 Topic: Dogs running wild
Posted: 04 Feb 2022 at 8:15pm |
|
I would really like everyone's opinions on this to help me figure out what to do. I do not hunt myself but my brother does. Our neighbor directly across the road has two large dogs that run anywhere. Last Spring my brother was aware that the deer fawns were being born and was worried about the pressure these dogs were presenting to does possibly making them move off our property. My brother asked the owner if he could possibly keep his dogs off our property atleast during the time the fawns are born because they were constantly killing any and everything. I thought this was a reasonable request but it ended up in a argument because he never heard of such a thing. I am a real animal lover but what do you think about keeping other people's dogs on your own property? Thanks, Ryan

I think some ELSES dogs have no business on YOUR property... Similar to Trespassing.

The neighbor couldn't believe we were making such a request. There wasn't a day that those two dogs weren't dragging a dead possum or raccoon off our property. I want to keep things civil but really needed input from others. Ryan

Shave a stripe down the dog's back, pour one of them glow paint sticks down the stripe, and turn it loose to head home, around dark... No, seriously call the local SPCA and have them catch the dog. Then the neighbor will have to bail it out, at the pound. I did this once, they said that they don't call the dog's owner, so be ready to make a call from a phone booth, pretending to be the animal control officer, " informing the owner" that the dog will be put to sleep at a certain date...

Can’t stand dog owners that let their dogs run all over the neighborhood. Almost as bad as those that move away, and leave their pets behind.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

As long as dogs are not causing a problem on my property I leave them alone. I have even had them sit down under my deer stand. I love dogs and consider mine family but I also recognize my responsibility to not let her become a nuisance. However these seem to be causing a problem on your property and since animal control or local law enforcement probably won't be of much assistance you may have better results by contacting your local DNR ranger. However it may be time for the SSS tonic. You might want to wait until deer season opens so the gun shot won't attract as much attention. It is a shame that many people do not care enough for their dogs to keep them from being a nuisance to others.

I agree with calling some sort of authority. Either that or just start feeding the damn thing and maybe they'll quit killing and carrying off.

around here if there is a problem with other peoples dogs on your property, a call to the Sheriff's office, they will come out, shoot them, then it's your responcability to bury them. i myself couldn't shoot anyones dog. i have lost a dog a couple times, and i always call the Sheriff's ofc and tell them i'm missing one and trying to find it, if they are not busy they'll come help to look...at least if they find mine, they won't shoot it as a stray! if them dogs is riding your property of possums and coons, thems good dogs! but i do understand about the fawns too. maybe if you catch them and tie them to a tree on their owners property, eventually they'll come looking for them, and maybe get the hint when they find them tied up?

if the dogs aren't afraid and they will come up to you, just put a tag on them that says:
"I've been a bad dog. Please keep me on my own property".
Then send them on their way home.

It's been a long time since I've had a dog. When I did the Invisible Fence worked very well to keep him on our property.

Had a truck driver say one time that the 2 most precious things to a man is his dog and his mailbox, hit either one and you'll find out! My dogs don't run loose but I do let them out of the fenced area every morning to do dog stuff. They know the property line and pretty much adhere to it. Now I will let the big dog out during the day, he will sit and watch squirrels in the neighbors yard very intently but won't move unless it crosses the road into our yard then all bets are off. I think he'd chase him to hell and back if the squirrel could outrun him that far. So far 30 yards is about all it takes him. Teaching dogs boundaries has to start early, probably too late for those two.

Ryan does this nieghbor have any woods like your farm does ? I would find some coon / coyote hunters and let them know this guy thinks it is OK to run dogs on other people's property. Give him a little of his own medicine.

Another approach is tell the nieghbor since the property is no good for hunting due to his dogs you guys are going to start a hog confinement operation.

This is a difficult thing to decide on, dogs, like humans are unique. I've lived on my place for 35 years, when I moved here it was myself and a few neighbors. I've had dogs and they roamed free, they would stay close most of the time but definitely had their routine and would go off on their travels. Lots of woods and ground to explore. They weren't aggressive yet they were protective of my property as that is a dog's natural instinct.
Now multiple homes have been built and people expect dogs and other pets to remain within property boundaries. My neighbors across the road who have lived there many years have always had dogs, they roam free. I have no issue with them, in fact I love those dogs, feed them biscuits every day. They are a pair of black Labs, both female, one young and one old. The young one respects her elder and always let's her first in line for their biscuits. I really enjoy watching them and their routine.
Now, with more neighbors and people who moved from the city they may not like the fact these dogs having the freedom to move about. I feel differently as these dogs aren't destructive or mean, their bark is for sure worse than their bite. We have no Animal Control available, in the past I have taken stray dogs to a facility in town. Also have taken in a few strays, turned out to be wonderful pets.
On the other hand, if these dogs were aggressive or a threat to others I would feel differently, the owner would need to be found and something done to protect others. As long as a dog is friendly, they are welcome on my property. That's just my take.

On the fence with this. One side I have no remorse dealing with aggressive dogs. Cheap fix and if they come looking I know nothing. Other side, if they play nice then they are welcome. Currently the neighbors dog is a young Husky male that's taken to harassing my old Lab and stealing deliveries off my stoop. I don't trust him on my property but he's fine on his side. Considering a pellet pistol when he's not looking. Might decide it hurts too much to visit. Accountant has complained to owner, but he does nothing.

If they're male dogs, a BB or two to the scrotum would be a fair start at getting your point across. When my uncle was in school there was a dog that tore out their trash pretty often and Terry would have to clean it up. One day he came home and caught the dog hip deep in a trash can that was on its side. He snuck in the house and grabbed his BB gun, snuck behind the dog, and one point blank BB to the ball sack was all it took. Trash didn't get bothered anymore

Had an Uncle in law who had a neighbor's dog that showed up at his front door every day and took a leak on his metal storm door. Well he also had a metal door mat for scraping your feet. Well you may have guessed by now...Uncle put one leg of a power cord to the door, the other leg to the floor mat. Well the dog did relieve himself one more time on the door but that was it. It did not kill the dog but did end the problem.

We had a friend who was a mechanic. Loaned him a AC electric fence unit, real old, the kind that had a screw in Bus fuse, like the old fuse boxes used. He had bought some boxwoods from us, over the years, lived in town, hadda problem with neighbor's town dog coming by and lifting a leg on his boxwoods. Anyway, he set it up, wire around the shrubs, but the fuse was blown in that old fencer, so he replaced it with a hunnert watt light bulb! Said the dog pissed on the wire, and just kinda stood there like he was froze in time! It seems that in replacing the fuse with the light bulb, he had done the equivalent of deleting the fuse! Anyway, he turned the fencer off, removed it, returned it, and moved the dog to the premises of another neighbor he didn't like... When they found it, someone asked why it looked like it was peeing?

Any owner of a dog with the 'he can go anywhere attitude' is NOT a dog lover. ask again nicely, please keep your dogs off my property, if he gives you a hard time, get a paintball gun, pop a couple at the dogs,various random colors,stings but NOT lethal. he 'might' get the hint. up here, 'animal control' will pickup unleashed dogs,goto SPCA, no tag or chip, unclaimed they get resold or put down. Maybe ask local 'pound' what the routine is where you are ?
if you're allowed to hunt on your property, kindly remind him that hunters will be on your land and you'd feel bad if an accident occoured. It's NOtTthe dogs fault , it's the idiot owner.

Pepper spray is suppose to be quite effective on dogs, and wont permanently harm them. If that helps.

we have 4 big dogs, 2 Goldens and 2 Labs. they are lickers...not biters. 3 of them know the boundries and we;re still working on the 4th (puppy), they are house dogs and if they are outside, so are we. living so close to the highway...it wouldn't take much to lose them. we enjoy and love them to much. new neighbors have let their dogs run free as they moved to the country and think they have the right to. we keep a horse lunging whip with a long rope part, snaps loud and can reach a long ways. it works well on them strays, when i snap their butts. very seldom see them again. and have used a BB gun like Tyler explained in the past. BB gun is to rusty to use anymore. also have used electric fencer for dogs and other critters that find their way here. coons really hate them!

We had a pack of dogs awhile back killing deer, not eating them just killing, lots of carnage till hunted down. They were several neighbors dogs that were home during day, nice and obedient, but at night...
Packs of dogs have attacked and killed several people, wolves have never done that except when sick and diseased and that is extremely rare.
Two dogs are a pack, I would call DNR.

Pointing out that dogs are way worse then wolves, many dog lovers think their dogs can do no wrong.

This has been several years back but my oldest brother lived in town. He had a shop he worked in. I don't know for sure what he did to piss this neighbor dog off, but this dog would crap on his door step at night. The same path he took in the mornings. Brother was pretty ill tempered anyway especially when he wasn't awaked yet. Not sure what he did but it didn't happen anymore after about a week and a half.

Well, I've had mixed results with them dogs at large out here and there is never a good result when owners let their dogs run loose on other's property.
I used to have a big German Shephard that got out of fenced yard ONE time and ran towards the neighbor's fence where he had some goats and he shot the dog,,then had the nerve to call me to come get my dog to bury it. I asked him WHY he had shot it and the AH says,,,"I figured your dog was gonna get inside the fence and kill my goats" I told him that since he shot it, he could bury it,,AND told him if any of his animals including himself, ever came onto my property,,I was going to shoot them Including HIM!! Well,, guess what,,his goats got out after that and as soon as one got on my property, I gathered it up in the trk and drove it bout 10 miles up the road where I knew the people had a bunch of mean azzed DOGS,,,,and turned that filthy goat loose with them dogs,,,,, Didn't take long,,,,,, The other time the neighbor across the street got a mongrel that he would let loose after dark and raise ruckus with ole Hungry cause ole Hungry was inside His fence and wanting out. I went across and asked him nice to keep his dog in his yard and he never would say much. Well, I finally called County Animal Control and they came and picked the dog up and it cost the neighbor $38 to get it out,,,,BUT,,,BUT,,,the friggin neighbor turned the dog loose again that night!!! So I again called Animal Control and that time that took the dog to main pound in Carlsbad ( bout 40 miles south of us),,,,never seen the friggin dog after that,,,,,,, problem solved. More'n one way to skin a cat, besides,,,,,,,

We never allowed our dogs to roam and have never tolerated those that run thru our place. Dad and mom had 1 that did but only a few times. Usually 1 will stay home, 2 or more you got a pack and packs roam. I think the idea of calling sheriff and DNR to report is good start. Not sure how it stands with dogs after deer. But where I grew-up hurt/kill domestic livestock and you have dead dogs. |
