First apartment I moved into... someone I shared a wall with would apparently leave their dogs in a room when they left for the weekend or whatever to bark and bark and bark. Second apartment... some bitch moved in after a few months and would bark at everything that passed by their door. Moved into a house with a friend... a few months before we left, a neighbor got a dog and would leave it outside - about 10 feet from my bedroom wall - to bark for hours and hours. Bought a house in a very quiet neighborhood... a month ago, a dog started barking and it hasn't stopped.

Every time I provide possible solutions, like training the dog or not leaving it out for nearly as long, it becomes a temporary solution and a day or two later it's back to barking for hours at a time.

Who the **** could possibly think it's okay to leave their dog outside for everyone to hear, especially at 7:00am or 11pm?!? Apparently, just about everyone. It's mind boggling.

If your dog has been outside barking the entire time you've been reading this, go **** yourself with something long and sharp and pointy and rusty and infected with AIDS and herpes and leprosy and necrotizing fasciitis while oozing puss and the tears of raped nuns, only after taking care of that incessant noise, you ****ing oblivious piece of shit imbecile.

Yeah I've never understood how a dog 3 houses away that is annoying me somehow isn't also annoying the people who have the ****ing thing in their yard.

And the ****sticks who leave them outside to bark all day long while they're at work are the worst, especially if you are painting the outside of the house next door to them and have to listen to it all goddamn day. Eventually I figured out that if I took my radio over to the fence and pointed it towards the dog at maximum volume they would eventually shut up. If not, I'd spray the ****ers with a hose.

As far as the one next door to you, you could try something like this:

Thanks, didn't know something like that existed.... I've thought about dog whistles, but up until now I've gone place to place fairly quickly and didn't want to spend the money and effort (too bad they follow me everywhere I go ).

This one is across my backyard, so as long as my TV or something is on, I can't hear it, but it's a constant annoyance when I'm getting ready for work or I'm outside. I complained about it once to the owner and they were nice and all, but the quiet didn't last long. I don't know how they aren't getting multiple complaints a day... I guess it's part of the Midwest; people don't like conflict. Anyway, there's a tree in the corner of my back yard with some bushes and stuff, which should be <50 ft from where they chain the dog.
