Neighbours dog? What would you do?
Since I moved into this house last year the neighbours dog a couple houses down that they let wander around keeps coming over here. My dog has attacked him twice now.
I have approached her many times last year (at least 3) and she has done nothing about it. I explained to her my dog isn't friendly towards others, especially to dogs twice his size or larger like hers. Just now the same thing happened and Wendel ended up with a big mouthful of his fur. This is a very small neighbourhood around 100 houses so I don't want to cause shit. So many things have gone through my mind but it's all about punishing the dog (shooting it with a paintball so the neighbour has to wash him, dog spray deterrent) and not the neighbour who is at fault. Other than making a stink with the city or animal control any ideas? P.S. This is all happening on my property. |
The neighbor is at fault, not the dog. My neighbor's dog came onto my property and killed my cat. He told me his kids left the gate open and shrugged. I looked him in the eye and told him that HE was at fault, being the head of the house, and that if his dog was out loose ever again, I would follow up my documentation and get it destroyed. That was two years ago this month and the dog has not been loose since. It's not the dog. It's the irresponsible owner.

Paintball might get you in trouble. |
Smear some foam on her dog's muzzle and call animal control
|
Give the dog a nice treat. A nice can of chilli with beans and a couple hard boiled eggs should give the desired results. :hurray:
|
I don’t know the laws in your area but here we have leash laws. Simply put your dog must be under your control at all times when not in your home or secure fenced yard.
|
Maybe your landlord will let you install a fence? :shrug:
|
Pour some deer urine on it send it on it's way.
If it's too stupid to stop coming back for ass beatings... |
I could lend you Ringo for a few days.
Only two issues, Ringo will probably be asked to leave the plane in mid-flight, and once there he would not stop at one kill. |

Don't put the cart before the horse as they say. Need to call your local Animal Control, either city, town or county, whatever is around. Usually, they will go out and talk the first couple times. Also, how is the neighbor's dog getting into your yard? Is your yard secured from your dog getting out? Need to take care of this before calling authorities |
In the city i live in of over 200K dogs must be on a leash or they're fined. The only time dogs don't have to be on a leash is at the dog park.

Move.
|
Call the sheriff. They will come by and they will fine the owner. Usually one or two $500 fines gets the message across.

This house has no fencing. I have no idea how her dog keeps getting out. She's old which is another reason I'm not calling anyone. |
