Leaving a dog outside to bark early in the morning is not just mean to the dog, but also to all the neighbors.
What would you do if your neighbors left their dog out and wouldn’t bring it back in even though you asked them to control its barking?
That is the situation that the person in this story is in, so he is thinking about running his loud boat motor in the morning to drive the neighbors insane until they let the dog back inside.
Sometimes you are left with no option but to fight fire with fire. Read through the full story below and see what you think they should do.
Dog owner chains their dog up in the early hours of the morning where it barks at anything that moves. Neighbors frustrated by the barking & decide to bring their concerns to the owners attention. Owner: “iT’s A dOg!” Retired man has a solution.
I found this on the Nextdoor app for my neighborhood.
Barking dogs can be very annoying.
Someone had been chaining their dog up outside in the early hours of the morning and neighbors were becoming frustrated with its incessant barking.
One user shared their father-in-law’s solution to a similar dilemma and I found his compliance to be malicious enough to share with you guys.
Let’s see what the solution was.
“My father in-law had neighbors that let their dog out early in the morning and he is retired, so not always up at that time.
They would chain it in the front yard for 1 hr or more and it would bark at every car that went by continuously.
Sure, dogs bark, but it is the owner’s responsibility to stop them.
He talked to them about it and they got belligerent with him and started cussing at him and their response about the dog was “it’s a dog”.
The property frontage is about 100 feet so the houses were close. Since talking didn’t work, he solved the problem by working on his boat motor at 7:05, within the city ordnance time.
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
He cranked that up 3 days in a row for about 15 minutes each day.
The dog miraculously stopped barking.
If a neighbor won’t keep their dog quiet, you have to give them a reason to do what you want. In this case, that meant running a boat motor.

The other neighbors are the victims here.
That’s one way to deal with it.
The neighborhood could get very loud.

Just because a dog is a dog doesn’t mean you have to let it bark.
When you have loud neighbors, you do what you have to do to get them to quiet down. If they don’t listen to reason, you have to give them some consequences for their behavior.
In most cases, people will realize that they are causing problems and stop. Sometimes, however, they will just escalate the issue.
