my neighbors daughter is on the city counsel and complains about everything and authorities take his side?

dog pepper spray

One morning my kids were going on a group outing and my dog got out. When I awoke I Heard a ruckas in the front yard I opened my door to my neighbor and the police trying to get a dog(not knowing it was my dog). when I realized it was my dog I pleaded with the officer to please let me come out and get the dog for him he would not let me.,and sprayed a whole can of pepper spray in my dogs face. The sergant on duty came to talk to me and said my dog had bit the neighbor and he was going to be put on quarentine for 10 Days . I told him that my dog at 7 years old doesnt have a mean bone in his body and I want to see the bite. He then said that a animal control officer will be getting in touch with me. Well that Monday morning they came to my house to inform me that they were going to deem my dog as visous and I probably would never get him back and if I tried I would have to get a10,000 dollars insuranse policy just to keep the dog and the counsel would decide if it should go to a hea

How to train our small dog not to escape out the front door (and try to attack smaller dogs)?

dog mace

We have a beagle chihuahua mutt that we got from animal control about three years ago. She rarely gets out the front door–maybe once a year. Although I went to training classes with her, she was clearly one of the more difficult dogs, especially because she wanted to search for all the training goodies rather than listen to me or the instructor.

When she has escaped, which happened today, she’s never bitten anyone or anything but she gets aggressive to a group of toy poodles being walked by an older man. We could use advice on how to try to ensure that she just doesn’t get out. Although we are careful to try to stop her, I’m sure it will happen at some point again.

Any suggestions on the best way for her to learn not to go out the front door? The older man said that if our dog gets out, he will spray her with mace. I said that would be understandable and that I wouldn’t blame him. I’m trying to find a way to avoid it, but when our dog spots certain dogs, she’s going to try to get outside and in their faces.

She doesn’t have problems with all dogs, but it’s too unpredictable to know which ones she’ll like and which ones she won’t. Her best friend is a lab across the street that she plays with regularly.

Thanks for your advice.

I live in a townhome complex full of dogs and outside cats. We have issues with fleas year-round and I wonder if there are plants that are not hospitable to fleas? I live in Southern California in USDA Hardiness Zone 9.

Why do we need police?

pepper spray dogs

Federal Courts have ruled on more than one occasion that they are not legally obligated to protect us, so what are police good for?

So if police are not for public protection, what are they doing with tazers, batons, pepper spray, sentinel dogs, Tear gas, surveillance equipment, access to our personal information, handguns, shotguns, military assault rifles, percussion grenades, pain beams (ads), sonic lasers (Lrad), body armor, gas masks, super charged cars, airships, helicopters, armored vehicles, and tanks?

What are they defending?

Why was the Sumner police rude to me on the phone, refused to help me and hung up on me when I called for help

dog pepper spray

My 5 year old was playing in the sprinkler in the back yard. Then 2 big wandering dogs not on leashes were on my yard barking at my son. I went outside when I saw trouble. I grabbed the pepper spray. I went outside. The dogs barked at me. I sprayed pepper spray at the one dog. The other ran off. I called animal control, no answer, left message. They called me back 2 hours later gave me another number that was wrong. I called Sumner police no emergency line when the 2 dogs came back. The Sumner police dispatcher was absolutely refusing to help me. She told me there was nothing I could do to the dogs even on my property and threatening us. That I would be liable. She was very mean and rude. She refused any assistance and hung up on me!!!
We could have been mauled by the dogs and police here absolutely would refuse assistance!!
Could I file a small claim against the pd for refusing to help me when in imminent danger?

Vicious stray dogs everywhere. Animal control does nothing?

pepper spray dogs

I live in a pretty small town and people pretty much fail at taking care of their dogs. Most of them just leave their dogs on their front porch or yard. Whenever I walk by with my dogs, they come charging at me snarling with their hackles up. Usually if I point to where they came from and say "GO HOME!" they will back off, but today was different. A huge dog I have never seen before came running from a house snarling and trying to nip at my dog. I told him to go home and he started snarling at me. I didn’t know what to do so I backed off and went the other way.
I have called animal control so many times and they never show up. They did one time but by the time they got there the owner had already put the dog back in their house so the AC officers didn’t do anything about it.
This is getting so annoying. It’d be nice to be able to walk my dog without having vicious strays come running up to me every time I turn a corner.
My parents won’t let me carry pepper spray or any type of weapon. They tell me to avoid the dogs as best I can. I do try to avoid them and I try to stay away from the streets full of strays, but it seems like they’re everywhere -_-
I’m just worried one day they’ll attack either me or my dogs. Then what?
I don’t know what to do at this point. Keep calling animal control? Carry a knife even tho my parents said no? Stop walking my dog? lol.
Some are strays some aren’t.

What do you think–taking a BB gun on my walk for dogs on the loose?

pepper spray dogs

This has literally been the seventh time I’ve been on a walk and a dog (mostly pit bulls) has ran out of his yard in order to chase me and my dogs. So it’s got to a point where I think I’m going to start taking a BB gun with me for protection. Someone suggested pepper spray but I think there would be a chance to spraying my dog.
I’ve already tried to police, and they just simply said unless the dog has bit someone then they won’t deal with it. And by the time animal control is on the scene (a day later) the dog is secured. So using a BB gun is what I came up with; I’m not going to let myself get bit because someone is being irresponsible. Tell me what you think about this…
Forget cruelty! It’s cruel to have my hand mangled or my throat rip out. Since when did animals preservation take precedence over a humans.
For the people who say no but buy "defensive spray" your talking out both sides of your a$$. It’s bad to use a BB gun to shoot little bbs but it’s okay to spray hot pepper sh!t in its eyes. You’re such a moron, its pathetic.

Need help with dog. Urgent!?

repel dog

My dog chews up our door frame when she gets upset when we leave her when we go out. (I hope that sentence makes sense) We’ve tried scolding her, but in about a week she does it again. We’ve tried Green Apple scent, which supposedly repels dogs. We’ve tride Hot Pepper Tea, and a whole bunch of things. Nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas?
I already know about crating the dog, people, only and idiot would not think of that.

what to do when charged by off-leash dogs while walking my dogs on-leash?

pepper spray dogs

Where I came from, I learned to walk my dog on the leash (unless in an off-leash zone) and to be courteous to other people and dog walkers. Dog owners in my new community like to walk their dogs off-leash, and when asked to leash their dogs, or at least call them away from us, the reply is, "the dogs are fine," or "they’re not hurtin’ anybody." Meanwhile I am usually left scared shitless and now carry pepper spray but not confident about using it and am afraid of these owners potential retaliation towards me or my dogs. One of my dogs has had a hip replacement, and the other dog is only twenty pounds.
I have already stopped walking in many nice trails and now this is happening nearer to my home. Please help, I am completely lost about what to do about this and need some suggestions about what to do or say to people to persuade them to call their dogs.

Will flea and tick shampoo also repel ticks and prevent them from attacking again?

One of my dogs had some ticks on him, so I bought some Tick killer/removal shampoo and killed them, took them off. Will it also repel ticks at all?
