I have a neighbor who has three hounds and I have gotten along with him fine. One has a collar for an electric fence and is no problem. He yard is probably an acre and he has the other two hounds 10 feet from the property line in a chain link pen. The second my back door opens, it is nonstop barking like they had a bear up a tree. I was working in the backyard 2 hours last week and they never stopped to take a breath. We have to sleep with fans running because you never know when they are going to start in the night. I bought one of those so called dog silencers and set it up on my property 10 feet from the pen but it has not helped yet........ Would you say something or put up with it??

Maybe a fence they can't see through on your side of the line or ask him if he'd move they to the other side of his property? Barking is what hounds do. I'd try a gentle approach to him, heck tell him your wife sent you. lol

Unacceptable. When I had hounds if they opened in the pen there had better be a coon making off with something or a stranger in the yard. No, excuses.
I had one that could be heard a mile deep on tree and I got rid of because the dummy couldn't shut up in the box. He was better in the pen but I want mine better seen than heard if they are not actively hunting.

Why have you not said anything yet? There is no reason to go on like that, I couldnt. I'm sure if he is a good guy, he will handle the problem, If not, use all revenues at hand, ordinance and such.

He most likely isn't aware of the problem, and won't be unless you bring it up. I'm betting he'll do something to remedy the situatiuon.

Hard to believe the owner can't hear nonstop barking.

Your approach to him will most likely decide how he responds. Maybe invite him over to your back yard for a couple beers. wink

Dealing with something similar for the past 3 years. Tried talking to them but that's been a dead end. Talked to the township and they agreed it's a problem. They had a deputy stop by and have a talk with them but that was only good for about two weeks. Now anytime their dogs bark for more than 20 minutes straight they get another visit by law enforcement. Unfortunately the last deputy is clueless and probably did more harm than good.

Give them something to eat.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Did you move in next to him or did he move next to you? He is a lot more likely to be accommodating if he wasn't there first. That being said, I have a whole pack of hounds, I don't like to listen to them bark at the house for no reason. They bark when I feed them and when somebody pulls in the yard. Once that somebody stops and shuts their rig off they shut up. I do have one that wears a bark collar when I take others hunting and leave her home. She will wait until I am gone and then start barking because she was left behind. She knows she would get in trouble if I was there. Put a bark collar on her and she knows what it is and never makes a sound. But if I forget to put one on her I hear about it from the wife when I get home.

I have been told there is no such thing as a bad dog. But bad owners are quite common .

Sounds like you live in town so I would think there is some kind of ordinance.

Maybe call the code enforcement and see what options you have.

If they seem like decent people I would talk to them first before getting law involved (filing a complaint), if they are known to be difficult let the law handle it

You could always fight fire with fire if you want. Dogs hurt your ears, get one of those whistles that people can't hear and blow it all the time when you are outside. Supposed to hurt their ears laugh

The fact that he put them next to your property line and not his house says it all.

X 2 !!!

If the neighbor won't address the issue,
then it's time for a stealth - operation.
