Dealing with neighbour dog

Smidge

I would like to be able to walk my dog but keep getting attacked by a neighbour dog!!!
My dog is on a leash but this bloody dog(in fairness I have only tried walking twice recently due to its nature and past experience) keeps leaving its property and attacking us. I live rurally and was lucky to get away the last time from this dog. I bought a sonic device and the damn dog was hardly afraid of it:eek:
got to about 10 feet from me and that was way too close, snarling teeth bared etc.
Had to ring husband to get me:(
What would you do??
How would you approach this situation?
Would really love to be able to walk on my own lane but dont want to lose a limb doing so!!!

Buy a gun or train your dog during the next few months to fight. This will have to include at least one Rocky esque training montage.

Good luck.

Get a long stick and give him a good whack with it.

That's two shots.

Tell your neighbour or run over the dog. I have a similar problem with a neighbours dog. Next time I catch him when I'm driving, I'm going to kill him.

OP I suggest putting this in the animals and pet issues forum you might actually get some proper replies.

Yeah, do this ^ op... here it is: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=240

Hande hoche!

Talk to your neighbours. The dog might get run over if it's constantly going onto the road.

Incidently, there was another dog that was a huge nuisance and one of my neighbours ran it over and killed it. Recriminations all round not to mention pretty f**king cruel

Absolute scum. OP talk to the owner asap. If you have a small dog just pick it up as you walk by. I do it often with my little dog.

Smidge

Not a small dog but timid non the less, samoyed husky and lovely!
this is really starting to annoy me as I have quit the fags and need the exercise:D

Your dog is a Samoyed or the one that attacks? You definitely need to speak to the owners.

Smidge

Mine is the samoyed and would give the silver to the burglars! These people are not particularly nice:mad:

You have the right to report the dog then if it is genuinely attacking your dog and not just sniffing around/being annoying

I doubt they would. If they do ring the police and tell them there is a wicked dog out on the road.

Take it as far as you're brave enough to push it.

Make a decision and stick with it.

OP definitely post this in the animal forum or get one of the mods to move it. You'll get much better advice.

Smidge

I have to be honest here the dog that I said that got run over was a torment! The person that ran it over was bitten twice(once pretty nasty) by the dog and the po po dint do a thing. They feel us city folk have a different view about dogs as they do. I would never hurt an animal but when human right are less, what do we do???

Smidge

Also, grateful for the replies. May have posted in the oddest of places!

Bit of rat poison in some meat should deal with the mutt.

If you do approach the owner and get this response, I would advise contacting the local dog warden through your County Council, explain what the dog is doing and how you have tried to reason with the owner and see if they can have a word.
Then if all else fails report it to the guards.

Just as an aside, my O/H's home place is on a residential street in a nearby town and some years ago a lady rang the bell to ask if they could put manners on one of their cats who used to wait for this lady and her poodle to come by and then lash out under the gate at the poodle's legs for the craic. O/H's mother was mortified! Needless to say the cat was taken indoors around the time the lady would take her dog for his stroll.

We had a dog (GSD) like that around here, many neighbours spoke to it's owners as it was extremely aggressive and not being controlled at all. It would chase people along the road and it got to the stage even full grown men wouldnt walk past it's house/property without a stick or something (just in case). I myself ended swinging the bin at it to stop it from attacking me.

Lots of people spoke to the owners numerous times and nothing was being done even after several people were bitten.

Eventually one of the local farmers had someone run past with a bitch in heat, straight into a field full of sheep. Dog chased the bitch into the field....

Farmer took care of it.....

Now....I woulnd't condone at all taking this kind of action but if the owners aren't taking responsibility for their dog something needs to be done. Ideally of course this would not involve the dog being hurt.

However it's always struck me as odd that a dog can be shot for worrying livestock without too much problems but it's almost impossible to do something about a dog that can 'terrorise' a whole neighbourhood, unless the owners cooperate.

If I were you I'd take I'd
1) speak to the owners, if they're not cooperative
2) speak to the guards and the dog warden
3) speak to the local ISPCA, more likely than not they'll have dealt with something like this before and they might well have contacts with either guards or dog warden.
It's not a nice situation to be in alright, I don't envy you.

Won't somebody think of the children

Worry some sheep.
Blame the dog.

OP, post again in Animals forum as suggested.
