Everyone I know (except the deaf lady) HATES the neighbours dog. They have this poorly trained Rotty that barks - all the time -. I know when someone's coming to my house when they park in the STREET because he starts. He keeps going as they get their things. He keeps going as they walk up my drive. He keeps going as they knock on my door. So usually I know a person is visiting me 5-6 minutes before they even knock.
He barks at night for no reason. He barks. And barks.
He spends 13 minutes a day barking at the mailman. I timed it. 17 minutes if the mailman delivers a package.
The neighbours do nothing. And last night as M was walking IN OUR OWN DRIVEWAY to get our cat, the neighbour actually started BITCHING at him for starting the dog up again!!! No fucking joke! She said, "G-d you're in idiot, fair dinkum you should know better than to set 'im off!!" (So freaking Aussie bogan, no?)
So I'm wondering if today I should buy a Dog training (barking specifically) book... or a dog barking collar (the kind that lets out a small zap when a dog barks - nothing dangerous or painful, just surprising)... or something like that... wrapping it up very pretty, putting a bow around it and making one of my special hand made cards that only says 'Thank You' in pretty curly text and leacing it on their front door.
Or just call RSPCA.
What should I do?
I haven't slept more than 4 hours straight since moving here because of this poorly trained d-g (who I notice has not ONCE been walked since I lived here! The backyard is big, but not THAT big!!!).
Edit: Hahahaha the Jew in my took the 'o' out of dog!! I'm so smart.

I think it's nice that you're doing so much to make the owners take notice, and maybe make for a happier, less yappy dog.
