I live on 4 acres and my lab, who weighs bout 110# is outside most of the day. Ill either be cutting my grass or riding my 4mth old on the 4wheeler just putting around and my lab follows me. He knows the yards boundries and NEVER goes outside of them. Hes very mild mannered and not aggressive. Well the neighbors dogs are like a pack of fricking wolves... While im on the mower or 4wheeler, they will bum rush my dog and the bigger one thats about 80-90# will attack my dog. it happened about 3x last week, the guy even seen me with my kid on the 4wheeler when they attacked my dog... i mean im in the center of my property and they just beat the shite out of him... yesterday he bit a quarter size chunk out of his neck. wont be the first time I've shot someones dog, but what would you guys do... confront him and tell him or just fkn shoot his dog... only reason i havent yet is bc hes my neighbor, which hes also a dick.... but trying to be as civil as possible. TIA

Tell him next time his dogs attack while on your property you will shoot them. Pretty cut and dry if they're that far on your property causing trouble.

Seems pretty cut and dry. Aggressive dogs attacking your dog on your property = bullet in the aggressive dogs.

Point blank he needs to keep his dogs on his property, that is bullshite.

Ive never shot a dog and probably couldnt, but I would damn sure use that threat towards him.

It doesnt get any more straight forward than "next time they come over here and attack my dogs, especially near my child, they are taking a fricking dirt nap."

Louisiana Dog Law
Summary: These Louisiana statutory sections provide the state's animal control and dangerous dog laws. A dog becomes dangerous when (1) unprovoked, on two separate occasions within the prior thirty-six-month period, engages in any behavior that requires a defensive action by any person to prevent bodily injury when the person and the dog are off the property of the owner of the dog; (2) any dog which, when unprovoked, bites a person causing an injury; or (3) any dog which, when unprovoked, on two separate occasions within the prior thirty-six-month period, has killed, seriously bitten, inflicted injury, or otherwise caused injury to a domestic animal off the property of the owner of the dog. It is unlawful for any person to own a dangerous dog without properly restraining or confining the dog. Any citizen or officer may kill any dangerous or vicious dog, and no citizen or officer shall be liable for damages or to prosecution by reason of killing any dangerous or vicious dog. The section also provides laws on licensing, vaccination, and prohibitions on dogs running at large.

Don't say a single word to the neighbor about the dogs. They will just have "run off" one day , never to return or be found.

If he ever asks you about them just say , "damn that sucks man, maybe they ran off since you didn't keep them contained, but I'll be on the look out for them"

Is there a leash law in effect in your area?
If so, call pet control. If not, shoot the SOB and if neighbor gets loud shoot him too.

You have to call the parish animal control and file a complaint.

They will come out and talk to him.

After that you can legally kill his dog if you feel threatened or any member of your family and you will not get arrested or charged.

I've had to do this before trust me do it like I outlined above.

Take pics of your dog's injury, bring dog to vet, present neighbor with bill, tell neighbor next time his dog comes onto your property & is aggressive, you will shoot it.
What happens in a couple of years when your 4 month old is playing with your dog on your property & neighbor's dog pack runs over & starts attacking your dog & your kid ends up in the middle of it all? I'm not a "shoot first" kinda person but when you or your animal is being attacked on your property, if the owner doesn't take proper steps, then you are left with only one option, protect you & your animal.

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.

that is a damn bad situation...but honestly, there is no damn way I would kill someone else's dog without even telling them that there is a problem first...do that and it will be your word against his as to whether the dog was dangerous or not and could end up costing you some major dollars...

ETA: I would suggest you find a way to film this happening to your dog...then you can talk to your neighbor and escalate the issue as necessary...

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

I had a very similar situation when I was younger with my black lab. The attackers where two big boxers and some type of terrier.

Ended up with our lab in the vet clinic clinging to life and the neighbor a few acres away paying for it all.

My brother lit their whole three acre front yard on fire in retaliation.

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!

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...

Don't say anything and make those mf'ers disappear one by one. Starting with the lead dog. Say something and you'll be suspect number one if he looks for revenge on your dog.

I would shoot the dog after I told him I would shoot his dog.
