Don't get your panties all in a wad.
Why? Just because I assume a dog is aggressive, doesn't mean I'm going to be drawing on it.
Finally had to call the police out to the house about the aggressive dog. For the past couple weeks it had been coming around , chased my wife back in the garage when she tried to let our dogs out. This dog has some issues, one minute teeth showing chasing you inside, next minute just stands there and looks at you. The dog has been returned more than once to his home, i have spoken with the person in charge of the dog and nothing seems to work. The LEO said if it happens again and the dog shows aggression towards my family, i have the right not to retreat and defend my family legally.
Makes him happy to not have to worry about legal ramifications of defending his family against an aggressive dog. He has exhausted all remedies including having a conversation with the owner. I can't blame him for not wanting his children to end up being a chew toy for some dog whos owner is not up to snuff. S.S.S. time.
Wonder if she would wear doggie earmuff?
Have you looked into these?Welcome to Mutt Muffs!Where we live there is no dog catcher, or person to call when you have a problem with the neighbors dogs except the police or the Conservation Officer. We've had problems with dogs over the years, running in packs. I've had one of my stud Siamese cats mauled to death a few years back and just this Tuesday they killed one of my sweetest females. What do you do when you contact your neighbors over and over again telling them about the problems you are having with their dogs they let run? I live on a large amount of acreage on all sides of me so my neighbors dogs are coming a distance to get to my house, it's not like they just happened to wander across the boundry lines and are in my yard. Even if I shot their dog, it didn't replace the loss of income from my stud tom, or the companionship of my female.
If my dog was causing problems in your yard and you contacted me and I didn't take responsibility to keep my dog home I would expect you to be able to do what you pleased on your own property. All I ask is that you inform me of the problem first, so that I can take the proper steps to keep my dog home and stop the problem.
The key word here is causing problems. I know that my dog will run about half a mile to a neighbors house(friend with kids, my dog loves) when she gets scared from a loud noise(gun shot). She goes through two other neighbors yards on her way there. One of these two neighbors told me she would shoot my dog if she saw her crossing her property. I talked with a CO friend of mine and he told me that this was illegal. You can not just shoot a dog for being on your property because they don't know the boundry lines, unless they are endangering your property(livestock), pets or person.
BTW I put my dog up every time we shoot around here knowing it will scare her off the property. I usually find her hiding in the closet upstairs when we're done. Poor thing
x2. not saying it's what you want to do, and i applaud you for trying your best to remedy the situation otherwise, but no animal's life is worth a threat to a person.
