Question
Complete this sentence with what you want to say to your neighbor, but won't.
Here is mine: Dear Neighbor, if we don't answer the phone please don't drive down here to see if we are home. We are, we are just ditching you due to your constant neediness.

Muzzle them little ankle biters will ya?
I swear the second they open the door they come out and bark/yap/bark up a storm like there was an intruder right there in their yard!
It's good that my rifle is up in Oregon...as some high speed lead poisoning would befall them.
Now... put a leash on them and walk by my house and they are sweet as can be, well behaved and they get petted by me if the owner stops.
I could see if they lived up against the greenbelt with bike trail that sees quite a few walkers, riders and dogs getting walked go by...sure they would bark to protect their territory, but in ankle biter's case, they just back up to my yard and the next door neighbor's yard...that's it.
I can see 1 or 2 barks...but 20 minutes at a time...wtf?

You could try going out there and talking to them through the fence, to let them know that there's a good guy on the other side, that might help some. If that fails, you could do what I did with a neighbors dog but I'm not sure it would work on small dogs. See my previous post that I've pasted below.
The other option is ear plugs.

I've tried the over the fence thing, I've been doing a lot of yard stuff and have had to have ear protection on, so that helps.
I've had the kitchen window open on a nice night, set a glass in the sink and it will "clink" and the little bastards will go off the hook.
I don't know the bread, but they are about a foot long and 9 or so inches tall.
I think the guy is on them when they start, but the wife just lets them out and shuts the door and so it takes a while before she'll open the door and address them.
I've been in the front yard, dropped a shovel handle onto the sidewalk and they go off the hook...still in their own backyard...Really?? WTF?
1 dog is about 2 or 3, the other is 1...he starts off and then the older dog "HAS" to bark as well. Sometimes they get the next door (still behind me) going as well...
Fuuuuu uuuuuck! Shut UP!!!
I'm all for positive reinforcement, I'm all for NEGATIVE as well...Hell I'd pay for the shock collar if they'd actually be put into use.

I used all of my strength to not open the sliding glass door and yell "SHUT THE FARK UP" or "BRING THE LITTLE FARKER IN THE HOUSE YOU ASSHOLES!"
