I find it hilarious this thread is the most popular one on the Pets forum. Just goes to show what a plague barking dogs are and that people won't stand for them any longer.

What I find amazing is how territorial a dog can be when NOT in the presence of its supposed owner. Just finished having a case thrown out of court for shooting a dog that menaced me in my garage, but it took two years to get there. It took the same two years to get my hearing back! Take note of that if your ever have to use a pistol indoors for self defense.
Well, damn if the guy down the street didn't replace the deceased vermin dog with another worthless mongrel Rottweiler that he won't keep contained in his backyard. It won't ever, ever, ever shut up either, until yesterday.
Saturday was our first unseasonably warm afternoon in a while, so I thought to change the coolant on our car. After draining it into a big metal pan, I pushed that out from under the car, and what should appear but that dog.
He immediately starts lapping it up, and I try to shoo him away. Well, who am I, a meer human, to chase him away from his antifreeze? Nearly attacked me, so I quickly backed off (more like leaped back). I was actually thinking of how to get him away when the light bulb lit up..."Hey, let him have his fill; problem solved!" I'm almost cetain he drank a quart of coolant before he trotted back home.
It's pretty quiet tonight.
However, how most people can be such total idiots in keeping animals, not training them, letting them wreck other people's property, or worse...pose a direct physical threat to other people or other animals....damn, it's beyond my understanding.
If they can't spend the time, they shouldn't have anything with four legs, teeth, claws and fur on their property, nor letting said animals roam around. I don't expect people to spend the time I did and pursue elevated levels of training. Just expecting them to have a proper level of control...and even that takes a lot of time.

Funny old world we live in, isn't it!
WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all, we're the ones who deal with the problem of vermin dogs and live happy lives as a result! I'm still torn between which of these two was the better experience: finally seeing Wagner's Parsifal at Bayreuth (I guess "losers" is too thick to understand that reference) and enjoying a bottle of champagne I couldn't really afford while watching a neighbor's yappy dog scream for hours and shit its guts out before it died on account of eating a poisoned burger.
Great thread.
sick Motherfuckers i wish you faggets where my neighbors and tried to poison my dog i would fuck your asses up so bad and put you in an instant world of pain bitches. And believe me after multiple tours of battle to Iraq i have learned various ways to do that. Fucking bitches do something to someone that can do something back to you not to some helpless animal that doesnt have a voice and cant fend for themselves.

Spot on! Dogs are incredibly dumb but even the dumbest canine pest will soon get the message that it's a good idea to keep quiet if barking leads to pain. What's needed is the equivalent of blowing a football whistle right into someone's ear as loudly as possible every time the mutt barks.Very true - I've tried a couple of anti-barking devices and also found them to be useless. The manufacturers have to make them humane to appease the pro-dog lobby so any possible effectiveness is lost. The device really needs to HURT the dog to shut it up, if it's a serial barker.

The commercial devices are useless as they produce at best a mild irritation for the dog, which the dog soon learns it can safely ignore. It's the equivalent of saying "Mummy's not very pleased with you, darling" to a kid who's deliberately smashed all the crockery.
If there were an effective bark-stopping device on the market, the only people thinking about killing dogs would be the nutters. Alas that's not the case. I've blown it as far as killing my neighbor's pain-in-the-ass dog goes as I've yelled at it too often and I know people have heard me. So I'm on the look out for a powerful sound-emitting device to do the neighbor's job for her. I don't care if it's humane or not as long as it works. If I find anything I'll give details here, and if anyone else knows of such a device, please do the same!
It's difficult to find such devices. Even that ad which claims their product was used by the military is misleading - basically it's another "Mummy's not very pleased with you, darling" product ! If we could modify the existing device to make it more powerful, then please let me know.

[start rant] I have claimed on here that dogs are stupid animals that can only eat, shit, attack children and bark. I retract that comment. Dogs are actually quite intelligent. For example, take the dog at the end of my street. It has a high pitched yap that drives me nuts and I have tried to poison that bastard several times. The dog still lives. In fairness, it hasn't been so bad in recent months, but in the last couple of weeks it has set its heart on annoying the hell out of me and anyone else within earshot.
It's got so bad that I've lobbed another load of beefburgers and French bread laced with antifreeze over the fence. I don't hold out much hope so decided on a new tactic, since I'm on an all-out mission to kill that dog. Tonight I went up to the neighbor's fence, armed with a knife. Usually the dog detects motion from a long way off and comes running to the fence, where it will leap up and yap. So I thought I'd make use of this and when the dog leaps up on the other side of the fence, I will stick the knife in its throat.
Risky maybe, but I've had enough. That dog has to die because it is spoiling my life. So did this work? Did it hell. The dog whimpered a few times but didn't come anywhere near me. It knew somehow that I was going to kill it and despite my provocations it stayed where it was.
So hell yeah, I take it back, what I said about dogs being stupid. They bark because they know it annoys people. They know how to behave in front of the right people so that they get away with it. Dogs take pleasure in being a nuisance. That is why it is a good thing to kill any nuisance dog without the slightest scruple. I'm going to keep at my nuisance dog and one day I'll succeed. To hell with the consequences, and in any case I can't see the other neighbors complaining as the mutt must bother them too. [end rant]
Bad luck man. I hope you have some success soon.
\Yes, because if someone wrongs you, YOU should be the one that has to pay out money to protect yourself.
FUCK YOU SWEET SWEET JANE, I hope a dog viciously attacks you, then YOU have to pay the medical bills and YOU have to build a fence, and YOU have to stay inside and YOU have to pay for all of it.
You're such a stupid fucking cunt.
