    Default Opinions or ideas for dog problem.

    So here is the story. I live outside of Elizabeth in a subdivision that has 5 acre lots. I have three dogs that while may bark occasionally have never caused a problem except for the UPS driver. He carries snacks and all the dogs will jump into his truck and not get out. They all stay on my property with the help of an under ground fence.

    So here is the problem, my neighbors dogs think that my property is theirs since his house is built close to the property line. His dogs have caused problems in the past by attacking my dogs with one requiring medical attention, he did pay for that incident. His dogs don't have a fenced area and seem to also think that my property is where they should crap and piss also. I have talked to him numerous times and he always has an excuse that his under ground fence is cut or that he forgot to put the collars on. I told him if he would leave the collars on the dogs wouldn't come onto my property and cause problems and that is all I care about.

    I have talked to the sheriff about the problem and he talked to him because he told me that someone complained that his dogs weren't staying on his property. Well tonight they got into a fight with my dogs again which is more like an ass kicking because my dogs are very docile no damage, but I have had it with his dogs. Should I contact the sheriff again? Also I'm afraid that he will do something to my dogs or should I just pull out the sniper rifle and drop them while on my property and claim they were attacking my dogs again? Anybody have any other ideas?????

    I can feel your pain. Obviously the neighbor doesn't care. Call the cops every time there is a an altercation. If you can catch the dogs, ask that the sheriff impound the dogs. When his dogs attack yours, take them to the vet every time and send him the bill. Make the neighbor go through the hassle of dealing with the cops every time. If the neighbor tries to do anything to your dogs, well that's a whole 'nother story.

    I'm a dog lover but just can't stand aggressive dogs and stupid people.

    Yeah...it's really not a dog problem you have. It's a neighbor problem. His dogs are just a symptom. I agree with Pook. Every time his dogs come on to your property call Animal Control. Every time they fight, take your dogs to the vet and make him pay the bill...through the courts if you have to.

    A situation like that with a dipshit neighbor must really suck.

    The problem with dogs is the same as kids, anyone can own them and raise as they see fit.

    Tough call. If you can catch his dogs on your property call the Sheriffs out and they will impound them as stated above. The other owner could be given a ticket for a leash law/animal at large type of violation if your jurisdiction has those. I hate difficult neighbors. I live next to a nightmare too, and I don't have 5 acres. They must have 300 people in their family and they all come over every day of the week. They always park 10 beat up held together by tape cars in front of my house blocking my driveway. It got to the point where I would park my 3 cars out in front of my house and just leave my garage empty. It seems to have given them a hint for now but it's always something. They are constantly yelling and carrying on.

    Anyways, sorry to get off topic. I'd recommend keeping the law involved. Worst case it will help you in civil court when you have multiple police reports to bring along with you.

    Just FYI, with this, why don't you have them towed? If there is a vehicle blocking your driveway, IIRC, you can have them towed at their expense.

    This is a genius idea. However, working with tows quite frequently I am aware of how long it takes them to respond and tow cars when it isn't for the Cops. These "family gatherings" often occur outside in the yard/on the porch where they can keep an eye on their trusty vehicles. They move them periodically so a tow may be tough to stick. And if I call a tow and they show and there is no vehicle to hook I get stuck with their response fee. Additionally, I'm trying to be a decent neighbor. Afterall I just moved into this house a few months back and I will probably be living here for at least 5 years. It's silent R GRAY for certain though.
