re: **UPDATE last page**Opinion on how you would handle neighbors dog

I live out in the middle of the woods, def no leash law.... I think i might take pics and send to vet monday... just for documentation... send it to him and let him know theres a .308 w his name on it.

You need to call the law and make a report. Then his dog will have one more time to be aggressive and they will take care of it or you can kill it in the act. Atleast this is what the law told me.

First time dogs attacked mine he gets warning. Second time his dogs get a hollow point to the dome. I've done it.

Freeze +P works on dogs as well

If you are going to use that law as justification for shooting your neighbors dog, you had better have a report filed with animal control to prove there was a prior situation.

My wife and her dog were attacked by three yellow labs in our neighborhood in 2005. My wife was bitten fighting to save her little dog which sustained serious injuries.

The authorities would not declare that the dog's were dangerous, only that they were "potentially dangerous" because they considered it a first offense. We had two neighbors write letters saying that their dogs were attacked by these mutts on two separate occasions but it was worthless since they didn't report the attacks.

FWIW, I would not have a problem shooting a dog that is threatening a member of my family (pets included).

First of all, call the police and file a report. Bring your dog to the vet and go knock on said neighbors door with the bills.
I doubt if his dogs are up on all shots, so the pound would be called and possible 10 day quarantine would take place, all on his dime. They would fine him also.

Let him know you fear for your child's safety and let him know the vicious dog is NOT allowed to cross the property line. He should get the point. If not, carry a pistol/gun and put that mother fricker down if he comes across!

My dog took a bite out of my neighbor's dog (across the street). They were basically in the road, but my dog was the aggressor. He was protecting my other dog that was in a standoff growling nose to nose with neighbor's dog.
My dog grabbed him by the arse and dragged him backwards. We both broke em up quickly, and originally neighbor said all is good. A few minutes later he came and knocked and said he was heading to the vet. I said I would pay half because both of our dogs weren't on a leash, which is law in town. regardless of aggressor, we both were responsible for the dogs which "fought".

Make sure you aren't partly responsible and do your best to get your point across, if you are friends with this neighbor. But do it NOW!

All he has to do is put one of those electric boundaries up. His dog will learn QUICKLY!

He seen it last week when I had my 4mth old on the 4wheeler... he yelled and called the dog back, so he knows its going on.

Which is why this is simple to me. Most people seeing this would take steps to stop it.

If he's seen and hasn't stopped them, you telling him will only make sure he knows it's you if the dog(s) "disappear" so don't speak to him, but do go ahead and eliminate the threat to your kid/dogs. Be dam sure you don't post about it on here or Myface.

fwiw, if you don't have a good fence between your property and his, this sounds like a good time to install one...solves this problem immediately and also the inevitable property line disputes that are coming in the future...
