Dog next door jumping in to fence

aligator_am

Hi folks, not sure if this is the correct forum, mods if it's not then please move the post.

The neighbours next door have got a collie a few months back but in the past month or so it's taken to jumping full force into our fence, it's trying to get over.

I knocked in to the neighbours a couple of weeks ago and asked them to keep an eye on the dog and to stop it jumping in to the fence, which they said they would.

It's still doing the same thing, I was out working in the back garden this weekend getting roots up, the dog still jumping into the fence, I stood up and could clearly see the owners standing in the back door looking at the dog doing this.

I'm not sure what the next step is, although something worth noting is that I've never seen the owners bring this dog on a walk, not sure if that is relevant though.

Is there some specific reason why you don't want the dog jumping at the fence?

If it succeeds on getting over the fence then you can do something about it, if it breaks the fence, then the neighbours pay for the damage. I'm not aware of any laws that specify that dogs aren't allowed to jump at fences though.

If the dog is jumping at the fence just for the sake of it them the OP is right to be worried about the dog.
If it breaks the fence how do you make the neighbors pay for it.?
If you have not been introduced to the dog how do you know it will not bit you once in your garden.?
You make it seem like the OP is the problem.
