I love dogs. I HATE my neighbors dog. He is a dog in name only. More accurately, he is a grizzly bear/ draft horse hybrid. Huge, hairy, smelly, etc. All that is fine. He can't help it. My problem is that he is on a chain 24/7 and barks at everything that moves, including me in my own yard.
I bought my house because I have a nice river view, a lovely little bit of the country within walking distance from town. I love my spot. It's a half an acre of heaven. Or at least it used to be. Now, I cannot enjoy my yard because Cujo over there is trying to break his logging chain and attack.
Off of his chain, he is fine. On his chain, he is furious and loud, LOUD, LOUD.
I have spoken to his people, and they are awfully proud of their "watch dog" and tell me that he is just doing his job. Fine. He needs to do his job in his yard. I cannot put up with the constant barking at me in my yard. It's annoying to me and terrifying to my daughter (she is 3)
I am hesitant to call the police and thus start a feud with my neighbors, but I will if I cannot get some peace. Some friends of mine suggested a BB gun shot to the rump everytime he barks at me, but I cannot, will not do that. I have considered an air-horn in a can. Every time he barks, I will honk back at him. Maybe I will frighten him into silence, mabye I will annoy my neighbors into doing something about him.
Has anybody dealt with this?
