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!
