We asked a neighbor to shut up her interbred dogs and in response she filed a case against us and lost! Contrary to popular perception the barangay spanked the local.

The times I have been involved with the Barangay I have always found them to be impartial.

Muppet next door letting firecrackers off in the afternoon,

I had 10 days of that around Christmas and new year I told them to bugger off so did my wife but after a few days they were back and I was just about to go to them when a neighbour came out and told them to go away as they were not even from our barangay. That did the trick, around here they seem to be quite thoughtful of other people and noise pollution.

@jimeve The unit turned up yesterday ( a day early) I put it on charge and at 3 am this morning the dogs around were barking, but not the dogs next door who were nearest the unit. Does my anti dog barking unit work I would say it does what it states in the description. 

Should work for dogs nearby, but the dogs in the next field are to far away, that's where they start fighting.

Last night they were fighting again, absolutely knackered from lack of sleep, got up 3 times to try and stop them fighting. I find  that shining a flashlight at them stops them temporarily.

Wife won't do anything about it, she says it's the Philippines. FFS.

I am buying a dog whistle from Shoppee for 192 pesos to see if that helps with the dogs farther away. Jim I will keep you informed of the results.

Jim sound proofing your units might help keep your tentants.....sliding windows instead of jealosi type. Another option... Armstrong Accoustic Boards P320 each from City Hardware (no more stock just at present) and use these in the window frames if dog noise gets too much... works well we find.

When we remodel we will use double glazed units and shutters rather than bars.

Hi Mike, already got sliding windows just had a glazer put an extra pane of glass on all the windows. Tennants still here.

How does that work?  Does it look good and the glass is still clear?

Secondary glazing as it is called, works very well, though not quite as effective at sound reduction as proper double glazing, which has an inert gas between the panes.  It is as clear as the original window. And it helps with insulation as well.

If you can get proper double glazed windows, they are the preferred option, but they are not very common here in phils.
