Re: My neighbor's dog

My downstairs neighbor has a large boxer that he often puts out on a very long leash when he's out in the backyard/parking lot of the apartment building, making it nearly impossible to get down the backstairs to my car without having to walk around or avoid it. It's launched itself(literally into the air) at me twice in the last month or so. If he does it again, I'm going to start b!tching at the guy.

That is hilarious. You should see if he will fall for it again.

Every time he has a party we try to get him to do it,he says no chance in HeII. I'm beginning to think he doesn't trust us.

I've tried it on myself through a t-shirt. At least on the lower settings, it's unpleasant, but doesn't really hurt. All the same, I don't really feel like trying the higher settings.

My brother tried walking through the invisible fence once with our dog's collar in his hand. There was much jumping around and arm shaking after the shock.

And it's really steady. About 1 second in between yips. For hours, and I'm not joking about that. Like a [expletive] metronome of crazy. The first time it happened a while ago it barked for so long that at some point I wasn't even pissed off anymore, just amused and curious just how long a dog could keep barking. Then towards the end of hour number two I got angry again and decided to leave.

Today it's mixing it up a little though actually. Three piercing yaps, then a few seconds until it does it again. It's still really keeping time well.

I've talked to my neighbor and from what I can gather this is what the dog does when she's gone all day because she had no idea. It doesn't happen that often, but if I happen to be here when it does it's the worst part of my week.

I don't think there's a real solution here that works for both parties. Unless she's OK with me killing her dog. I don't want to get hammered and listen to Jock Jams vol 1 at 3 am, but I feel like I'm going to have to every once in a while just to even the score.

It is probably a yorkie. they crave attention and when they are left alone alone they yelp continuosly. My mom has one and when she leaves that dog cries for hours.

I refuse to believe anyone could have a problem with Jock Jams played at any volume at any time of day.

You are probably right....my dog HATES Yorkies. He always fights with one in our neighborhood. I now hate this Yorkie as well (for reasons I won't go into)....so, I'll walk my dog by the house when the owners are at work, just to drive the little Yorkie bonkers. Apparently, he tears up their mini blinds when he goes bonkers. That's a shame. :wink:

If you're sleeping you could just buy some earplugs and that should solve the problem.
