I've called the cops many times. All they did was talk to the owners once and threaten a ticket some day. There are some days when I'm ready to LOSE it. Part of the reason I called the cops was to make myself the prime suspect if the dogs are ever murdered, thereby ensuring that I don't ever kill them, because I know I'll be caught. How crazy is that?!
An uncle of mine had almost the same problem. Every time he walked into his back yard, the dog next door would go apeshit crazy. My uncle got a slingshot (wrist rocket) and shot the dog every time it started barking. Eventually, the dog would run away (and shut up) whenever it heard the door open.

Would you recommend the birdhouse device you got at Petco? I am considering getting one. Was it expensive?
