That is why I pressed the question to the OP - I figured his neighbor probably had a legit reason to not be happy - I sure wouldn't be

You can take the boy out of the city, but you can't take the city of of the boy.
He's probably coming from a HOA.

Had a barking dog next to us in town one time and I fixed it. Kept a log of when, what time and for how long it barked. It was the last thing i heard befor i went to sleep and the first thing I heard when i woke up. When I had about 4 pages of a legal pad full, 6 police responses to my place for a barking dog and the barking dog city ordinance in hand I went and saw the city attorney who ruled in my favor and the city wrote my neighbor a $300.00 ticket. Before all of this one early Sunday morning I was up because of the dog and saw Mr. & Mrs. Neighbor leaving and asked him again if he could do something about his dog. His response was "Hey man you need to call the police". At this point for me was Game on!
Oh it gets better, after the $300.00 ticket it was fine for awhile then one night Mr. & Mrs. Neighbor were gone and the dog barked for 3+ hours. I called the local PD and they responded after checking out their property and seeing no one was home they stopped by to let me know they were writing them another $300.00 ticket. Not long after that they moved to Phoenix and by chance I ran into them returning to Dallas when my flight stopped in Phoenix. I was all smiles and asked them how they were doing and I could see Mr. Neighbor blood was boiling just looking at me.

This was in Frisco, TX.

That’s textbook on handling it in the burbs. I had a back neighbor many years ago that I called the city on and they advised the log keeping. I went one step further by placing a note on his front door outlining my intentions. I also was given an anti-bark untrasonic Egg from my daughter. Never heard another peep from said dog.

I’m highly disappointed in how this turned out. I’ve always thought highly of deerfeeder, and I’m not saying that I don’t still, but it just goes to show that you can’t trust anyone. I assumed that he had a bad neighbor based upon how much I respected him. Turns out he is the bad neighbor. He is the one disturbing the peace and blaming it on his neighbors for being close to their property lines. It’s THEIR fault for being near the fence line. How F’ed up is that?! And why does he have this mentality? It’s his profession. I’m convinced of that. They just can’t help themselves.

Yes sir, you were on the right track, for sure. This is something that should always be asked, but some of us didn’t because we trusted the whole serve and protect nonsense.

I was disappointed but not surprised by a thread about how to seek revenge against a neighbor from someone who posts a daily praise thread almost every day. I’m not much of a thumper but I’m pretty sure the handbook has several sections about not behaving in such a way.

Then he should start knocking on his door with the good book in his hand that will surlily run him off

OK, I'm dealing with this right now. And I'm also the guy with the dogs who has a new neighbor. My new neighbor is from a little farther south than yours. We live semi-rural, on 200'x495' deep lots, on two different parallel roads, He's right behind me.Sounds like we're in a similar situation. Dogs aren't used to activity on the adjacent property and raising hell. Even my dogs fighting with his thru the fence occasionally. Blood has been drawn on both sides.

My thinking is, while my situation could get worse for reasons not pertinent to this thread topic, My dogs are causing more of the ruckus than his, and he should be able to move about his property without constant harassment the same way I should be able to move about mine. I get on to my dogs for it because it bothers me when they are constantly raising hell. I'm making progress with them, now it's more reactionary until the wife or I get involved and they remember he's not the devil. He notices our effort and waves at us.

And believe me, there's several other instances where he truly has been the bad neighbor, "most" of which we've found common ground on but i can't just blow it off and let him deal with it either way. It's just not right. He bought his property like I bought mine. I don't want to be bothered on mine any more than he does on his. I don't want a neighbor with whom I'm constantly at odds either. I also don't need him to be my best friend. We'll find our balance eventually.

Yeah, I don't really think you have a bad neighbor

I could show you some real retard neighbors of mine on our place in Oklahoma that'd blow this guy out of the water...

I’m not taking sides here, but if any of you have never contemplated revenge on a neighbor, you haven’t had a real bad neighbor. I sure have.

In thinking about a couple of bad neighbors from the past, I just realized that almost every problem was noise related - dogs, roosters, loud teenagers.

I have dogs next door that bark all the time and bite at the fence when I'm outside...I ignore them...

I feel for you, a relative of mine has a new neighbor who has called animal control, the ordinance officer, the police and the City Manager to complain on her dogs saying they bark contently, which is Not true...we set up cameras and the dogs come out once or twice a day (they can access the house and backyard). The cameras also caught the neighbor on her property without permission after he was given notice by police to stay off...The fact is some people just can't mind their own business and get their entertainment my complaining and causing problems. I have dogs on both sides of me who bark all the time, I ignore them, even one who runs and bites at the fence when I walk by the fence, I value being a good neighbor more than I desire to complain.

I just don’t understand why anybody would move away from the city, and then try to involve themselves in their neighbors business. Half the reason I didn’t buy a cheaper home in a subdivision is to get away from prying eyes and city officials. Maybe ya’ll could discuss that over a couple of beers. Does he really want to play HOA out there? Maybe he should have bought a home in one.

Personally, if I can’t piss off the porch while I am waiting for my dog to do his business, I will never be happy. I like to shoot, I like tannerite, etc. That is the kind of seclusion I require. I trust city officials and city cops even less than I trust the feds. And the sounds of farm animals and scent of manure- as long as it’s not overpowering, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Neighbor should have bought a bigger and more remote place, or moved into an HOA.

Sounds like a good way to get shot.

"And the sounds of farm animals and scent of manure- as long as it’s not overpowering, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside." My wife has a friend whose father owned a cattle feedlot, he always said "Smells like money to me."

So it’s the neighbors fault he doesn’t like Deerfeeders dogs barking at him while he’s on his own property and he should just deal with it?

Personally if I’m on my own land and I have a neighbor whose dogs come up to the fence and bark at me I would get aggravated at well. This sounds like Deerfeeder is more the issue here and wanting to be an even bigger PITA by having revenge on someone. I’d hate to be his neighbor

There needs to be some common ground. Maybe the neighbor moved out for a little more peace and quiet. Who don’t want peace and quiet?

Someone mentioned an anti bark device. May be worth investment in one, for the neighbor who gets barked at.

“Messing with him” until he thinks about moving may not be the best solution, especially if some of the neighbor issues have validity.

None of them bark just to hear themselves. If they are barking something is out there that stirred them up.

Like the moon?

Harriet was next door, one of 3 Boxer/Rottweiler mix. She'd stand in the middle of the yard and just bark night after night after night, to 11pm or sometimes later. There was nothing. They were the neighbors' grown son's dogs. He thought they made him a badazz.

So the neighbors shouldn’t be outside on their own land?

If he keeps his dogs on hid own place, what is the harm?

My experience is that dogs that incessantly bark typically bark at anything. Rain, bugs, being lonely, pretty much anything. It’s not the dog’s fault though, it’s the owners who won’t put any effort into correcting their behavior.

When they constantly bark at neighbors who are doing their own thing on their own land, that’s super annoying. If they are barking at neighbors across the property line in guard mode like they are fed to do as deerfeeder said, then that’s a sign of a dog that could potentially be aggressive to people it shouldn’t be.

Maybe the neighbor should befriend the dogs. Feed them and pet them.
