To think my neighbour is a prick? Dog related.

Moved into a new house a month ago. Big deal as been saving for many years and managed to get a bargain in a small town a short commute from London.

Anyway- the issue. I have two Rottweilers. Both very friendly, loving and well trained. Never had any issue with them.

Neighbour has three terrier type dogs. Her fence (it is hers at her own admission) is damaged to the right hand side of our garden- and her dogs are constantly coming into ours. Asked politely many times for them to repair the fence and even offered to pay and they aren't having any of it.

I crate the dogs outside during the day for a few hours while I'm working or if my cleaner is here as she isn't a fan of big dogs. Neighbours dogs will come in to our garden at yap at the crate, yap at them if they are in the patio door from the kitchen to the garden and foul in our garden. They will also chase our cat who fortunately is like lightning and gets on OK with our two- or more they just keep out of each others way.

Anyway neighbour has gone away this weekend. Someone came round to feed the dogs last night but they left them outside which meant I had to put up with them hacking in my own garden all night, yet again had to pick up another persons dogs shit and they have dug up some of the flower borders I worked on all day yesterday Angry

AIBU to call dog warden and say I've found the little shits abandoned somewhere and bill my neighbour for the damage to my garden?

Cancel the cheque

Put up your own fence. Your neighbours are twats and if one of their dogs gets eaten it won't go well for the Rottweiler owner.
As for the fog shit? Chuck it back on their side.
I don't like the sound of you crating your Rottweilers though. I have two and we have put up a large shed with a big run on the front so they can go out for a few hours during the day.

It sounds like the op is an experienced large dog owner. I wouldn't be questioning her judgement.

Fifthattemptatusername · 02/04/2017 18:45

I think your neighbour is legally responsible for keeping her dogs under control so by not fixing her fence she is actually breaking the law. The same could be said for op though if her dogs are going into ndn garden. www.gardenlaw.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19666 Sorry but don't know how to do links properly.

I don't like this either. A run would be much better.

AmayaBuzzbee · 02/04/2017 18:55

Let your dogs have a run around and do their business in your neighbours' garden as often as possible. If they complain, just suggest they should fix their fence. I'd bet it wouldn't take too long!

Omg op cancel the damn cheque!

SheRaaarghPrincessOfPower · 02/04/2017 21:10

A joke? Oh right.

The cancel the cheque thing is getting really annoying though..

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 02/04/2017 21:13

Frankly it's embarrassing most of the time now.

Patchouli666 · 02/04/2017 22:24

RSPCA won't do anything. Their terms of neglect are no access to food or water. If those needs are met, the animals are OK. 😡

tabulahrasa · 02/04/2017 22:28

That's not true, there's shelter as well and they're outside.

But more importantly they're not actually safe, if they can get out of their garden, if anyone leaves a gate open in the OP's garden they'll be just loose.
