    Neighbour attracting foxes

    Thanks! In the big .pdf, I do think you are reading or interpreting part of it wrong. A dog or cat that BITES a person is confined and observed for 10 days (page 18 of the .pdf, but the page says 17 at the bottom of it.) If the animal shows no signs of rabies, the manual does not call for...

    Neighbour attracting foxes

    Do you have a link to the law that requires that? I have seen other states require a 6-month quarantine for a dog exposed to rabies (because rabies has a very long incubation period, and it takes that long to know if the dog actually got rabies.) And I have seen 10-day quarantines for a dog...

    Huh? You said the problem is when the dog goes on the neighbor's property. So I talked about one way to keep the dog OFF the neighbor's property. Isn't that what you were asking for, suggestions to avoid the problem?

    Neighbour attracting foxes

    It sounds like keeping your dog on your own property would solve the problem. Can you put up a fence at the property line, and teach your dog not to cross it? The bigger and stronger the dog, the harder it is to make a dog-proof fence. If you can teach your dog to respect the fence, even when...
