    Hi all
    In the estate I live in a chap down from us has 2 dogs that are constantly out on the road barking and following anyone that walks by. It didn't really bother me for the first while but when theyre following the wife with the buggy it's a bit much.
    They also follow cars and kids on bikes.
    We have dogs ourselves and walking past with the dogs is a nightmare!
    I ran the local dog warden today but there was no answer.
    I'm going to ring him again tomorrow but I was wondering what can he do?
    And will do I have to give him my name I don't want them knowing it was me.

    Approach your neighbour with your concern. If you get a positive response great. If it's negative then follow up with call to dog warden for advice.

    Always go directly to the problem before bringing in a third party. Your neighbour may be agreeable to take action themselves.

    The problem with going to the neighbour first is they will know it was you that went to the warden if/when they get a call. I have the same problem in my estate and I don't know what to do for the best.

    That's true. But if you go to the warden first they will say why didn't you come to me first? At least if you have approached them first they only have themselves to blame.

    I would approach them normally but to be honest they're not "salt of the earth" type people.
    I'm just wondering what can the warden do? And will it really change things?

    Well if they are on the road and not in control of their owner they could be removed. I'm not sure what the procedure would be then. Best to consult with the Warden before making an official report.

    Some people are just lazy owners. They would rather let the dogs run wild around their estates then make the effort to walk them on a lead for 30-60 minutes.

    Report them from a relatives address. Explain how you were in the area, walking down the street, and were set upon by these two out of control dogs.

    If they are Council/Corporation tenants then ring the Council /Corpo first....

    If they are'nt 'salt of the earth' people then dont approach them , if anyone gets the council/dog wardens onto them you will be the first person they'll blame.

    You could try the Gardai, i know that around my place they are not too happy to see dogs out on the street allowed to roam etc....

    But seriously, dont bother calling to their house unless there's a few neighbours calling as a group.
