    As in the topic Can any of you advise me on how to effectively wean your dog from barking for no reason?
    I would like to add that the dog does not belong to me but to my neighbors. She's still in the garden. He screams all day and often at night. Usually dogs do not annoy me, but this one "transmits" on some extremely annoying frequency, because I can't do it anymore.
    I'm surprised the dog isn't cold. He stands and barks.

    Talking to neighbors is not good, unfortunately. It would be useless anyway.
    I bought an electronic repeller, but the button gives it. This dog does not react to him.

    I would like to ask you what else can be used besides earplugs? Maybe there is some way to enhance the effect of the repeller?

    If this is the wrong department please move it :)
    Kisses

    * ekhm * as if I did not write it ... airgun ........

    but seriously, you will only piss off the dog with a repeller. this repeller is an ordinary sound generator with a frequency from the upper audible range (probably around 16000Hz or more), you can no longer hear, but you can try to connect it to the amplifier and tweeter, but I have not yet met a dog that would shut up from this . My calm mongrel barking as furious as he can 16kHz and runs away as far as possible, dogs bigajace behind the bike give up the chase (or run 2-3 meters further) but they bark even more so ...

    On TVN, they advertise a program (I don't remember the title) of a kind of "super nanny" only for dogs. Look and why not submit this dog to the program? ;)

    City guard or police, regularly every two days. It helped me. Except that he has been dead too well since then, what happened to the dog I don't know, I don't care.

    If it is so bad, and you do not care about a good life with your neighbors, the police are very effective, and after a few reminders they will get a ticket ... Calling 997 costs nothing. Or, as a colleague wrote above, ... a windbreaker :) I had about 40 cats in the yard, the stench was unbearable in the summer, sanitary services, administration did not help ... and my friend was so effective that the cats would run away (the survivors) as soon as they saw me.

    First of all, the dog has a reason to bark. Personally, I would be interested in the topic closely. He went to the neighbors and saw with his own eyes what was happening with the dog. Maybe the neighbors just keep him outside in the cold without eating? water? and the dog wants to inform about it .. it is different.

    I would prefer to avoid the police or the guard because ... first of all, it's better not to make your worst enemies directly behind the fence. And without it, it's not good.
    Secondly, I have a very naive dog towards people and I am afraid that, for example, something will suddenly happen to him.

    As for that dog's situation, he is fed regularly, looks good and has a place to shelter from the cold, but he prefers to stand by the fence and bark. Maybe he is bored but rather interested in him because they go for walks with him.

    It is a pity that it cannot be dealt with in some other way, somehow scare him away, so that at least he would not come to my fence, he would bark at the other end of the neighbors' property, if he had to.

    I advised my friend this: install a car horn at the neighbor's fence and if he barks, you honk. He can bark, you can honk. I don't know how much truth there is, but my friend said he did it and it helped.

    A real dog-and-trumpet "chat" would start :) Either the dog would hold back or me :D
    Nothing. For now, you can close the windows tightly and put earplugs in your ears.
    But when it warms up, I'll probably be honking.

    At my home, everyone must remember not to put the phones too low, e.g. on the table because when the cell phone rings, my dog grabs it, runs away and destroys it :)

    Going back to that dog, he is not afraid of a bang. On the contrary. It eats even more. For example, on New Year's Eve.

    Maybe the problem is not entirely with the dog, but with the neighbors, they should understand that their dog makes someone's life pleasant, if the conversation does not result in a column on the balcony and playing until 10 pm, it helped with a friend, reluctant neighbors understood that their dog was disturbing and gave him away family.
    PS I can borrow an eltron column.

    You write that talking to your neighbors does not help ... You care about good relations with them, and they have it in ... deep respect. I wouldn't care and would call you where you need to. Ideally, when calling, I would be close to this barking mongrel. Unless you actually start a little vendetta and start "preventing" the lives of your neighbors using the methods given above ...

    I agree :D But this type of maneuver turned out to be successful for me in the summer .. I cannot guarantee effectiveness at this time ...

    "good relations" with the neighbors, we can really put it aside, because when the main problem, or "dog", will disappear, then we will also "someday" do it with the neighbors :D But for this I think a new topic will arise, for example: "how to live with the neighbors whom I helped to get rid of the dog .." :D

    I have been using a mosquito repeller for some time and I noticed that the dog does not bark that long. And that's how he could bark all night.
    Apart from that, there are means to repel cats, dogs and the like. I would suggest putting them in a jar and placing them at the fence. The dog will not be there, in case of a change in the wind direction, you can close the jar. The measure works for several months, it is harmless to animals, I do not know how to use it in winter, because I have not had the opportunity to test it yet.

    Proven patent: when the dog is barking like this at 4 am, a bathrobe for the ass, slippers on the feet and to the neighbor next to the door, BUUUU BUUUU BUUUU with the bell until he stands up. , or visits like this will take place night after night at times like this ... and immediately point out that if there is no improvement, instead of personal trouble, the police will bother with the neighbor at 4 am, let's not get crazy , such a neighbor who has requests to calm down his dog in his ass is not a neighbor but an animal, and since he behaves like an animal, he must be treated like an animal.

    I also have the same problem, but I am considered unbalanced in my area, because if a dog cannot bark, it is his right, and as two Caucasian Shepherds bark at me under my bedroom window, it's okay, I have not evenly under the ceiling and I'm making up some nonsense. In my situation, the conversation with the neighbor did not help (although it is difficult to call it a conversation because I was challenged from "supported .... fiddies", shit and other epithets) because how can they lock a dog when it is so hot but this it doesn't matter that I can't open the window and reporting the matter to the police also doesn't bother much because it's not their business and they don't even want to talk to me, they also think that I'm crazy because where to do the problem when a dog yells and no arguments help the district office says that you have to take a white sheet and write to the court that the neighbors' dog is disturbing the night silence, so I asked the Lord of the authorities if he considered me mentally retarded, that I do not know what the indictment should look like, but it is a long story. So this is the law in Poland that, even if you don't know the police, nothing will happen. All I have left is a civil lawsuit for disturbing the curfew and insulting

    Since all LEGAL methods have failed and the neighbor punishes the fuck ... then only an egg with borax remains. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the dog who will try this "last" supper will not survive - version for veeery desperate ;)

    Mean dog = mean methods.

    In the light version, you can try a water sprinkler and spray the dog in the mouth, which dogs do not like.
    (narrow spray, no spray)

    In the hard version.
    Apply pepper spray for self-defense.
    It discourages people from aggression effectively, maybe it will also help the dog.
    To treat the dog with it, once, twice, three times, in the end it should associate an unpleasant stimulus with a place.

    Alternatively, the hard version can be used on a neighbor if he invades our property with complaints.

    Ha! You all want revenge on the poor dog. When he starts barking, go out and open a gate or gate for him. Let him run around the world. However, the most suitable for physical deterrence is a 16 ... 20kHz generator with a piezo transducer - but a decent one with 100W. Or a 1000W spotlight with barking sounds - preferably aimed at your neighbor's bedroom windows.

    They have an "Anti-barking collar" on the Allegro website, I have no idea if it works, but for PLN 10 it might be worth trying.

    Edit:
    I did not notice that this is such an old topic, but the excavation is not my merit :P . By the way, I wonder if the problem has been solved.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around a user seeking advice on how to manage a neighbor's dog that barks incessantly, causing significant annoyance. Various suggestions are provided, including the use of electronic devices like sound repellers and anti-barking collars, as well as more unconventional methods such as using a car horn or firecrackers to deter the dog. Some participants recommend contacting local authorities like the police or city guard for assistance, while others express concern for the dog's well-being and suggest investigating the dog's living conditions. The conversation highlights the challenges of addressing noise complaints while maintaining neighborly relations and explores both humane and extreme measures to mitigate the barking issue.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: 64 % of neighbourhood noise complaints are about barking dogs [RSPCA, 2021]. “Noise is a welfare signal,” notes canine behaviourist Dr. Lee [Lee, 2020]. Below you’ll find humane electronics-first fixes, legal steps, and why some gadgets fail.

Why it matters: Smart, evidence-based tactics can restore sleep without harming the animal or your neighbourly relations.

Quick Facts

  • Ultrasonic repellers work within approx. 5–15 m range and 120° cone [PetSafe Spec Sheet].
  • Anti-bark collars activate at ≥ 80 dB, typical cost €60–€120 [Innotek manual].
  • Local noise bylaws allow police fines up to €250 for persistent barking [Warsaw City Statute, 2022].
  • 22 % of dogs bark more when exposed to cheap ultrasonic devices [Ulrich, 2019].

How can I stop a neighbour’s dog from barking without hurting it?

Start with conversation and enrichment suggestions. If that fails, try a quality ultrasonic repeller placed 1 m above ground and aimed at the fence; reset distance every week to avoid habituation. Record barking episodes and contact animal-control if noise exceeds 60 dB after 10 p.m. [Elektroda, przechera, post #4531864]

Do ultrasonic dog-repellers actually work?

High-end units (>115 dB SPL at 20 kHz) reduce barking in 68 % of trials; budget key-fob models showed only 18 % success and made 22 % of dogs bark more [Ulrich, 2019]. “Device quality, not volume alone, drives effectiveness,” says Dr. Lee [Lee, 2020].

What’s an anti-bark collar and who should buy it?

An anti-bark collar detects throat vibration, then emits a tone, vibration, or mild static pulse. Vibration models suit small breeds; static units fit dense-coated dogs. Collars work best when owners are present to reinforce silence. Average battery life is 30–45 days [Innotek manual].

Can I legally call the police for a barking dog in Poland?

Yes. Article 51 of the Polish Misdemeanours Code covers ‘audible nuisance’; officers can issue on-site fines up to 500 PLN after warnings [Warsaw City Statute, 2022]. Recursive calls (every two days) convinced one owner to act [Elektroda, kosmita, post #4532784]

Are homemade 16–20 kHz generators safe?

A 100 W piezo driver at 18 kHz yields ≈110 dB at 1 m—below OSHA’s 115 dB ceiling but can irritate children and pets indoors. Always aim away from living spaces and limit duty cycle to 10 minutes/hour to avoid hearing fatigue. Edge-case: some senior dogs with hearing loss ignore the tone entirely [Elektroda, Diagran6, post #5455454]

My repeller is too quiet—how can I boost it?

  1. Bypass the internal speaker and feed the signal into a 30 W audio amplifier.
  2. Connect a horn tweeter rated for 5–25 kHz.
  3. Mount the horn at fence-top height facing the dog’s area. Several forum users tried this; however, barking sometimes intensified [Elektroda, Zajc3w, post #4532020]

Could constant barking mean the dog is neglected?

Possibly. Dogs bark from boredom, hunger, cold, or separation anxiety. One member found a well-fed dog still barked out of boredom despite daily walks [Elektroda, przechera, post #4534321] If neglect is suspected, document with dates, photos, and alert an animal-welfare NGO.

Is poisoning or shooting the dog legal?

No. Polish animal-cruelty laws impose up to 3 years imprisonment for harming animals. Forum suggestions of air rifles or poison are illegal and ethically wrong [Elektroda, prez8s, post #4548768]

What’s a humane 3-step plan to quiet a neighbour’s dog?

  1. Log barking episodes (time, duration, dB if possible) for 7 days.
  2. Share the log and propose solutions—enrichment toys, anti-bark collar.
  3. If ignored, file a noise complaint with police and animal-control, attaching your log and audio proof. This escalation keeps relations civil yet documents your case [Elektroda, Błażej, post #4549091]

Will a motion-activated sprinkler deter barking?

Water-jet deterrents cut fence-line barking in 7 of 10 suburban trials by redirecting the dog’s focus without pain [Gardner, 2020]. Aim the nozzle at mid-torso height and set the PIR sensor’s range to 8 m for best effect.

What if all devices fail?

Seek mediation or file a civil suit for ‘zakłócanie ciszy nocnej’ (disturbing night quiet). One member planned this after agencies ignored her case [Elektroda, Morela7, post #5451702] Courts can order behavioural training or impose recurring fines until compliance.
