How can I shut this dog up?

There's a very dumb Dalmation that lives next door to me, we're seperated by a chain link fence. This dog barks, non stop, and I mean all day if anyone is in sight. Sometimes he just barks for no apparent reason. It is extremely annoying. I tried to get him to like me by feeding him lunchmeat, it didn't help. Then I put human anti-depressants in the lunchmeat, nothing. Pretty much the only thing that kinda works is running at him menacingly to make him run away, but he still barks, just from the other side of his people's house. I love animals, but this one makes me want to beat him with a pole. Is there something I can do to him without physically hurting him?

Yes you can call animal control and make a complaint. The owners will get a warning to either get the dog a bark collar, debarked or kept in the house or it will be removed. Also, if you give him food when he is barking, you are incouraging him to bark more- thats a reward to him. Anti-depressents will kill a dog in a slow painful way, dont do that again.

actually feeding him was a bad idea dont do it again… you can also purchuse a dog whistle and everytime he barks blow it… might work.. might not… but the revenge will be sweet

Once upon a time, I bought one of those high pitched dog trainers that people can’t hear, but dogs can. My dogs didn’t respond to it at all, but I actually used it out the window when my neighbor’s dog barked and it effectively silenced the dog. My neighbor’s dog was a lot like your neighbors dog!
It’s a long shot, but it doesn’t hurt the dog, so it may be worth trying. It also sounds like you might also have a police complaint if the dog barks non stop.
And no more medicating the dog, please. That’s just not appropriate and could even be deadly.

You tried to DRUG the dog??? How could you know if the drugs would hurt him or not?? That wasn’t very smart.
There are laws about nuisance dogs. Try talking to the owners first. You can try to be ‘nice’ — tell them you are concerned about the dog or say that some of the other neighbors have complained… If they can’t or won’t fix the problem, call the police. Also, keep a written record of the times when the barking bothers you.
If you ask me, the owners should be locked up — or locked out of their house and left out in the yard. Leaving a dog alone, lonely and bored all day is CRUEL. Why even bother to HAVE a dog?
Please don’t blame the dog. I know it’s annoying (I have the same problem!) but it’s not the dog’s fault, it’s the STUPID owners.

Did you try talking to the owner of the dog? Maybe they could do something about it, if you asked nicely enough. =]
[[or complained alot]] =P

dont give him any more medication for starters, that’s really wrong. You could try talking to the owners, they might not realise what their pet gets up to while they are away. They can get a special collar that makes a high pitched noise when the dog barks, it doesnt hurt the dog, it just distracts him. He has to stop barking so he can listen to the noise. If the owners dont care that their dog is bothering you you can report it to the police or your local council and they can take it further.

First talk to the owner about his dog. If this does no good call the police who can set up a noise meter to test the level of noise. They will then tell the owner to keep his dog quiet. If the owner fails to do this, then the dog will be taken away from the owner.

Reading that makes ME furious. NO DalmatiAn is dumb! The OWNER is the dumb one. You NEED to call animal control, SPCA, Humane Society – WHOEVER! You need to get that poor dog out of their control. As the previous owner of a Dalmatian, I can tell you that this dog is barking non-stop because his owner is not providing him with any attention, exercise or socialization. You put human medication in a dogs food yet say you love animals? Shame on you. This dog doesn’t need damn ANTI-DEPRESSANTS – he needs to get out of his owners care (whatever care he is getting) and he needs to be re-homed with someone who will train him, exercise him and provide him with the attention he needs. Dalmatians are extremely active and energetic dogs and they will be very sad and annoying if they aren’t given enough mental stimulation or exercise.
Please get this dog away from his owner – and I don’t mean by just letting him loose in the neighborhood. He needs to find a new home. Please call animal control or the SPCA and ask if they can come and get this dog to find him a new home. Your neighbor should be charged with negligence and animal abuse! No dog, especially a high-energy breed should be refused the right to vent his energy in exercise.

You are obviously not much of an animal lover, are you. This would explain why the dog barks incessantly at you!! Dogs know when people don’t like them. To put human anti-depressants in the lunch meat is ignorant of you, and dangerous for the health of the dog!!! Why don’t you try talking to the dog’s owners? If that doesn’t work, then just stay away from the dog and go about your life, and leave it alone. He obviously does not like you for some reason, so leave him alone!!
