Thread: How to deal with barking dogs ?

Came back from Bangkok to be greeted by 2 more soi dogs hanging around here, there's 5 out there as it is, 7 now.

Found out from the neighbour that someone has moved in down the road and brought them with him, but they don't keep them contained and let them run with the other dogs around here.

The other 5 mutts are ok and only bark if someone comes down the road. These 2 friggin new dogs are continually yapping away through the night.

How do I shut them up, without taking a pitching wedge to the things ?

Ear plugs?

^ That's an idea. I'm in the end house and need to encourage them to go down the road really though. I'm gonna stop buying food for them too.
I think I heard somewhere the smell of Lions piss will keep them away

Just need to get the British & Irish Rugby team to call in on their way to Hong Kong.

Had a perpetually barking dog outside my gaff a few years back. I pinged a brick at its head and it worked absolute wonders.

You bark - you get the brick.

Mobs had a thread on this a couple of years ago. He bought an electronic sonic gun or something. Can't remember if it worked or not.

^ Pretty sure he said it worked a treat.

Bricks are cheaper though...

The 2 new mutts are bitches and I just noticed the one barking at the alpha male outside.

I had a look at this just


But on reading some of the reviews on Amazon looks a crock of shit

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Dog Silencer Pro Complete Pack

Maybe a taser would do the job

The dog in that video looks the double of them too

Just holding two bricks scares them even more

haha not a good sign. The alpha male is a pussy. Makes for yappin bitches all day and night.

Give Socal a ring, he's got a friend who loves to fu*k dogs.

The missus uses large(ish) stones for the dog opposite, she's not a good aim and sooner or later she's gonna take out one of their windows, and the gloves will be off...

Catapult and some glass marbles.

I keep one of those big fuck off water pistols loaded. The soi dogs round here don't seem to like getting wet, and now all I have to do is open a window and they bugger off to annoy someone without a water pistol to hand.

Maybe more to the point is where the fuck are all you blokes shacked up? With ravenous sois dogs peskering your front door and windows?

I have noticed that. i have an outdoor tap and hose they don't like when they try and follow me through my front gate.

I take it they eat them or transit to Vietnam where you are

^ Hahaha yes hopefully!

Lots of good ideas here but another is kinda the Thai way which is based on the idea that everything can be accepted, that a lot of the sense of annoyance is based on outrage, dislike of life circumstances ( groht in Thai), etc. In fact it is true that repetitive noises tend to fade from notice after a while; i grew up next to steam railroad tracks and visitors asked how we could stand it. We never noticed!

Hopefully they will settle down soon, it's all new here for them I guess

2 is far more likely.

If the yapping continues your soi's pack lacks leadership, and an alpha male needs to be brought in to sort shit out or a human can play the role. Dogs are generally much better at it though. So go get a tough street dog and feed him, let him take charge of the pack and the yapping little fuckas will shut up.

Oh FFS you've been watching "The Dog Whisperer" haven't you?
