superfurryanimal 91 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 do they actually work ? next door keeps 2 russells that they leave out right by my kitchen window about 6ft away with a small wall between us, anyone walks past and they go bananas barking and its driving me insane, they don't even come out to try and shut them up, I asked the wife if she could move them cause they got a big garden at the back, after a massive argument her answer was that I should shut my kitchen window (in this heat) and that she doesn't give a f**k were her words !! my daughter cant do her homework at the kitchen table cause she cant concentrate so she goes to my parents to study, to top it all off I come home today and they've only gone and bought another russell pup !!!

neems 2,406 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Never tried one but I wouldn't have thought so. a hose or water gun will,but that might escalate things. Failing all that,if they don't keep an eye on them they might go missing,then turn up at a local shelter... it might even happen every time they're left outside yapping away unattended.

paulus 26 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 you local council will issue a noise arbitrament notice giving them 3 months to sort the noise issue if you give them a call. i know i have had a few over the years, not nice as i had no warning, but if she has taken that attitude it would seem you have no alternative, trouble is they will wind each other up at every opportunity Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SINDASOX 256 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Know exactly how your'e feeling, got the same problem with Yappy pet Russels by me, dogs have never been corrected for barking since a pup, dogs let out into garden and just start barking at fresh air. They are never corrected or chastised ever.....they just get come on, come on, and then 30 seconds later they are back out again yapping like feck. Tried to discuss it with one of my neighbour's recently and their reaction was he is not barking when you are in bed so it is ok. Dog never gets walked because they are to lazy, constant dog barking does my feckin head in, and then when you get people with the attitude that they are doing nothing wrong makes it worse. Got loads of pet dogs around here up on the windowsill's (inside) Barking like lunatics and feck all ever said to them. SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery_Weasel 460 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have used one in the past but I honestly can't say how effective they are as mine were howling which doesn't set them off because they rely on vibrations from barking. Mine cost me 15 quid though so it's probably worth giving it a try as it might fix the problem and it's better than reporting the owners etc. You can have the one I have if you're ever passing north Yorkshire Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SINDASOX over the years i have received a couple of noise arbitrament notices from the councils environmental health dept, the usually take the same format, formal notice of a noise issue, 3 months to sort it, mate of mine has been taken to court twice by them due to his terriers, adding the costs and fines plus soundproofing his kennels he is over nine grand down, so if they want to do something about it, they can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,412 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 How are you going to put an anti bark collar on a neighbours dog?,,,,,surly they will just take it off....

SINDASOX Got kind of the same thing here, a neighbour has two yappy fanny lickers. They also got a dog flap... 3/4am sometimes. And Im guessing her bedroom is on the front of her house, so she dont hear it. Shes the type who thinks her shit dont stink. Newly moved in, she tried sending some fencers round to take over some of my land, they got told to do one. Now shes put up 2 aviaries and is now dumping her seed and shit in her neighbours overgrown garden, causing an influx of rats and mice, which everyone thinks is coming from mine cos ive got 6 hens, not to mention 2 ratting terriers and a cat... I might have to get some of them 90% cocoa bob martin dog treats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,504 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Mine is the one pissing me off, what's the best bark collar which isn't gonna dig into his neck wearing it in the kennel? Every tw@ walks past ours talking loud and every car that stops slams its fecking door which sets him off and I'm at the end of my tether with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
