My dad has always said "follow the 3 S's: Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up." Of course, that really only applies if the dog is on your property.

A former co-worker of mine was instructed by a sheriff's deputy to shoot an offending dog that ran across the property line and confronted his wife with barks and growls. The dog was lucky because the dog's owner heard the same thing from the deputy and decided to change his ways.

BTW, I hate cats, but love dogs. And as others have said its the owner's fault not the pooch's, but sometimes you've got to protect what's yours.

It would be a shame if the gate was accidentally left open and the dog took off...just a shame.
I had a neighbor a few years ago with, god I'm not sure what kind of beast it was, dog run on the side of the house ( mine of course ) smelled like crap all the time and that thing would bark constantly. Waking the baby up all the time...Tried the friendly neighbor approach, nope did not work. Got to the point I would spray it with a hose and it would shut up for half an hour or so. Made me nuts. Anyways, the dog was old and guess it had a seizure one day and croaked......oh happy day......then the neighbor accused me of poisoning the dog! I admitted I hated the animal, but not enough to do something like that. So now I am known as "the dog killer" with all my good neighbors. So moral of the story, call the cops like stated above, they will put pressure on the owners to do something about it. Or you can always use my services.... TDK.

We had trouble with a completely arrogant couple. Both were lawyers. They knew how to thwart the system... the SPCA, the City, the police... all of it. Finally the city said, "Well, if you're going to keep this noise up we're going to have to change the zoning of your property to match." That's how obstinate they were and that's how seriously the city took having their power thwarted. Threat of a zoning change did the trick because it would have lowered the value of their house. The dogs shut up forevermore.

This was in San Rafael, CA.

BTW, where I live in Sonoma County, CA., it's legal to shoot loose dogs who bother people or livestock. Neighbors (and us with our three dogs) take this very seriously. Dire consequences make people take responsibility for their beloved pets.

Waking the baby up all the time...Tried the friendly neighbor approach, nope did not work.


This is also a concern of mine. I have another little one on the way and I don't want this mutt to cause us or the baby to lose any sleep.

I finally got the animal control department to send the owner a certified letter warning them. They said that they would take it to the judge after 10 days if the owner fails to comply. In the mean time I'll dream about that shoot, shovel, and shut up theory. The owner is a security company and I would not doubt that there is a camera or two around the perimiter of the house.

You should be recording a video of the dog standing on the dog house barking his head off in the middle of the night.

Might prove useful in future complaints.

This actually happens more than you would believe. Very seldom does the "good neighbor" approach work... anyone who cares enough would stop the dog from barking before people complained.

Option A: Every time the dog barked at night I would go to the neighbors house and ring their doorbell until they answered, then politely ask "please quite your dog down, I'm having trouble sleeping" then walk away. If it starts barking again, go over 15 mins later and repeat. A few nights of this and they'll either stop the dog from barking or get nasty enough with you to where you're ready for option B...

Option B: Find someone with a saltwater aquarium that has polyps or mushrooms. Take a single one, blend it up and squirt it into a hot dog. Throw the hot dog over the fence.

While I don't condone hurting a dog without a cause, this is a cause in my opinion. I'm sure others will disagree.

I don't understand people.

Why would someone NOT take care of this?

I have a dog. I take him for walks. If he poops on someone's yard (which doesn't happen often unless I can't stop him in enough time) I ALWAYS pick it up with my little baggies. Well I always pick it up regardless.

And IF he barked (which he does not because I would correct that RIGHT AWAY) and someone complained I would be extremely embarrassed that it bothered someone enough to ask me to stop it.

Again I just don't get it. It's like people with bratty kids that don't discipline their kids... same scenario except it's with a furry one heh.

I like the idea of the doorbell, but you know that would just cause more grief for YOU than the jerkoff with the dog. So like others wrote I would just call every single time until the police did something permanent.

I agree on the good neighbor point. If these people don't have the decency to keep their dog's quiet in the first place, I doubt they'd be civil about it. Also, they actually live in a different subdivision and are not really "neighbors". To make things worse, I live on the border of Mexico (literally on the border) in Texas where a large number of people here are drug dealers, etc. No joke. A man was kidnapped from his house two weeks ago (about five miles from me) and was found shot execution style in a field. Drug cartel stuff. There are plenty of mini mansions occupied by these people all around my area. I'm not afraid of dealing with any of these A-holes around here but sometimes you have to consider the safety of your family in these situations.

A few months back, I called the police on them (dog owners). The next morning I woke up to the back window of my SUV shot out. Of course I assumed these people were seeking revenge. Turns out it was a group of kids that shot out windows with a pellet gun all throughout the area (I drove around and noticed about 20 cars without glass). Opened my eyes a bit though.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the decency and respect for others that you do. Lets face it , the world is full of ashholes.

Rob, you have no idea how much I feel for you. Satan's whore next door loves to start it up around 8:30am every morning when some neighbor walks by on the main subdivision road. Goes on for an hour or two. Then quiet. Then the air moves, or a leaf falls, and it starts again. Walk on my back porch. Barks, tries digging through the fence to eat me. Dog is messed up. Yes, it is ignored by its owners somewhat, but it's just messed up. It barks at every moving thing it can see.

Ordinance here is they have to be barking continuously 30 minutes. 30 minutes? Are you f-ing kidding me? At 9am, when I normally go to bed around 3am or 4am, 5 minutes of barking and it's time to shoot the bitch.

But it's time to torture the dog. Maybe a whole bank of those ultrasonic devices would be fun.

I take it you find then that much of the outdoor noise you hear in the house appears to come through the windows?

I'll have to try this out for the window that's directly between my bed and where the dog sits on its doghouse each morning. If it cuts it down to levels I can sleep through, mission accomplished.

Where do you get OC709 and md foam?

This one goes almost non-stop on windy nights. I can almost predict times when I know it wont shut up.

When I called animal control this morning, they said the officer went out to observe for 20 minutes (probably 5 minutes) but did not see the dog bark and did not proceed with a citation, etc. 20 minutes during the day when the dog is asleep!


Person calling police: "My neighbor keeps beating his wife and kids every night when he gets home"

Police: "We'll send a patrol car out to check in the morning." :confused:

Next day, Police: "We didn't observe a beating this morning so there's not much we can do." :mad:

I have three dogs; an Akita, a Lab and a half Chow half Husky. They don't bark unless there's a reason... ever. Whenever I hear them I know someone's coming down the driveway.

I take the Lab to work with me. He's in the car, hanging out at the office and I hear him bark maybe once a month... literally.

There's lots of growling and snarling when they play, but that's fun!

I just don't understand people who isolate their dogs to the point where they're just barking machines. Poor things. Youu have to pay attention to them and they're happy.

We have had two Akita's and they are great dogs.

FFFFFantastic dog and friend. A real member of the family. If somebody arrives who isn't comfortable with dogs, a quiet "g'won", snap and point of the fingers and he's gone. He wasn't trained for this. He just knows what you want and wants to cooperate. Needless to say, the arriving guests are amazed.

I'll go on and on about these dogs... stop me!

Hey! Hey! Hey! No dog love in this thread. Lets keep it on topic, canine torture (zappers, sponges, etc.). :D :D :D

My dogs are kept in with an "invisible fence". Does that count as dog torture? ZZZzzzap!

You would think the barking would bug the crap out of them too.

Had the same issue with a neighbor. Spoke to him several times. Tried to be nice about it but the enevitable happened. He got tired of me asking him to keep his dog quiet, dropped the f- bomb on me.

So I called his house at 3:00 a.m. and barked at him over the phone.

Message received!

I swear the dog was gone the next day, never heard any barking since.

Pretty childish but you can't argue about what works.

So I called his house at 3:00 a.m. and barked at him over the phone.

That's really funny... conjures such a picture in my head. I can just see you doing that.

I hate owners like that. If you are not willing to let the dog stay in the house at night, you should not get a dog. especially if you are going to ignore the barking all night long.

I have a Basset Hound, and as a bread they are barkers and howlers, and when he barks he sounds more like a Rotweiler than a 60 lb dog. However, if he goes outside and starts to bark, he is brought right back in the house, so as to not annoy the neighbors. I couldn't imagine leaving a barking dog outside all night and getting all of my neighbors ticked off.

Remember though, it is not the dog's fault he is left outside all night and ignored. Keep calling animal control and maybe they will take the dog away and he can be adopted by someone who deserves to have him.

Damn Shepherds! They seem to taunt me after every session of barking.

I tried it on my dog and he wouldn't wear it. Do you have a secret.

OK since nothing's happening on the thread for a while, how about an Akita story?

My Akita (Kemo) is cat-friendly... the nose-touching sleep-with variety. (as are all 3 dogs) I mean REALLY. But my cat doesn't know him. So Kemo comes into the house for a visit, wanders into the bedroom where my cat is. She hisses at him. He stares at her in disbelief, head pulled back and up a little. Then he looks up at me, gives a disgusted "mruff!" turns and walks out of the house. I tried to call him back but he wasn't having any of it. He just keeps his steady walk... out the door... completely ignoring my calls.

Poor guy. His feelings were hurt. His body language, look and walking out said, "Who the hell is this? She doesn't know me! That's no way to treat a nice stranger when you meet him. I'm outta here! F#ck this scene!"

"I have a Basset Hound, and as a bread they are barkers and howlers" Basset Hound bread? Perhaps if he bakes the offending dogs into bread and consumes the evidence...

Yeah, she's a great dog, really smart too. But best of all.....quiet. The only thing thats gets her going is lawn mowers and weed whackers.

Yeah... quiet dogs are the best. As I've said before my Lab barks maybe once a month.

My dog only growls/barks when it is necessary...Otherwise he knows better...;)

Maybel is our 3year old basset hound. She is the best. She rarely barks or does anything else wrong. She likes to watch movies with me too. Unless the movie has too much gunfire in it. That makes her a bit jumpy.

yes, and my favorite part of it all is when these cute dogs lick you all over after having spent half of their time licking their own asses, di**ks and va***nas !!!! and whatever else :)


ah sweet !

Have you thought about shooting the dog.... at least with a pellet gun? That might reinforce keeping quiet. I keep a pellet rifle on hand for geese that traverse my lawn. Keeps them away and is fun to boot!

Either one would likely get you charged with animal abuse, as would taking any other approach out of the Michael Vick school of animal husbandry.

I had to call the cops on these F'ers last night. They got home at night and locked the dog in in the back area where it would not stop howling and barking while sitting on top of it's house looking into my yard. I feel sorry for the dog. When he sees me he stops and just looks at me without barking as if he is saying "hey you, over here. Give me some attention". Another case of A'hole dog owners.

Sorry, saw the title and had to make a Berkowitz reference.


Yup, wish there was a way to regulate both who could have children and who can own dogs/pets.

Maybe pop a sleeping pill in a hot dog and throw it over... the dog gets a meal and sleeps through the night :)
