He doesn't have to bite him, just put a hole in him with an ice-pick or something (phillips screwdriver?).

It's either or, my friend. If the dog is capable of jumping the fence and your wife happens to walk out in the back yard, it's either the dog or your wife. You shouldn't have to be unduly burdened with building a higher fence. If they want to build a fence of sufficient length so that the dog cannot jump over, then that's what you'll have to convince them of.

That kind of dog is a menace. It needs to be put down. I wouldn't care what my neighbors thought because if they have a dog like that we wouldn't get along anyway. If I had been bit by this dog it would already be dead.

Get some mace and the next time he charges open up on him...he won't be biting you again I bet.

Just do the taller fence thing.

You might try what the mailman, meter reader and others do: Occaisonally give the dog a treat (dog biscuit) when you pass by him. If he's a normal dog he'll soon just take the treat and go eat it instead of barking at you. He'll also likely look forward to your passing by.

It ain't that hard to "outsmart" a dog. However, they are very good at sensing when you are nervous around them. If you can manage to project confidence it is highly unlikely the dog will bite.

H@ll, I've seen "tough" cats stare down and stop charging Shepards.

Goodluck with it,

Fern

Greetings all good friends!

I see many good ideas here for the solution of a very serious problem. I have idea, and would like to share this if is ok, ok?

My neighbor Dimitri, from Kiev had many problems with his dog. We just were making discussion about this neighbor in another posting conversation about the dog who has difficulty expelling the feces from the anus. Dimitri had large dog that ate too much meat sometimes from the butcher (scraps I think) and had problems passing the hard lump pellets. This dog of Dimitri also make an agressive posture towards the neighbor community of our building.

Finally, my grandmother who came down to visit from Pripyat, she speak Dimitri, "Dimitri, you must make a narrow potato to put in the rear passage of the dog." She speak also, "Dimitri, you must make potato warm with hands and then coat with oil." This dog had much agression from failure to evacuate the bowel properly and from hardness a great difficulty. With cabbage diet and warm oily potatoe in the rear passage, this dog all better, and very friendly when we (my sister and I) encounter him in the stairwell.

This can help ok?

Trust Vladimir.

Hello all good friends!
??? ??????? ??????!

LOL

lmao

Ive grown up with dogs, and I've seen aggressive dogs and know the whole "nervous" issue. I've never been afraid of this dog, Ive seen him since a puppy and figured he was just a barker, tons of dogs are all bark and no bite. Do you think I would have squeezed by the fence that close if I was super nervous? That would have just been stupid :)

Give the dog some donuts on occasion, and talk to it. let it get to know you and it will stop aggressive behavior toward you. If it tries to reach over the fence, tell it to get down. Do not show fear.

It's still liquidy in the middle. Maybe you could cauterize it with a hot poker.

that was right after i washed it out and doused it in hydrogen peroxide. i could let it scab over but the skin seems to be healing over quicker? hrm

I would put Neosporin or generic "triple antibiotic ointment" on it. It is incredible stuff. Personally I would put the ointment on under a bandage during the day, then leave it exposed to the air when you sleep so it gets oxigen. That's what I usually do with bad cuts and it works good. I also had a really bad blister under a blister last year (one of those deep ones). I waded in a stagnant pool not knowing they had popped and a day later the thing (and about 2 inches around) was angry red almost purple. It looked BAD. Rather than go to the hospital (the correct thing to do), I cut all the blistered skin off, soaked in peroxide, then with that brown-orange stuff, then but a lot of Neosporin on it. I cleaned twice a day recovering in Neosporin, leaving uncovered at night after the second day, and within a few days I was right as rain. Within a week I was running on it. If you had seen at at its worst you would have said, "they will have to take the foot..."

He gotchya pretty good.

I'd request that they chain him until they can build a taller fence.

Electric dog fence sounds good. Although, you better keep a backup power supply...just in case. ;)

You should tell your neighbor that in retaliation of their dog biting you, you should be allowed to take a bite of their daughter.

who cares how close to the fence he was. IT IS HIS PROPERTY!
While I agree the dog shouldn't have bitten you, it seems as though it was a misunderstanding. The dog was probably very territorial and felt you were threatening him. Nevertheless, you want to make sure that steps are taken to protect your family as well as the dog.

yes protect your family. tell the person his dog bite you. also tell animal control. it might be on file that the dog bite someone else. if so it NEEDS to be put down.
Maybe, if you are on good terms with the neighbor, you could offer to help them install a higher fence some weekend? This could be advantageous to you as well, if you're interested in fencing your yard in, you might be able to get matching fence. Everyone would benefit - you would enjoy the added safety and your neighbors would save a considerable amount of money by doing the project themselves.

help build or pay for it? are you nuts? the owner of the dog is 100% responbsible. he should eat the cost and time
Either way I would just bring it up casually (ie don't all out confront them about it). The last thing you want is to offend them, which would make it really hard to get a taller fence installed by them willingly.



offend them? yeap you are nuts.

who cares if you offend them! if they do not want to build a taller fence sue them. they have to take steps to make sure the animal does not harm other people. If they want to allow the dog outside they need to keep him chained up or build a taller fence. Or animal control will come have the dog put down.

really its not a choice. odds are if it has bitten you it will bite someone else. God forbid its a child.
