Animal control is on its way...Update post 73...

[Germaine_11.20]

The collars are very expensive and work well, unless the dog is smart enough to figure out how to get it off (when it was well and tightly latched) and then chew it up.

That's what mine did. I think I am going to try beating her with the dead chicken and tying it to her collar!

I wonder if this would get the dog to at least stop in his tracks and wonder what the heck is up.

But is really shouldn't be on you to invest in such a device.

My husband did that with his old dog. He used to raise Pheasants and after a year or more of being fine with them (lab/german short-hair) Sydney killed one. DH did the tie it on until it rots and it worked, never had another problem. I don't know if it would work on every dog, but if the neighbor is willing and you don't want to take more direct means it might be worth a try.

Get a gun of your own with a good scope.


.22-250 Rifle

Reach out and touch them!!

I've went through the shoot the dog routine but when their dog comes up gone the owners often just get another. Then since "something" got the other one the next one is usually larger, meaner and can do more damage in a shorter amount of time.

Oh boy... I don't think I could tie a dead chicken to my dogs collar

Plus, my little dog would simply eat it anyway

When we got the husky that was terrorizing the neighborhood, I knew it was going to be a challenge. She had been left to her own devices for the first year and a half of her life. Meals were what she could catch and kill on her own. She lives inside with us, our 3 other dogs, and our pig. One of the first things I did was teach her about the shock collar. Our coop is inside the fenced yard, so when the dogs go out, they can go over and look at the chickens. Dixie went over and pawed at the door. On went the collar. She pawed at the door again, ZAP went the collar, off went the dog. She now stays at least 3 feet from the coop - heck, that thing is electrified!! My horses chase our dogs with intent to harm, so no worries there, but we also had to teach them about goats being off limits. Same thing for Dixie - Goats are ELECTRIFIED!!!! She never knew that before barking and pawing at one of them

I really hope you can get this dog problem... Or should I say person problem, solved before any more casualties!!

Has he offered you any kind of compensation?
He sounds like a real aks to me anyway. He probably goes home and laughs at the whole thing. Him and his beer guzzling mutt.

Like 19hhbelgian said the bird around the neck doesn't always work. One time we went to the neighbors to have dinner, came back and all but two of our chickens were killed by our two dogs. So we tied the birds around their necks, it worked on Fritz, but Mable ate hers and chased Fritz for his. Anyways, just thought you should know. Good luck!
