Bloody Yapper dogs!

i am having a running battle with three little yappy dogs next door,it has been going on for years:mad::mad:

They start yapping at absolutely nothing as soon as the owners drive out of their driveway.:mad:

The council has been round,bla,bla,and it is still going on.

I started hosing the one that yaps the most.It did quieten down for a while,but has started again and seems to like being hosed.The two that hate being hosed don't bark as much.

Still looking for a solution,that is not cruel.

Hose the owner down, not the dogs... :D

I got next doors to finally shut up after my neighbour asked me why there were stones all over his back verandah.

I said 'that's what I throw at your dog every time it barks for no reason'
he keeps it inside when they go out now. It still barks, but I can hardly hear it.

Exactly

I often give it a good hose late in the day,when i get home from work.

I often wonder what the owners think,when they get home to find one dog soaked.:confused:

I used to throw things at it,but have run out of things to throw.

One of my brothers has a low powered air rifle,i am tempted...;)

Now if i could load the air rifle with those,that would be great.:D

Should be difficult. Mythbusters had a good go at the ultimate sniper bullet. Ice. No evidence. Could not get it to work, always melted in the barrel.

Goodness me, all you people hosing dogs & throwing stones, how many have knocked on the door of your neighbour, and discussed the problem with them. I'm, glad I live where I live. Bob

Spoke to them numerous times,they had no interest in the issue.

Now we don't speak to them at all:)

We had a neighbour like that a while back. Little yappy mongrel dog that barked all day & all night, and loud music until into the early hours of the morning to top it off.

Spoke to him politely a number of times with no effect.

Then I stopped being polite. :twisted:

He doesn't live there any more, and the new neighbours also have a small dog, but we rarely hear this one at all. Didn't even know it was there for a while. :D
