I am bidding on a alarm to see if that will stop the noise.the problem is, what will it do to the wildlife that i get in my garden,does anyone have one of these?
I have one hat goes in the ground and was bought to deter cats. It has a frequency range that you can set for different animals, maybe your one will too? I think it worked, hard to tell as I tried EVERYTHING to stop them using my pots with bulbs in as their toilet - holly, sharp stones, chicken wire over the top of the pot (which they lifted up, went about their business, and then replaced (no lie)), cocktail sticks, pepper dust, and finally ground coffee (which I think did the trick). When I chased a cat out of MY garden its owner (neighbour at the bottom of the garden) had the cheek to tell me it was her cat's garden before it was mine! Sorry, did your cat sell me the house? I think not!
Luckily for me I do not have any problems with barking dogs, and I am so sorry for all those that do. Cats is also my major problem, but there are plenty of threads about cat problems so I will not start.
However, I will add my humble opinion: Diddy, you must get this problem sorted out. Your neighbour is making your life a misery. By all means try the sonic thing but if that doesn't work, what will you do? You have to complain to the council and to the RSPCA if you are worried about the dogs' welfare. I seriously doubt you will end up being shot, but if you are worried about it, lock the doors for a few days and be ready to phone the police at the drop of a hat.
I know it's annoying when you have to sort out problems that you have not created and force others to take responsibility for their own actions, but if you don't this problem will just get worse. If you ever wanted to sell your house, you would have no chance if dogs are constantly barking.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I love dogs. I would love to have one, but my job means it would be alone for most of the time and I would not be able to walk it properly on work days. So I don't have one. I personally wouldn't allow most people to own dogs as they are not able to look after them properly, then we would solve the problem of most of the dog mess in public places, people being bitten by dogs that are not trained properly, and noisy dogs making neighbour's life a misery. When I retire I may get one, but not before.
the sonic sounder is ok.. i think it might deter foxes but it is designed for dog hearing.. and many show owners use them i believe to train their dogs.. but not sure only waht it said on the add.
We have a yappy westie next door to us and although the owners take it out regularly when they put it in the garden it barks constantly until they let it back in.
They let it out very early every morning and it's yaks & yaks & yaks all the time it is out. The promblem is amplified during the summer because obviously we have the windows open.
My OH is up at 5am every morning for work so at the weekend the last thing he wants is to be woken by the b****y dog. One sunday morning last year we were woken very early so OH shot out of bed and went round to ask them to bring the dog in or stop it from barking. The disgruntled neighbour said the dog only barks when there is someone out the back to which OH replied "yes us in our own garden".
In fairness they don't let the dog out so early now however it still barks all the time it is out. To make matters worse their son now plays the trumpet and is relegated to the conservatory to practice...and we thought we had problems with the dog barking!!!!!!!
Oh forgot to mention...we tried the hi pitched deterrant things to stop the cats coming into the garden. We're not sure they worked on the cats but they definately worked on our son and his friends Apparently the older you get the less able you are to hear hi pitched sounds so the younger visitors to our house could hear it. So if they went anywhere near it they said the noise was awful so we felt it only fair to dispose of it after that
Paddy and his missus were lying in bed one night when paddy turns to his wife and says,right that does it molly i'm going down i'm fed up with that bloody do barking all night long.Yap! Yap! Yap all bloody night.I,m going down to sort this out once and for all.5mins later paddy comes back upstairs and mollies cries,paddy what the hell have you done.Paddy replies,I've put it in our garden to see how they like it.

No idea of the effect on wildlife of these, but it was thinking of that that stopped me getting one of the sonic mouse scarers for my shed.
