Glad you called and reported the whacko neighbors, people who let dogs roam seem to always believe it is their dog's right to do so, my neighbor seems to feel his dogs have more right to annoy others than human property owners have to enjoy their home. He came over and got in my face one time...

I believe that is true, but I think it is also because good neighbors don't generally have problems with dogs as they are inclined to make sure they stay put. Granted there is an occasional accident where the dog gets loose and goes for a run, that is far different from an everyday problem. I...

Hopefully this is solved before you lose any animals or have vet bills to contend with, maybe if that does happen your parents will see the seriousness of the situation and be more inclined to speak up for you. You are doing good to look into this and as far as I am concerned could use some...

I believe the first step to being a good neighbor is keeping your mutts on your own property and not letting them continually harass other's pets and livestock, tear up garbage, stand in front of their house and bark all night, crap in their yard etc. Most people who allow animals to do this in...

Laws and rights are brought up because people who let dogs roam are violating the law and the rights of others, and usually it takes the law to remedy the situation. I am sure the neighbor knows there are chickens and other livestock around and if they had common sense they would wonder if...

unless your animal shelter is run by your town or county's animal control office they may not be of much help. In my area we have to "make a donation" to drop off a dog at the shelter and they will not come out and capture dogs, they may be able to give you a suggestion on how to proceed but...

This is true if your town has a constable, mine does not, depends on your township.

This is good advice as well, but if your parent's don't want to get involved and leave it up to you the Sheriff's Dept or any other law enforcement agency is required to investigate complaints regardless of whether they come from a child or adult, complaints can be called in anonymously and they...

Don't do anything to get yourself in trouble with your parents or the law, see what the laws are first and see if you even have an animal control officer in your area, I am not talking about the person running the local humane society, they aren't dog catchers, it would be an actual county or...

Read my last post, I would start with the Sheriff's Dept. Many times animal control officers won't do anything about roaming dogs, especially if you are in a rural township where the town board just appoints a good old boy as animal control officer, they often just do it so they can make a few...

I wouldn't touch the dogs you could be bitten, as for the pictures or video just take them and keep them on your computer or whatever way you store them, make note of the date and time the picture was taken, I don't know how your area works, in my area our township doesn't have an animal control...

When the dogs are loose call the sheriff's department and report them for harassing your livestock, tell them the name or address of the dog owner and that this is a daily problem and explain how she lets the dogs loose and leaves them to terrorize your animals. Tell the authorities if this...
