Caught the dog warden looking in my window

popa smurf

Dog warden was around our area today and rang door bell and I seen the van and didn't answer the door than I seen him looking in the window. I opened the door and rid him out of it and called him a peeping tom, he asked had I a dog and I said no and he went off and checked over the back fence as he left. What kind of powers do these power trippers have.

OP, that's some tail. That sounds ruff. I'm surprised he didn't paws first before looking in the window. Definitely sounds like that job has gone to the dogs.

OP is a dog posting from his doghouse.

Should have told him to quit hounding you and that he's barking up the wrong tree.

Probably has a Dog complex, OP.

Thanks for the heads up

Do these dudes use drones ?

Is it enough that I stay upstairs or do I need to close the curtains too ?

BTW what part of the world are you in ?

This is the first time I've ever heard of a dog warden, but if it's their job to look after dogs, and they care about their job, then I like them a lot.

Well i do have a dog but he spends most of his day sitting on the couch. The wardens nose is so good he could probably smell him from outside the window.

Lucky bastard. I have to pay good money to have someone watch me ****.

Nothing surprises me now

He obviously barking up the wrong tree. Sounds like he was a bit of a pup. Did he have a lead that made him call to you? At least you let him know your bark is worse than your bite.

You sort of lose all moral highground there.

And ps. you also need a Tv licence.

They can seize your dog, organise a fine and day out in court and make.your life legally difficult. I'd be buying a license and cooperating. Hey have nasty powers and if you get on the wrong side of one its your poor.dog yhat will pay yhe price. Say you thought he was trying to break in or an imposter . Yhey never 'just' call out - your neighbour or someone has given them.your name and made a.complaint. no doubt they will provide photos too.. People can be nasty. Mind.yourself. They have powers.

Ah pay for a dog licence cheapskate it's only 20 Euro - the money goes towards our pounds and it might save another dogs life.

Are we still talking about your "dog"?

Kill your neighbours as a warning to any other snitches. Its the only way.

That doesn't excuse him from needing a licence. The dog warden did not just call on the off chance; he has obviously been alerted to the dog. You'd need to be careful, as a fine may be forthcoming if he sees the dog or has reason to believe you have one. Just get the damned licence.

Called to me the day before yesterday.
First time ever although I have seen the dog warden van once in a blue moon over the years.

What do you call getting fined for no dog license?

Will you pay a vet to do that, or take the cheap option of a sack weighed down with rocks in the nearest river?

But he hasn't lost on the money front !

Top reasons people call the dog warden:

1. Left out the back barking annoying the neighbours

2. Left out front barking, snapping and charging at people walking past

3. Crapping places people don't want him to crap

Dog licences apply to all sizes of dog, house or otherwise once he's over 4 months. Stop being a mane bastard.

Maybe he was looking for his kween?

In my old house we were constantly getting letters from the dog warden saying that they had "been made aware that we were keeping dogs without a license".

We had 3 dogs. None were barkers. None were pooping everywhere or annoying the neighbours.

But clearly someone had a spite on them/us and kept calling the warden.

We had licenses for all 3, and yet every time the warden was contacted they made us send in copies of the licenses. Doesn't matter that the warden works for the council, and the bloody licenses were registered with the council. God forbid they might actually cross check before sending out a warning.

Pretty sure I figured out the culprit in the end. I was taking the dogs for a walk and a grumpy oul turd a few doors down shouted at me that I shouldn't be keeping dangerous dogs. I had 2 Rotties and a miniature JR. Dogs were on a lead and perfectly well behaved but he was a cranky old prick.

Dog warden wasn't a good boy was he?

A friend of mine got a black and white dog . . . he thought the licence would be cheaper. He told me he bought the dog off a blacksmith and sure enough as soon as he got him home he made a bolt for the front door.

I hear they use helicopters to check the backyards for dogs.

Did the Rottweilers have a muzzle as well as a lead?

I think you'll find you had only two dogs.
The miniature JR isnt really a dog and is actually exempt from requiring a licence.

Genuine question, do they call randomly? As one knocked on my house last year asking to produce our dog license, we dont own a dog, never have and he kind of mumbled and chuffled on. He didnt knock into our neighbours though? Always found it quite strange but it was definitely the warden.
