How to deal with dogs if I can't shoot them?

[SpottedCrow]

How do you like your crackheads cooked? Welldone or extra crispy?

I let my son buy an airsoft gun for the express use of moi to shoot the neighbour's GSP who their idea of walking is to open the door and let it out and then an hour or so later to drive the car up and down the street honking the horn until he jumps in...grrr.

I'd try and catch the darned dogs and drop em off at animal control. I commend your temperance in not shooting where you could get a person instead.

I always thought using a paintball gun was a neat solution. Leaves no question about who's dog was where.

I 3rd the solution for an electric fence. It's good for most 4 legged critters and the wandering bi-ped once and a while.

It's a good idea, but can I get an electric fence all
the way around their house int he middle of the night without waking them up? Can I hook it direct up to the power pole? It would be far more effective that way.

Paintball is a great idea.
No more hearing "that ain't my dogs that was in yur yard."

You know what ??? That must be the universal defense statement when a--holes are presented with any type of scenario that involves their dogs

I counted 7, I repeat 7 large dogs going around my neighborhood yesterday.

And, I have asked all my neighbors if any of them were their's......

Stacey did claim her's, but she claims Skipper is WAAAAYYYYY to rambunctious to chain. She gets this vote . . .

I asked one neighbor why the lab I was asking him about looks just like the one his kids lead up and down the road on a leash. His reply..... Golly I think all yellow labs look alike, I am sure it is not my dog......

I think a paint ball gun is a great idea. Maybe I will load it with red balls and blast away. Maybe if the dog comes home with "blood" all over it, the "fear of the chicken lady" will set in !

Is antifreeze or some other kind of well-supervised poison an option? Not for the dogs, for the owners.

Well......you could. I had a client that kept having trouble with his neighbors dog getting in his garbage cans and scattering trash everywhere. One night he figured he would give the dog a shock by wiring his trash can to an electrical cord. A good zap should keep the dog out of the trash. He put down a truck mud flap with a piece on metal screen on it. put the trash can on another pice of rubber on top of that and hooked the can and screen to oposite wires on the cord. Unfortunatly, it did a little more than just give the dog a good zap. Dead dog. Not wanting to explain the dead dog to his neighbor, he laid it out in the street and ran over it with his truck, to make it appear as an unfortunite accident.

this is the best post I have ever read!!!!! I would either go with the paintballl gun or the bb gun

I dont think that you really have to worry about the plastic bb's in the bb gun though. Just use mettal ones and shoot them in the rear......that should be affective and good target practice lol. It wouldnt kill them either

Trap them,after that it's up to you. good luck Will
