Our neighbor had two dogs that were quite okay.... during the day, but at night... middle of the night, they would start barking and howling. Needless to say, this gets quite old after 1 night without sleep. We spoke with the owner about it, but he couldn't do much about it.
Since our bedroom was on the second floor and overlooking the dog yard just below our window, I had a bucket of water at the ready. When they started howling, I'd open the window and dump a gallon of water on them. After a couple of times, they stopped. Maybe they thought it was a message from the heavens, maybe a case of learned response and reinforcement at work. I think a hose and nozzle might have the equivalent effect.
