How to dispose of annoying dogs

SSS sounds like a good idea. Especially since Animal Control has already been contacted several times without results, and the owner doesn't seem to care. Just remember that the third "S" is very important here. If the owner comes looking for them in a few days you can honestly say that you haven't seen them for awhile. Got someplace out of the way where you can bury them?

Would you suggest that the OP pursue them down the street with a gun?
The story here is that two dogs got loose, tried to come under a gate, the owner yelled at them and they ran away, owner called the police. Dogs were long gone and didn't come back. One time before this they jumped up on someone.
I am a dog breeder and I know that my dogs would be legally shot if they went INTO someone's property and were in the process of menacing or killing livestock. I have no ethical issue with SSS if it's legal and needed. NOTHING about the above situation would have merited legal OR ethical SSS. This is a leash law violation, if there's a leash law in his town.

I agree with this.

My husband retired Telephone man had to deal with dogs all the time they were given just plain pepper spray to use the same as mail people. I use to live in a pretty large neighbor hood where there were always dogs out running loose, he gave me some of that spray worked real good.

No, I would suggest that the OP shoot them while they're trying to dig under the gate and growling at her. They jumped up on an ELDERLY WOMAN WITH A WALKER. My MIL is a 90-year old elderly woman and uses a walker. She has osteoporosis. Being knocked over by two large dogs would very likely land her in the nursing home with broken hips and who knows what else. I'm not anti-dog. I love dogs. I have a dog. If my dog were growling at someone on their own property, I would expect no less that for that person to get rid of him. That is threatening behavior. You get two of them and they egg each other on. It wouldn't take much for things to become dangerous. They have been on OP's property before and attacked a bird. The behavior will continue as the dogs' owner doesn't seem to keen on keeping them home, so I'm guessing the owner will not be training them to not jump on elderly people or kill birds, either.

I sure hope my dog doesn't walk down your street.
If it is on your property - fine. Because it is at your gate does not constitute a threat. You also can't go all vigilante shooting people's dogs because you heard they jumped on someone.
amazing

just a suggestion, Wasp spray is not lethal and can cause serious harm. fine if you want to shoot them then do so, pepper spray is temporary and does not cause lasting pain and misery. Spraying them in the face with wasp spray and leaving them to suffer is inhumane. Please dont inflict cruel and miserable pain on an animal that will go untreated. Apparently the owner doesnt really care and probably would not take them to a vet. not knowing their eyes were chemically burning out of their head...either make it swift and humane or send them packing with a painful reminder that will not cause them misery the rest of their lives.
If they were on the outside of my fence, I would run them off. If they were on the inside.....POW!
