Since fifteen thousand years ago, canines have been tamed and domesticated as humans' companions and guardians. They are hypersensitive to sounds and smells. Plus, they are joyful yet can become aggressive and attack. Also, their barks are loud and intimidating, which is one of the dogs' natural useful weapons to alert strange beings. Thanks to these woofing beats, our ancestors could sleep safe and sound while knowing being guarded by hearing the barks. However, in the modern days, nocturnal dog barks are so nightmarish that some people have to come up with desperate ideas to deal with them.

The original poster (user account name
u/theBuzzRaise) shared his thoughts on the eerie subreddit
r/UnethicalLifeProTips about how he had been suffering from the neighbor's dog barking relentlessly. The couple owning this dog always argued with each other and abandoned teaching him. The noisy all-day-long woofing upset many habitants in the building complex and drove the OP insane.

Therefore, the OP consulted Reddit to see if a dog whistle could be helpful in this situation. His idea was to use it to provoke the dog to yap at 3 a.m. and escalate everyone's detestation so that the whole annoying family would be kicked out at once.

Netizens mostly didn't take the OP's idea seriously but found it
funny, so they didn't miss the chance to joke about it. They even offered other plans to "slander" the dog family and increase their eviction percentage. Besides, they warned the OP that whichever he chose to put on, he should be careful that no cameras or people could catch him red-handed unless he wanted to be the thrown-out man instead.

Other serious Redditors advised the OP about the ultrasonic devices sold in petshops, eBay, Amazon, et. They suggested he should install them so that he wouldn't have to set his alarm clock, get up in the early morning and wake everybody, including the dog. Furthermore, they recommended informing the building's management department and asking them to work with the neighbor.

On the other hand, some dog people objected to the OP's tip. They cited that the dog barked because he was anxious and distressed by his owners' discord. They assumed he even might have been neglected in the apartment, hence poking him and raising his anxiety wasn't kind and merciful. They convinced the OP that in this case, if talking to his owners didn't work, he should call the building's hotline and contact animal control.
