Not real gung-ho on anything to do with German Shepherds right now. The $189 ultrasonic anti-bark device I bought earlier this month no longer has any effect on the POS across the street, and it’s once again a living hell to be in my own home — much less try to get any work done.

The dog is not the problem - it is the owner.
We have the same problem with the a wholes next door.
We also have a dog. But if she is barking there is an issue of some sort or she is bored. We put it to a stop either way. Those who do not do so lack consideration.
May I suggest recording the mutt and playing it back via megaphone when their dog isn’t barking, maybe when they have company? Opportunity will come LOL
We used to live across the street from a house that had teenagers who loved to play their horrible music all day outside via their automobiles. My lamps used to shake because of the bass…it was awful. This is the parents fault..not the kids who are not raised properly. I just got me some dean martin music (music I assumed they would NOT like) went out to my car, rolled the windows down, parked it in front of their house and began to play it…proudly and loudly.
Shortly thereafter, I quit hearing their music being played.
I’d say it’s the same with dogs barking. Give ‘em a bit of their own medicine.

Bad thing is, the owner is a cop in my very very small town. I’ve got 73 — yes, 73 — recordings of the animal, but although I love the megaphone idea, it probably wouldn’t be workable due to the circumstances. Options appear to be very limited.
But you’ve been very kind in trying to help, and I sincerely thank you for that.
