My street is very social and we have birthday parties, card games, shopping trips, poker nights, dancing in garages, etc. The neighbors who tend to be negative and controversial are not included. I prefer to live amicably among my neighbors, be on good terms with them, and be included in neighborhood activities. I'm here to enjoy the life I have left and not put on my boxing gloves...especially for situations that aren't life threatening, dangerous, or destructive.

I'd fight against doctors who don't do their job or something else that is detriment to me living a longer, healthier life...not a neighbor who blocks my "view".

Excellent attitude Bright. Your neighbors are fortunate. Your outlook is realistic and kind.

We live in a neighborhood with more dogs than you would believe. Bought one of these and it worked on some of the dogs but the little white yappers, it just gets them going more. Boxer next door did not like it and would go inside when I used it, I almost felt sorry for him, while the others just keep going.

You used this thing on your neighbor's dog while it was in it's own yard? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You don't see anything wrong in that?

IMO, this is sick.

Cruel.

I hope he wasnt using it for a thrill. Kinda scary thinking that someone can use something like that and no one would know except the torchered dogs.

I do not think these "would torture" a dog. It just gives out a sound.Do not understand? What is so bad about what this guy did.If I had his problem would buy one in a second.

Really? It just gives out a sound? Have you ever seen what high-pitch sounds do to a dog? When my fire alarm battery chirps for replacement my dog starts shaking and hides under the bed.

Those things are meant as a training device, not to zap your neighbors dogs while they are in THEIR OWN YARDS. Do you go around smacking other peoples children too? Where do you draw the line?

I hesitate to get involved in this discussion but in reading this protracted thread, I just have to weigh in. This thread has gone crazy from suing to taking it out on the dogs.

Happinow has described HER lot as sitting back and down from the golf course. Is it possible, because of the placement of HER lot, she is expecting HER neighbor who sits further out on the golf course to sacrifice what THEY bought for THEIR needs? Just posing the question. Sometimes we need to consider another person's point of view.

I am not saying that Happinow's view has not been compromised but perhaps the neighbor paid a premium for a property that was further out on the course than hers so that they could do precisely what they are doing and satisfy their needs.
Before we chose this lot, we knew we didn't want to see any houses out our back on the golf course and so we checked. We chose a lot that no matter how far out someone built, we would still be out further so our view would not be impacted in any meaningful way. We drove to the other side of the course to see what had and what hadn't been built on the other side of the hill to know exactly what we would be looking at. And, more important, what could still be built that could impact our view.

Happinow is wise in talking to those who have the real knowledge to decide whether she is in the position of right or the neighbor is within his/her right and letting them speak to the neighbor. A public forum is not the place this will be resolved and given what has been posted, if seen or heard about, will make the chance of "mending fences" more difficult if at all possible. If it were me, I would ask the admin to take this thing down immediately. My insignificant opinion.

Patty,Sorry children are "Human Beings"---Dogs are "Animals think a big difference. So its allright to use as a training devise? So you dog hides under the bed when your battery chirps-- Well what can I say?

And a valid opinion.

This is getting very ugly and out of hand.

(Pulling on my flame suit here)

If Happinow paid for an unobstructive view, then she has a complaint, but what exactly is her problem?

She mentions electric fencing, maybe the reason for the shrubs is so the dogs will have a sight line that they will "respect" as a fence rather than just run till they are zapped. What would she have them do, count strides?

She also mentions the guy drives a "red vet", unless he has a former Communist army member pulling him in a rickshaw I think he has a red corvette-who cares. He's rude to his help, again unless she's taking up house cleaning, this should not be her problem.

This guy is planting landscaping ON HIS OWN PROPERTY, his dog is in his own house, he will be running without a leash IN HIS OWN BACKYARD (is their now a leash-law prohibiting this).

As far as having a decent relationship with your neighbors, I think that ship has sailed. Look at the bright side, you're getting some free landscaping.

Nothing to say, I'm going to take the Zen approach here...

"THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE, THEY DO WHAT THEY DO".

Yes, it is alright to use a training device on your own dog, it's not a device I would endorse. It is not alright to use it on a neighbors dog that is on their own property.
