Will spreading vinegar on a black marble wall prevent dogs from peeing on the wall?

My neighbor believes that spreading vinegar on the wall of the building will repel dogs. I have heard other attributes to vinegar but not this. There may be a chance the vinegar will destroy the shine of the marble.

Neighbors dog still keeps coming through fence, cops have been called?

dog mace

4 times in the last 2 weeks the neighbor’s pit bull has come uder, over or THROUGH my fence and gone after my 4 year old. We have called the dog officer and the cops, the cops gave the neighbor the order to reinforce the fence to keep the damn dog in. Yesterday was the last straw. My son was out on the swing and the dog actually went THROUGH the fence after my boy. I was outdoors with him and I sprayed mace in the idiot dogs face and herded my son indoors. The neighbor has no regard for anyone, this dog is a constant issue in the nieghborhood. The cop himself said he has been to the guys house 17 times in the last year for the damn dog. The dog owner knew his dog was through the fence yesterday, but made no move to stop his animal, however when the dog retreated after getting maced, the owner was pissed at me.
My question is, how long must this go on? No fence will keep this dog in, if he can’t dig under it he will jump over it. If it is too high, he sits there and tears it apart untill he is free. Even the dog officer says he has been to court 4 times for this dog, and all the owners get is fines. Is there some sort of civil action I could take? We have spent a fortune in 2 weeks repairing and replacing fence to keep Cujo away from the kids. Not to mention the swingset that cannot be used because whenever the kids are out there Cujo goes berserk and goes after them.

What can I do about my neighbors? They pepper sprayed my cat!?

dog pepper spray

Now I let it go the time I saw their son playing with a bb gun.. and later that day my other cat came home with a bb wound on his side. Then they got a dog (pitbull) and tried to teach her to chase our cats. Lucky for us the dog was too sweet to be taught things like that, and then they lost her.

My cats like to stay in either my yard, or go to the neighbor on the other side cause they give them treats, but mostly they just hang out in the back yard.

But tonight, just now, a cat that I’m watching for a friend came stumbling in covered head to toe in pepper spray! His eyes are swollen shut and now he is really sick. So we took him to the emergency vet… and being it isn’t my cat, and the owner has no money (which is part of the reason I’m watching him).. it extra sucks. This is the sweetest cat ever! He has no claws, so it isn’t like there is any way he could be clawing their stuff! Why would they do that?! If they wanted him off their property or something, try WATER. Talk to us, try something other then flat out animal abuse!

These neighbors have done nothing but be a pain in the butt since they moved in. I keep find guys lurking around the side of my house looking to hop in the window of the girls that live there… one of the girl’s kid (a 2 year old boy) likes to wander into a yard and turn on our water hose. We come home sometimes and find it running with no idea how long it has been on… first time I knew it was him was when I walked over to the nozzle to find the kid standing there playing with it, turning it to full blast. I was planning on hanging on to him till the parents came looking for him, but after an hour of baby sitting, I just took him back, and told them to watch him! They actually had NO idea a 2 year old was missing, and didn’t seem to care he was gone.

I hate to stir up trouble with neighbors, cause I hate conflict, and want to come home to a peacful place, but COME ON! I haven’t done squat to them. If they wanted to get my cat off their property (if he even WAS on their property) water would of worked just fine.. no vet needed.

What should I do about these jerks?

Is stun gun safe to use on dogs!?

pepper spray dogs

Recently I heard some dog attacks in my neighborhood. I walk my dog everyday. I’m really concerned if we run into the pit pull who attacked my neighbor’s dog. Is stun gun safe to use on dogs? I don’t want to hurt them. Just want to scare them away! If it’s safe, how much power does it have to be? My neighber once cleared a whole bottle of pepper spray on a pit bull. The dog gave up in the end, but she was also bleeding. Should I get a stun gun or a taser?
I am only saying 2 of my neighbors recendly were attacked by a lose pit bull. The dog attacked his kid and his Chiuaua. He told me it was pretty bad. I’m just trying to protect my dog and myself. I am fully aware any aggressive dog can attack. I have a broken finger to prove it. I was trying to stop my 2 Shepherd mix from killing each other. I got the worse of it. The reason I’m asking for advice is to avoid future injury. I really don’t know how a stun gun will do to the animal. I just want to buy us a few seconds, so we can run away. If it’s not safe, of course, I’ll not use it on the dog. I have many many cats and dogs. I volunteer at animal rescue. Don’t accuse me of abusing animal! That’s not nice.
The first case, yes, my neighbor knew where the dog lived. Talked to the owner and contact the animal shelter. I believe it ended at a warning. The 2nd case I only heard last week. Don’t know much the details! Though I haven’t seen his 3 Chiuaua since. Hope he’s keeping them inside!

My dog got sprayed by pepperspray by the neighbors what do i do?

dog pepper spray

The neighbors dog is on heat at the moment and since we live on a very big farm we do not keep our dogs chained up 24/7 and our dogs normally go and play with his dog all the time, and they are very good friends. There is no barking, no causing trouble and no fighting. They just chill together and play and run around. Now that the neighbors dog is on heat and hasn’t been spade my dog – a boy lab spends the night there and hangs out there all the time.. Now the neighbor chased him away and took his dog inside. Now obviously he starts barking but instead of calling us he sprays our pore animal with pepper spray

I am really cross about this. And don’t know what to do about it. My dog is not blind, we rinsed it out wel and took him to the vet and there is not really damaged done. But I need some tips on what I should do about this crazy neighbor of mine.
My dog has lost its manhood long time ago it is the female that isn’t spade. Try put a fence around a 3000 hectar farm, I do not have that kind of money…

Neighbor pepper sprayed my dog?

pepper spray dogs

ok so first ill list details that would be considered. i live in a community development. condominiums. dog’s are to be kept on leash. a couple nights ago i was walking to my car and bringing my dog with me. i DID NOT have her on leash because she usually runs to my car and waits to get in. however, this time there was another neighbor nearby walking a german shepherd on a leash. now my dog is a female border collie, very very friendly and pretty. she approaches the guy and still doesn’t show any aggression (no barking or anything) and he takes a cheesy aggressive stance with his legs wide and crouched. i approach to retrieve my dog. he then tells me i better wash my dogs face because he just sprayed her with pepper spray. then he said to go ahead and call the cops to let them know what he had done. those are all the important details. i am very very angered with this individual. i understand the leash law and what it entails however i see no need to spray a dog that causes no harm. my question is what should i do, anything people. revenge ideas? ways to respond? anything i can legally do and get away with. i cant stand the thought of just letting this go by without doing anything

Protection from over aggressive dogs who attacked my dog while I was walking him.?

dog pepper spray

A moronic neighbor walks his 2 boxers without a leash. They attacked my dog and knocked into me while doing so. My dog is big but friendly. He does not get the fighting thing.

What can I do to protect myself. I have one of those small pepper spray things, but it is not going to work against 2 crazed dogs and a creepy dog owner. I yelled like a madman at the dogs and it stopped them, but it is to hard to keep that up.

Urgent! My dog attacks everyone that walks by!?

dog pepper spray

So I recently moved into an apartment and my dog gets plenty of exercise I walk him twice a day. He has been with a training collar for a year seemed fine until I lost the damn remote. It’s just one that vibrates. He behaves fine with it on because he knows I will vibrate him if he doesn’t. Then he figured out it doesn’t vibrate anymore when he does stuff like bark at the neighbors through the sliding glass door so he is going crazy. He attacks the window on my car when people drive by and now he attacks the sliding glass door when neighbors walk by. I was out taking him potty and he is really strong now and I can’t hold him back he will pull me with him. I am completely helpless with restraining him now. He goes after the neighbors when they walk by and will attack other dogs he’s very territorial. He doesn’t attack people he runs up to them nips there leg and runs in the house and gets in his bed. I don’t know what to do. I think he just bit the neighbor but I’m not sure I heard him say something. I want to pepper spray my own dog! He’s terrible!!! I want him to protect me but only when I’m the one getting hurt ya know? I don’t want him to be nice to pet but I don’t want him to mess with everyone. Only if they mess with me ya know?? INFO He’s an australian cattle dog.He’s 4. He’s only like 20+ pounds and he’s extremely strong and very protective. Also on walks he tries to go after people and other dogs and will confront other dogs if they are off leash and not controlled by there owners. Apparently my dogs a tiny lil bully.HELP

What method is the best defense against dog attack and which brands are of best use?

dog repellent spray

I am getting into the habit of jogging in order to lose weight. The problem is a lot of people leave their dogs unleashed in my neighborhood. I know if I cease movement, they will cease chasing me, but this is not always the case. Today I almost got mauled, but I was carrying pepper spray and I used it to avert the canine’s attack successfully. This got me wondering about what other methods for self defense against dog attacks when I go for a jog?

I know there is the ultrasonic repellent. I know there is pepper and OC spray. I also know there is taser. What other methods are out there? Which one is the best or should it be a combination? What should I look for when I shop for dog repellent in order to get the best quality and what a good place to shop?
Also, what ones carry the least amount of legal restrictions in the US?
Rather not use a firearm. Shooting my neighbor’s dog is a sure way to get on their bad side. Plus I rather not hurt the dog chasing me, just have a means to defend myself if I have to with as little harm as possible.
I am not going around "abusing animals".

I go around minding my own business. It is sometimes necessary to defend my self. Hell, I had to do so today, so advice (not harassment) would be appreciated. Thank you.
