    Confront the neighbor if you haven't yet. If that didn't work, call city animal control and the cops.

    Ken, that's kind of creepy.

    Go talk to the neighbor. If that doesn't work, Frisco probably has some kind of nuisance noise ordinance, so call the cops.

    If you're the non-confrontational type and have a lot of patience, a nocturnal application of a high nitrogen fertilizer can spell W O O F ! in a deep verdant green come March.

    This reminds me of a true story that happened about 12 years ago. This VP of our IT dept. had a barking dog that his neighbors complained about. So he ordered a collar that would give his dog an electric shock when it barked. When the collar arrived he showed it to his wife and said "honey, let me show you how it works". He put it on and let out a big "WOOF!!". The collar shocked him so bad that he fell out of his chair. His wife laughed so hard that she cried. The collar partially worked on the dog. The dog learned to control the volume of its bark to keep from getting shocked.

    So it was okay to go woof! ?

    Same situation a few years back.

    Talked to the neighbor and they didn't want a shock collar because they thought it was inhumane. Instead, they got a citrus-spray collar. Same idea, sort of. When the dog barks, the collar sprays an annoying citrus mist in front of his face.

    After a short while (just a few days) the dog learned to woof.

    BTW, we offered to go halfsies on the cost since it was their dog but our annoyance. In the end, everybody was happy.

    Good Luck!!

    The only problem with confronting the neighbor is that, in my experience, my neighbors put their pets on par with having kids and they don't care who is bothered by them. Then you are just tagged a whiney neighbor.

    After several sleepless nights I called my neighbor (yeah I knew them...) at 3 am to ask them to bring their dogs in as they had been barking the whole night...I got yelled at and basically got told to *****off. Wow, found out later they were pissed because I didn't MAKE my daughter babysit for them as their kids where unmanageable and she didn't want to sit for them.

    Anyway.

    Good Luck!!

    Hahaha, just read this. I think more like goat than venison...but all are pretty similar. Where did you have it? How was it prepared?

    Toss over a hot dog with some benadryl in it. The dog will sleep soundly.

    Just don't use too much!

    At a resteraunt that was shut down for being suspected of serving it as Fajita meat in Waco. They did have a number of dogs in the back fence.

    Hahaha, so it's not verified? I actually had it in China. Had it shabu shabu style as well as the ribs in a sweet & sour sauce. Yummm!

    Buy a harley and rev the engine at all hours of the night pretending your tuning the carbs to get even. Or tell all your friends to just honk their horn instead of ringing your doorbell when they come over.

    I have the same problem with my neighbors, but half the time its my stupid dogs barking...

    Leave a plate of bacon near the fence in your backyard one night.
    Leave your gate open that night.
    Next morning discover Fluffy dug into your yard and ran away.
    Act real sad and offer moral support to the neighbors.
