I have a group of neighbors that are really "clicky". I also have two beautiful dogs which I keep contained behind an underground fence. My neighbors do not like my dogs at all. They are friendly dogs and the only time you hear them is when someone is walking by the house. The neighborhood is not a busy one so we get people walking by maybe 2-3 times a day in the summer. My neighbors are now calling the police on me for the last three saturdays and in my town it is "illegal" for your dogs to bark! How unreal is that! The police officer today got the complaint and when he came into the neighborhood they were not barking. He sat in his car he said for over 20 minutes and they didn't even bark. He then proceeded to get out of his car and then walk in front of our house to the corner, which then the dogs barked a couple of times till he was just a few feet past our yard. A few minutes later a lady rode by on her bike and she too was barked at by my dogs. He said this may be intimidating for people because they are not small dogs and they may not know that they can not cross the fence line. He also stated that these neighbors do not look like they are going to stop calling every time that the dogs bark and he said he can't just keep coming to the neighborhood. I am going to have to resolve this. The neighbors are not willing to let this go by. I need to get bark collars for them even though they do not bark hardly at all. I just need them to NEVER bark!
How do I pay these annoying clicky neighbors back? I don't want to be doing anything illegal, just rather annoying so they are annoyed as I am!
