What are our rights as a homeowners?

Posted on February 3, 2012 by admin| 6 Comments

I am a legit homeowner. A year ago a family moved in to our subdivision as a lessee. The family is in a street food business, they make preparations outside their premises, causing flies and rotten smells. Their dogs are on loose and 2 incidents of dog bites have already happened. The food carts are blocking the way that people need to walk from the end of the block since they are second house on the block. The homeowners have petitioned and call for the homeowners association president. But since the president is a close freind of the family, nothing happened to the pettion. The dilemma is happening again. The dogs and ducks are out, carts blocking the way, the water they used to wash the big dishes flows on the street..and now they have added a monkey tied on a public tree. Since we have made a first move, we are requesting for a new meeting with the president. We will ask for a written agreement that the family will sign, if this will no push tru, what else can we do?

New walking problem?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

On our Sunday evening walk, a dog flew out of his yard, barking and growling with his hackles raised after our dogs. It wasn’t a new route, just a new neighborhood dog. Our 3 year old male flipped out, literally.
He looked like a fish out of water he was flopping around so much trying to get at this dog.
Up until this point, he has never had a problem with another dog, now, he gets on the defensive and starts flopping around even if he so much as hears another dog barking.
We have tried everything we can think of, tried to “re” train him to walk on a leash, reward him when he behaves, and we have started using the “gentle leader” on him again, but nothing has worked so far. (We have done this on walks by himself.) The minute he so much as hears another dog bark, he flips out.
My hubby said he isn’t going to be getting any more walks if we can’t get him to stop doing the landed fish flop. (Out of the question.)
I have run out of ideas.
Any suggestions.

Need some answers preferably from people who are familiar with laws concerning animals?

Our neighbor has 3 dogs that they never let inside. 2 Chiuahua’s and an 8 motnh old Mastiff. Every time my husband and I are out in our backyard, the mastiff jumps on the fence violently and attacks it. She is damaging the fence because I see wood chips fly through the cracks. We can’t see any damage on our side YET. She did pop out one of the fence posts the other day but we just nailed it back in. We have asked our neighbor to tie her up HUNDREDS of times. They do for a day then stop. Not only is it extremely frustrating to have to deal with this when we are outside, but I have 3 dogs myself that I worry about if that dog busts through, and we have a baby on the way! We don’t keep our dogs outside but we do let them out to just run around for an hour or so at a time. My question is what can I do? The dog is still confined to their property so it is not a leash law problem. I fear for my baby and my dogs.
I have called both the police and Animal Control and they told me that because the animal is technically still on their property for now there is nothing they can do.
kk- I am not afraid of any dog or breed. When a dog violently attacks a fence to break through it is not a good dog. I am sorry if you have been at the recieving end of this. maybe you need to train your dogs better. There is a thing called common courtesy. I have 3 dogs myself that we have trained not to bark all day and attack fences one of them being a pit bull. So NO I am not afraid of mastiffs, I am afraid of some idiot irresponsible owner (like your self it sounds) letting their dog break through the fence and attack my dogs or BABY!
