I agree - it is awful to do something bad to a dog - just because it barks a lot.

However - I sure wish one could to something to the owners that allow it.

I can deal with a dog that barks for a minute or two and shuts up - yipping dogs that can go on for HOURS (no exaggeration) do get on my nerves - big time.

in the days before caller ID, you could make a tape recording of the dogs barking, then call the owners up at 3AM and just play the tape for them...

I hope that you NEVER, EVER sold any more hay to these people, even if you have to give a load to someone else who comes by at the same time!! And as for me, I'd pass the word around to other family and friends..someone who would do that have no concern for humans either.

A dog, especially a german shepherd (& other traditional guard dogs), is only doing its job. However, No dog should be left outside to fend for itself. Dogs are pack animals. They want to be with their people. But poisoning an animal because its owner doesn't understand this principle is diabolical. There are other courses to take. My GS is an inside boy. But if he were left out one day, having him poisoned would feel like murder to me. He is a beloved member of our family. No one has that right. And if the outside dog has hurt or even threatened someone, then call the police.

There is NO excuse for poisoning someones pet! If the dog barks turn the owners in. Where I came from if they came out 3 times and found the dog barking all three times they would take the dog away and issue a ticket. Yes this method does take time but it also allows the owner an opportunity to try to correct the situation.
Hopefully your dogs will be ok.

They don't just bark (as if saying hi) they bark and growl and carry on like they'd eat us alive. I HATE that.....and sometimes I've thought about poisoning them. Does no good to talk to the owners....the adults in the family will stand right there and let them. On the other hand, a neighbor has Hootch. Hootch should be named Mootch -- he goes around mootching food and yes, we all feed him. He only barks at the meter reader, because he knows the meter reader will give him a biscuit. If anything were to happen to him, I'd be so upset!

I agree on the bark collar would make for less tension in the neighborhood. Has your neighbor told the sheriff? I doubt they'll do anything, but it should be on record.

I do not know if the Sheriff's office knows. We have a Deputy Sheriff as a neighbor. Our nosey neighbor across the cul de sac may have told him.

We built a 6 foot fence down both sides and across the front of the yard. This drastically reduced the noise our dogs made. They are even housed in pens with 5 foot wire fences.

I feel your pain. It is ironic that I also had a German Shepherd who was poisoned by my neighbor in 2006. He was a barker. I tried several things to stop the barking. And poisoned my Lhaso Apso who survived the poisoning. Some people don't know the hurt they cause others.
