This is a "not very nice" method but it works when the neighbors ignore your previous nice requests to help them.
Wait until the hottest day of the year - over 100 degrees is ideal.
Go out and work in your yard as close to the fence line as possible. Make sure that the dog is directly in the hot sun while it barks at you. And barks. And barks.
Let the idiot dog bark until it gets heat stroke ( a very real possibilty ). Give it some harsh eye contact if it starts to slow down in the barking.
Hope the the neighbor trains the replacement for the now deceased dog )
End of problem....and "death by excessive barking", pretty fitting.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
I know first hand that this method will actually work ( don't ask, but believe me, I tried *everything* before resorting to this... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

START 2cents
I tried the nice approach this morning with someone who's small dog was off leash running toward mine. Bear in mind my dog can be agressive plus is a GSD with high prey drive and this yappy little shit is running in his general direction.
I said to her "You might want to put you dog on leash in case he gets too close to mine and gets hurt (mince is on leash)". She replies with something like "I'll walk my dog wherever I F%*king like", "You just keep your dog on leash".
Despite my attempts to explain that I wasn't being cheeky/nasty or anything other than helpful she went off on one at which point I just laughed and walked away.
I guess some people just need to be told straight that they're an asshole and be done with it.

John, I had the same thing happen to me this morning, but my dog is just a pup, while the other dog was a big gs mix & it was not approaching in a friendly manner! When I asked the lady to please control her dog (which was off leash & ignoring her) she starting yapping at me the same way that person did to you! Sheesh...some people!

Ha, True that John, it's unbelievable how the concerned person can end up as the A**hole.
Ha, and they wander why big breeds like ours have such bad raps. IT'S BECAUSE OF IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS LIKE THAT PERSON! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did I miss something? I thought the original request was how to give unsolicited advice with RESPECT?
Can someone pleeeze explain how the the *death stare* relates in anyway to respect when in fact this gentleman has not even discussed the issue with his neighbor? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
My neighbor had a pack: Malinois, SharPei, wolf hybrid and a Yellow Lab living next door--outside BARKING, BORED and distructive 0630 to who laid the rail. BAD deal for me, sleepy head, SAD deal for the dogs. Of course I hated the situation, however, dealing with it in a fair and diplomatic manner (and yes, even a call into authorities with about 8 other neighbors) actually turned my neighbor on to e-collar and a lot more training with the dogs. It was a major turning point in their lives. And mine because I could sleep in again.

Michele - did you totally miss the part where I started with:
"This is a "not very nice" method but it works when the neighbors ignore your previous nice requests to help them.
Notice the words I used - "ignore" and "previous nice requests"...

Did you read the whole thread, or just this page? If not, you did miss something. In fact, you missed everything that preceded this page...
If you won't read the whole thing, at least read Will's clever idea, which sparked the "death stare" comment/JOKE.
