Neighbour HATES my dog!

1000 replies

Canecorsomummy · 08/08/2024 19:20

Hi everyone!

I’ve lived in my house for over 9 years now, have owned a poodle cross for 8 of those years. April last year I got a Cane Corso puppy, spoke to this certain neighbour informing her, gave her my number and told her if there was any problems with barking etc, especially if I’m not home, then go please let me know so I can resolve it but she has done nothing but cause me problems ever since.

Last year I was taking rubbish to the bins and the CC followed me out and was being fussed over by my neighbour on the other side of my house. 24 hours later the other neighbour put a computer typed letter through my letterbox stating the car park is not a place to walk a dog, it is illegal for her not to be on a lead and if she sees it happening again she is going to report me for having a out of control dog and her being a dangerous breed!! I sent her a text message explaining the law very basically for her and explaining under no circumstances will she be putting notes through my letterbox over something which could be dealt with by an adult conversation.

Well, since April this year she has made numerous reports to RSPCA claiming I’m neglecting her, abusing her and now a report to Social Services claiming I’m not only neglecting my CC, but she is a dangerous breed and I have a young child in my home!

I have absolutely had enough now!! My back door is normally open 24 hours as I have an enclosed garden but I’m petrified to allow the dog to be able to go in and out at her free will because of this neighbour, petrified I’m going to be approached by rspca/police when I’m out walking her ….

I just don’t know what to do now.

They also had TEN other dogs in that house! To try and compare that to what my issue is is ridiculous

Hysteria at its best on this thread

@Canecorsomummy report her every time she reports you. Get cameras front and back and inside too

Have you not read about the XXL Bully owners killed by their loving dogs this year?

Your dog isn't special just because you own it. It's as likely to kill you.

Again, the dogs had already attacked a child in the home and the owners still kept them! Also that’s not in the UK

What's the difference between a UK and US cane corso??

VeryHappyBunny · 09/08/2024 00:21

There are far more children killed by their parents than are killed by dogs and even more if you include those killed by random strangers. Having said that all dogs are potentially dangerous irrespective of size or breed. Never, ever, ever leave young children and dogs together unattended. The size of a bite is relative to the size of the child. What looks insignificant on a grown man's hand is massive on the hand of a tiny baby. The same goes for any type of injury.

Very often when a dog has bitten a child the adult will say that the child was pulling the dog's tail or poking at it or otherwise tormenting it. The dog has growled as a warning but because the owners are too stupid they haven't separated them and then are "surprised" when the dog has "attacked", usually not an attack, just a nip but on a small child that is significant and can be dangerous.

I have been around all sorts of dogs all of my life, big and small, and the only time I have ever been bitten was by a Jack Russell, it nearly took off the end of my finger. No such problems with Rotties and Staffies and other so called "devil dogs".

There is nearly as much hatred of dogs on here as there is hatred of men.

The cane corso are part of the mastiff group of dogs and are not in themselves any more aggressive than any other dog, but they do need to be properly trained and exercised. Because they are very intelligent they need to be stimulated, through the correct training, to stop them from becoming bored. As with most mastiff types their looks belie their protective nature and a well trained one will guard a child, not harm it.

If people took the trouble to learn about dog breeds (or any other subject) before they become totally hysterical so much of this nonsense could be avoided.

Sadly there are some people who breed all sorts of dogs to be aggressive and the dogs end up the losers.

Banning a breed of dog is not the answer, there needs to be proper laws governing the breeding of puppies, which thanks to covid has got totally out of hand, and large criminal gangs are now making more money from the illegal importation of puppies (with bogus registration and vaccination papers) than they do from drugs and the penalties are nothing in comparison.

If you want to make a difference contact DEFRA about bringing in more stringent laws to make it more difficult for unscrupulous people to traffic puppies into this country from abroad and to make the penalties for doing so much harder. They not only bring in sickly animals for which they charge a fortune, but they can also bring in diseases like rabies for which there is no cure.

@VeryHappyBunny a well reasoned post on a dog thread… whatever are we coming to!

Great post. Ironically I was bitten by a JRT when I was 14 walking home from school, bit through my boot and nasty bite on my skin.

JRT is now one of my favourite breeds, I’ve had a few and dedicate much time to training them. When trained right they are awesome, such little characters and so fun and also loving. My other favourite breed is spaniels 🥰 also owned these and just love them. I also like Staffies but I’m sure I’ll get flamed for that!

Again the one in the UK was also kept with 10 other dogs! That’s asking for trouble and being irresponsible

Can this dog even be controlled on a lead?
"The dna is imbedded into this dog to be aggressive and protective"....
I wouldnt live beside it comfortably No way!
Why do we have such breeds is beyond me.

The CC was never bred to be aggressive!

The fact is, your dog's breed has a record of killing humans. Do not be surprised if your neighbours aren't happy about living next door to an animal which might kill them or their children.

The animals in question fit the definition of 'predator', ergo the animals can be categorised as such.

there is no high level of killings due to a CC, you can find that out for yourself on the gov website.

She doesn’t have any children living with her either so there’s no small children refusing to use her garden because of my dog.
