Digging Under Fence?

**CathyBogart** · 08-25-2006, 11:55 AM

I have to agree with the general concensus of this thread. If there was a dog getting onto my property that I feared was a danger to myself or my dogs I would report the owner. As you said, it only takes once, one bad owner's untrained dog letting loose with some dog aggression and possibly directing that aggression at you. Best of luck, this is a tough situation.

pit bulls have enough trouble without being blamed for deaths they did not cause.

They woman who was killed by her dog was killed by a Presa Canario. She had numerous incidents with animal control beforehand.

To the OP, I would hotwire the inside of my own fence, and let the n'bor dog get lit up by it a couple times. You could probably take it down after that. Dogs do not like electric wire.

I agree with everyone... nip this in the butt before something bad happens!

Maybe before actually reporting him, "threaten" him. You do not have to do it in a mean way, just tell him nicely if something does not change that you have to call animal control about it.

Some may remember my constant posts about my neighbor's Pit Bull, Buddy, digging under the fence coming to play with my dogs. I wouldn't have mind that he came over besides the fact that he was giving my dogs fleas constantly. I would come home and he'd be sitting at my sliding glass door. He was the sweetest thing, just wanted to be loved and to play, but I had school and my own dogs to take care of. I didn't have time for him everyday.

Anyways, we talked to his owner and since then we have not had problems with him digging under the fence. I'm not sure what they did, as we still see Buddy in the yard a lot, but he has not dug in a LONG time.

I don't know if you guys caught my other post, but here it is http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...50#post1573550. Dallas is fine now, she found a new home too. I actually moved out of my moms place this week, but he had not gotten over for about a week after the incident. Then he got over once, and then another time, and now I guess he's getting over every couple of days. I don't know what my mom is going to do, I keep telling her to call animal control again but she dosen't do anything.

If I was there I would have already called.
