I can't stand my neighbor's dog.  I think I'll have to find a way to shut him up.

Noisy Dog Solution: If your neighbor's dog is barking excessively, here are some ideas for handling the problem:
1. Ask your neighbor to take corrective measures such as putting a muzzle on the dog, making sure it can’t get out, and limiting the amount of time it spends outside.
2. Contact your local animal-control officer to report excessive barking.  If a violation is noted, the officer may be able to offer tips on correcting the situation.
3. If contacting your neighbor or the animal-control officer does not work, you may purchase noise-reduction devices which can help minimize the barking and reduce sound pollution.
4. Finally, if nothing else works, you may have to invest in a noisy, inconvenient dog deterrent, such as a motion-activated sprinkler or an ultrasonic noise machine.
