I'll solve your problem. 65000 Baht in advance, 35000 baht when job is done. Provide phone number. I'll call you ;-)

We have been in our house in Sansai, Chiang Mai for seven years. The next door neighbor, a nice guy, has always had four or five dogs. Within a month after we moved in, I noticed a pattern. The dogs were barking every night between 2 and 3am. One morning, I went over to the neighbor, friendly as I could be and expressed my concern for the incident the night before. He, of course, didn't know what I was talking about. I said, well, I figured you must have had a gang of criminals breaking in, because the dogs were making so much racket. He got the hint, all smiles, and has been much better since. We're still quite cordial. The dogs will occasionally wake me, but the next thing I hear is the neighbor yelling at them to shut the hell up. Sometimes I hear him go outdoors and put the dogs in their pen, with a scolding. Don't know if that will work for you.

Poisson? You mean feed him a French fish?

Don't mess around. Lay in wait and when the dog barks give it a good tasering. After that it will think twice before it barks again. 

[DJ54]

Maybe have Thai person friend go talk to them maybe the neighbor will less intimidated. Just explain work etc and try to find a solution

Give your landlord 30 days notice of your intention to move.   Then move. 

 

Things are so much better when you rent,  innit

My other neighbor does that too. Now I listen to him yelling shut up half the time and dogs barking the other half...

Depending on where the OP is, the local Department of Public Health may be of assistance. Noise and dangerous dogs both come under their remit.

I can second this, a few years ago I had a issue with a yappy dog on the soi

 

A very long story short after I visited my local Tessaban (Hua Hin) officers went round the next day and spoke to the owner, the officers didn't ask me for any  money 

 

However if your office does do anything will depend on if they can be bothered and maybe if you are going to offer them any money

 

However as stated by the poster I have quoted the Tessaban is the place to visit if you want to try and do something

 

Good luck and post how you get on

You both suggest this but I very much doubt you would do it yourself, suggesting it on a forum is easy, do you have the balls to do it? I doubt it

 

You both should look up Thailand's animal cruelty laws, you could find yourself in serious trouble if you attempted what you have suggested

 

As the OP has already spoken to the dogs owner about this issue it would be pretty obvious who the police would question first

[nanglong218]

We were cursed in our Melbourne suburb by neighbouring dogs which were neglected during the day, left out in the yard, bored and lonely.  A dog is a pack animal, social, you the owner are the alpha male.  Some of these dogs were very expensive pedigree animals. They bark because they are bored.   

I live in a village where the dogs own the streets after dark, they don't bite, just bark a warning.

My wife and I moved back to her village 15 months ago, we were gifted a dog. Tom, gold coloured soi dog.  Other family members' mutts joined in, received  strokes and affection and wouldn't go home. We now have five and three wannabes.  They bark at strangers but sleep quietly in the night in the yard because they are happy.

I said Do Not feed it with....Do not  repeat do no. Let the situation calm down until many other neighbours have  complained then do not  do not throw poisoning snakes over the fence Do Not do this. Let other neighbours complain. BTW if you are concerned about animal cruelty then report the owners..a a dog does not howl all night and day unless it is being cruelly treated. 

[ajnamoon]

you   could try the Anti Bark   app  Google Play   or dog  whistle   every time it howls or barks    can get at Lazada

 or  other ultrasonic devices over  40khz    good luck

If it is indeed a Pit, here will be plenty of muscle to chew on......they are great for Khmer Weddings..........yummy.

I am sure that recently, it was either discussed, and a law was passed that police were to handle the barking dog problem.  There was a fine that could be put against the dog owners if there was a barking problem.  When I am in Thailand, I have the same problem and was glad to see that action was taken on this.  I left on March 22nd.  I don't know where or how to check but I would try to find out about it at push it.  If you find something, let me know because I will be back in a couple months.  Hope others have heard of this.  Problem is getting the police to help you.

I bought one of those devices fifteen years ago due to the same problem. Had to get a friend bring it over from the UK for me.

The one I had was no use at all, positioned it within five metres of the dog. It didn't affect the dog or make it quiet.

Perhaps it was deaf.

I have 2 little poodle sized dogs that have been running around our dead end soi for a 3 years.

 

I have a Bangkeaw.. When we lived in a gated community, I would take him for walks on a leash, with a stick to keep other dogs away..

One day a little poodle snuck up on us from behind, to say hello !! My dog nearly ripped half its neck off.. 

Who was the irresponsible owner ??

I certainly wouldn't have been offering to pay any vet bills...

Probably working on the idea of the fish bones getting stuck in the dog's throat.

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

That's cruel, as then the dog would starve to death (well, once it have devoured the owner).

When its quiet give him some food

That's great but the posters neighbors dog does not act this way and the neighbor does not seem open to parenting lessons...

Have not read all the posts ,but i would poison it .

Parenting lessons is the point I'm making.  Too many people buy the posh dog then throw it out the back yard when it asks for attention. A dog is not a status symbol, it is a family member.

Which is why, sometimes it's a good idea to read the posts !!

Same experience a few years back, no effect whatsoever. Ear plugs are not effective with loud dog barking.

 

OP as you've spoken with the dog owner cannot implement the Thai solution. As already mentioned try reporting issue to your local Amphur, but usually requires at least two Thai neighbours to backup your complaint for action to be taken.

 

 

[JLCrab]

Maybe the OP will get lucky and, if the dog likes to spend lots of time in the street, it will meet the same fate as many of the problem dogs have in my neighborhood:

 

A speeding car or truck terminates its existence with extreme prejudice.

Same as the owner because he lets his dogs roam around on other peoples property.
