Wear earplugs in your own house for many hours every day ?

Very unpleasant.

Sometimes I wear earplugs but find them very inconvenient after one hour.

 

Earplugs what a joke.

 

If the dogs being let out that's the key. Had the same thing happen with a dog that killed a couple of my kittens, sans the barking issue.

 

go after that sucker! I got so mad I went after it with a rock and chain. The dog never came back and ran every time if saw me in the soi.

 

your simply being to nice, that's it. Not sure how to solve the noise issue since the dog is confident on its territory where u can't go, but the aggression on your land is very solvable, it surely is.

 

whats weirder is ever since then dogs don't bother me anymore, even other dogs! They can sense it and will stay away when you learn to stand up for yourself.

Were your dogs out of your yard? How else did the pitbull attack them?

Yes they were - they are small dogs. Do you have a problem with that? Do you think they were asking to be killed, which they would have been if I hadn't whacked the mutt repeatedly with a metal gardening hoe?

 

Do you think Pitbulls should be allowed to run free?

 

Do you know what these dogs are bred for?

 

I think they should be slaughtered if they are.

No, I don't think they should have been killed, but if the pitbull runs free would have thought it made sense to keep your dogs in your yard. What would have happened if they'd been run over, it would be the drivers fault? Perhaps take some responsibility yourself.

You cant expect action from the authorities as they barely do work. I think you can forget that part.

 

The owners don't seem to care much as they got used to the noise.

 

If moving is not an option, and you cant talk sense into them, i would suggest buying the loudest car alarm you can find with remote. 

 

Every time the dog barks you hit the remote and hope it will annoy the neighbors enough to take action. But be careful they dont call the cops on you or you annoy the whole street.

 

(If the dog is scared of the noise it might even learn not to bark)

You make me laugh with your nonsense.

 

I have 2 little poodle sized dogs that have been running around our dead end soi for a 3 years. Some <deleted> comes and leaves a killer alone for 2 days at a time, then lets it out in a soi where there are other dogs and kids, and you say I'm being irresponsible. 

You need some lessons in rational thinking.

I assure you, if my kids were young, that dog would be dead already.

 

Ever taken two nearly dead dogs to the vet, with multiple holes in them?

[Odysseus123]

I would have liked to have shoved the stepson's two pit bulls right up where the sun don't shine.

 

However it was "up to heem" so I moved continents instead.

 

Cured "I am a total Thai moron" problem for ever.

Record the dog.

Play it back at night when neighbors are home.

[Dazinoz]

Wait till night and jump the fence and put the pitbull in your yard and the neighbours can put up with his barking.

A friend of mine in the UK had this problem, he cured it by giving the dog a daily piece of Exlax, after a week of cleaning up the mess , the neighbour gave the dog away.

[jacko45k]

Hard to complain when you have dogs of your own

I have 4 nuisance dogs next door to me, thankfully they sound like less of a problem than your adjacent house.

Any option to move house? Likely the only solution.

Not nonsense. I have a small dog myself and he's either in the house or the garden. I live in a gated village but there is no way I let him wander free. I'm responsible to pick his shit up for one thing, I'm also responsible for his well being, like making sure he doesn't get run over by a car. Not saying the pitbull owner isn't responsible, but so are you. It seems like you're happy to blame everyone but yourself for what happened.

By evolution thai people have special eardrums ,

instead of very thin ,they have concrete ones.Perfect solution to noisy dogs , ambulance sirenes , and .....

Also by evolution  their nose is reinforced with concrete props, again perfect solution to stinking dumps,fermented fish, smoke from burning rubbish and plastic next to your house ......

The eyes .....same thing,look at all those accidents .

So , now that you know this , dont try to explain your problems to them.........

the answer is " No pombem !"

And dont touch the dog ! It is not his fault that his boss is Thai.

[dotpoom]

I read on here recently that it was now against the law to have a dog that is left howling unattended, and indeed even if attended, and action can be taken against the owners which will result in them getting fined.

  I know you have already reported this to the police but on the basis of what I pointed out above I would certainly dig deeper into this new law.

[ubonjoe]

A inflammatory post has been removed.

[BEVUP]

I also wonder if the dog is carrying on due to the surrounding dogs 

[csabo]

What happened after you reported the attack on your dog's? Seems that would have been the best time to push the issue. Always remember "give an inch, take a mile". You didn't say if the owners were Thai but if they are that's especially true. Sounds like you are moving though.

That's probably no new law, and the law is not tied to dogs, Thailand simply has a law that forbids making too much noise, and the noise of a dog falls under this law as well... the problem is getting this law enforced

 

I had the same problem with the neighbour's dog, but the neighbour did understand my problem and now at least at night he puts a dog muzzle on which prevents the dog from barking.

OK, so much wrong with this story and the advise given.  

 

1.  OP do not let your dogs run about loose in the street every day.  That is asking for trouble.. like your poor dogs found themselves in.  (maybe even its your loose dogs making the neighbours dog bark / howl)!

 

2.  No action can be taken here sadly.  Yes, there is that new law about barking dogs.. but its not going to be enforced... forget that straight away.

 

3.  No use to complain to owners as they don't care.

 

4.  Do not poison the dog or drug it.  If OP takes this advise HE will be the one breaking the law and face the consequences from the owner and all the Thai people in the street will be against his actions... not just because he is a Farang, but also because they will just not understand why he did it.. as its not an issue for them.

 

REALISTIC ADVICE.

 

Move house ASAP.  In the meantime get earplugs when its bad.. and keep your own dogs under control..

Keep your dogs fenced in your property.  You could throw over a large bone for the dog to chew on and keep it occupied.

 

I hope you are only renting.  Also hope that work you are doing is not illegal.. ie, you have a work permit.  Think if it was back in your own country and some immigrant next door, working illegally,  poisoned your dog, allowed his dogs to roam the streets, and upset the neighbours? How much sympathy would you give him?

did some westeners here get as dumb as the locals ?

move ? earplugs ? mai pen rai ?

 

hey, I got some advise :  try to find a dog fighting killer with thai friend and you buy the biggest most nasty killer you can, you buy it, you let it lose in your soi and hope it kills this <deleted> dog, great advise, right ?

 

[thurien]

ask a Cambodian to "help" you with this issue...

[ThaiFelix]

You may laugh at this but try to befriend the dog........from a distance of course.  I had the same problem with a neighbour's dog, especially when the owners were out.  Dogs will howl when they are lonely or bark when they are protecting a property.   It would howl its box off because it was lonely or bark when it saw me moving about on my property or someone else walking past.

 

My solution was to talk to it.  When it howled I tried to console it and when it barked I would tell it everything was ok etc.  Try to find out its name and use it.  You have dogs so talk to it the same.  Its not so much what you say, it is the tone.  Dont get angry or yell because you are then a threat and you will make the situation worse.  But you need to have patience, it wont happen overnight.

 

Now this dog is as quiet as a mouse.  Instead of barking it now wags its tail at me.  Even when people pass it rarely barks because it knows it is not alone guarding the place.....it has a friend nearby.  It has actually worked to my advantage because he is now also a guard dog for my property by barking at strangers very late at night when people are not normally moving around or if someone comes too close to my place.  Give it a go, however it wont do any good in protecting your dogs if they are all out together....that's a territory thing.  Good luck.

I don't envy your plight Johnnie

But dogs are only what we make them..... maybe use your suggestion for the owner not the dog

Because the next house he moves to will have the average Thai moron in it-complete with pit bulls?

[Neeranam]

Pit bulls are evil. Some say move house. I wouldn't. I'd buy some antifreeze and stick it in a sausage, and slip it to the owner.555

This. Seen it happen before. As a farang you cannot ever win this. 

[Rimkok]

Moving house is not the answer. The same thing could happen in your next house.

 

Dog noise is a part of life here. 

 

Thinking outside the box I always wondered if there was a device that was silent to humans and audible to Dogs and actually made the Dogs bark.

 

You could turn it on when ever you leave the house, day and night. Discreetly pointing it at the offending house. When you get home the Dog might of "barked itself out".

 

Maybe this would drive the owners that mad that they would actually get rid of the dog for you.

 

We live in hope!!
