I would of course try talking to the owners first and use this only as a last resort.
them:"why the hell are you blowing that air horn?"
you:"why the hell is your dog barking?"
them:"thats what dogs do!"
you:"well this is what air horns do!"

Reminds me. One of my ideas was to position a Shure SM-57 microphone on the side of the house where the dogs bark. Immediately adjacent would be a couple of Acoustic Research AR-3a speakers connected to my then, state-of-the-art Marantz 40 watt receiver with the volume cranked to the "hurt" level. These speakers would, of course, be aimed at the neighbor's house. Or I could have been more imaginative and set up a "bark sensor" to play Kubrick's 2001 movie theme, Also Sprach Zarathustra.
Dogs prefer feedback, right?
In the end, the water dump was simpler and effective without resorting to audio hookups. Besides, the dogs might have liked the tune.
