Boy, where was THIS discussion when I had a barking dog as a neighbor. None
now that I live on the boat, but I sure would have used these ideas!

Thanks. Don't mined if I do. Cheers, and may I toast you on such an
astute
observation.

Dirty secret. If I'm up at 4:00 AM because the neighbor's dog is out
making
noise, I'll sometimes dose my cat (Rosie the Horrible) with catnip, let
her
out, and toss cat treats along the fenceline. Drives the friggin' dog
nuts,
and there seems to be no limit as to how much the the cat's willing to
spend
along that fence. The dog ends up with its neck and legs completely
wrapped
in its chain. Much more fun than calling the cops to enforce the noise
ordinance, which doesn't work most of the time anyway.

I wouldn't call it in as a noise violation.

I'd call animal control. If they are that irritating there is a
possibility of abuse.

I think there would be a greater probability of achieving a favorable
result.

Well, let's continue collecting ideas. Here's one: Cook a large northern
pike and give it to the bad dog - the whole fish. Ever seen the Y-bones of a
pike's skeleton?
