Neighbors and dog terrorism, venting

Janie, this may not be a long-term solution, but isn't there some kind of whistle that is very disturbing to dogs? I know a guy who bought one to get rid of the pesky dog next door that used to come into his yard and bark at him on his porch. It's either a whistle you blow into or something you press.

Good luck. I think it's really sad and those dogs are just a disaster waiting to happen.

I find it simply amazing that there are so many people that do not care if their pets, annoy, frighten or injure someone or other animals.

I have accepted the fact that when I take my dog out, it will be my responsibility to take control of other dogs. It shouldn't be, but I have had to wrangle: a husky, a black lab, and a Dalmatian. I've actually had to club a beautiful Chet land Sheep dog. This animal came tearing out of its front door and ran right to my 30lb Eskimo. He knocked my dog over and when my dog tried to get up, the attacking dog bared his teeth and went in for kill. I clubbed him hard on the head and yelled for him to stop and to my surprise...he did.

Are tasers legal in your area? If so I would suggest trying one of those. I always take my stun baton and pepper spray...taser are illegal where I live. If there is no wind I have the spray ready, if there is wind I have the 800,000 volt baton fired up and ready to go. I haven't had to stun any dogs so far. I've had two incidences where I had to hit the button on the baton and the dogs stopped, smelled the air and decided it might be better to just walk away...thank God!
 
Janie,

DH bought me a stun batton last two years ago Christmas, per my request. You can find them on the internet. I believe he paid about $50 for mine. It's the same concept as a stun gun and it is used for wild animals. I carry it with me whenever I walk my dogs. I haven't used it yet but it's my security blanket.

Look into it!

I saw where DEEDEE suggested the same thing. I have been told that just activating the batton is enough to scare most dogs away :)
 
Good Luck - I like the idea of putting that "whatever" substance into the gun and letting them dogs have it and send a warning letter to the neighbors that this time they were lucky animals......

I am an animal lover and have a very lovely German Sheppard and sometimes when people just look at my dog, they FREAK OUT! The other day my husband was walking her and was across the street and the neighbor lady ran out SCREECHING for her younger child to bring their tiny poodle indoors. My husband had our dog on a leash and was across the street and my crazy neighbor lady made a HUGE HUGE neighborhood scene. ( I secretly wanted to slug her ;)

Good luck again!!!

Try not to let that bug you too much, your neighbor was most likely reacting that way because unfortunately quite a few people are not responsible pet owners. I am very aware and when I see other dogs, on leash or not (I've had dogs pull the leash right out of their owners hands and come over to meet my dog, one idiot had her Dalmation tied to a bike...that was just laying on the ground not secured to anything) I get into a very protective state. I'm friendly, but I make sure the owner sees that I have a stunner and those with agressive hard to hold dogs usually turn and go the other direction.
 
Hi Everyone,

I just got an e-mail from the County Commissioners Office. They will be sending me a time to go to a meeting &camp; (I don't know what it is yet) and speak during the public comments section. They think that if I do this, I will be on the next ordinance agenda. YEAH!

At least something is occupying my thoughts from this recent event.

Janie

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Janey I would be very careful if I were you!! I remember a few years ago in Wisconsin I think....a bunch of dobermans attacked and killed someone. I guess when you get 2 or more dogs they can go into pack mode, and kill:eek: Just be VERY careful!!

After watching many of the famous "Dog Whisperer" shows, Cesar Milano goes into how dogs act in packs and how one is the alpha. When you let the dog be the alpha they do whatever they want.

I wonder if your neighbors aren't the "Leaders of their Pack" and thus you have the problems.

I definitely think that some of the ideas: pepper spray, stun batons, etc. would at least help.

I sure hope that that nothing horrible happens to you or your husband before you can get the issue resolved.
