but that doesn't mean I want uninvited intrusions into my home. My right to be left alone in my own home trumps any right

I don't want to listen to my neighbor's dogs barking all the time either, but there ain't a stinkin' thing I can do about it. Telemarketers, barking dogs, boom boxes...no wonder some people go off the deep end. I hate my neighbors and their barking dogs. There ya go, ya got me started now...GGRRRRRR

A nice warm hot dog on the end of a 22 rifle works very well in your situation.

Here's one solution; call the neighbor, tell him that his damn dogs won't shut up, and that you want them to quiet down.

Here's another solution: call the cops. Doubtless your town has a noise ordinance, and in enforceing it they'll make sure those dogs have all their shots, too.

Here's a third solution. Get a live trap, put some peanut butter and such in it, and keep checking and rebaiting it until you get yourself a nice fat raccoon. Then wait until those dogs are barking well after dark and throw the raccoon over the fence (wear thick leather gloves). They'll probably kill it, but they'll get all bit up and there'll be a nasty mess to clean up. The owner will get the hint.

Well, a little duct tape can go a long way to ensuring a quiet nigt with no dogs barking ;0)

Trap a skunk, and release it in your neighbor's back yard ;-).

Your comment touched me deeply... I bought property and built a house in the country. (To enjoy the peace and quiet. Later a guy moved in next door who has a sled dog team and is bording one from a friend.

You should hear these "wolves" tune up and howl as a pack!

Also several neighbors have installed mercury vapor lights. Can't see the stars anymore!

Sigh....[:(
