    I had similar problems in the past and eventually ended up feeling sorry for the dog.

    I feel very sorry for the dog, the dogs owner never walks him, never plays with him - his garden is an absolute mess - the dog is lonely and the minute he leaves the house the dogs barks non stop. I have spoken to the neighbour - he went and got ANOTHER dog (supposedly to be company for the barking dog) and nothing has changed - in fact it is worse. This has been carrying on for over a year - I am at wits end - so now I need to do something myself !

    Hi HR,

    What about using electronics to stop barking

    Hi HR,
    many years ago I saw an item, that emitted a high frequency sound when a dog barked. Maybe contact the local people to see if they have one.
    Here is one but it is in the USA

    Was at the Chinese Mall yesterday and saw a plastic contraption for about R80.00 that was supposed to stop dogs "maching" (sic) - which I gathered meant barking. It looked like a little torch (in fact could be used as a torch) and could supposedly be used to "train" dogs emitting a sound that was not harmful to humans. You point and press the button.

    Unfortunately it did not mention the distance over which it would work and looked like a really cheap plastic thing. I was tempted to buy it just to see how effective it was, but then thought better of it.
