    Can I get some help from someone with careless neighbours who own dogs.

    The best solution for neighbors who won't keep their dogs up is to re-home them or surrender them to the county. Then nobody has to worry about them killing chickens

    My dogs were the same age when I got chickens so it took longer to train them.

    I'm glad to hear they're trying to re-home them and hopefully your dog troubles will be over soon! I adopted a lovable Basset hound 6 years ago from a friend of the family who got rid of him because he couldn't keep him in a fence.He almost hung himself trying to get out of my fence after I got...

    None of them ever worked for my own dogs but because the op repairs this fence regularly I figured I'd throw that out there.We installed a fence for our neighbors dog because he worked all the time out of town.His wife still let the dogs out after we built a fence for them.We invested close to a...

    This went on for 3 years. One was even hit by a car once and hopped around on 3 legs for 5 months

    I hope you can settle this peacefully.Those little dogs will have a hard time adjusting to a new home if they're separated.They're probably bonded at 2 years old

    We offered the same so our neighbors dogs wouldn't keep getting loose but they let them out so we bought kennels and just held the dogs until they come to get them. They waited weeks at a time hoping we'd get tired of feeding them.We didn't. We still have all 4

    Most places forbid an electric fence on any fence between neighbors houses, close to a city sidewalk or any area where children play .Signs have to be posted an above ground electric fence. They'd probably agree to pay for a collar if you bought the "underground" system and installed it

    I agree its time to call animal control. Her roosters have nothing to do with her dog running loose and harassing them

    Its easier to put an electric fence up and ask the neighbor to put a collar on their dog.They already share a fence.

    I don't recommend fighting neighbors because theres nothing worse than having an enemy next door .The county is the proper route to take if they have shelter.I'd buy some treats and catch the dogs myself and take them to them if they refuse to come get them.(edit) Make sure they're on your...

    I recommend installing a poultry fence around the coop and run. They're easy to use and effective.

    A prey driven dog needs a physical fence and electric fence to be deterred. A below ground electric fence won't work on a dog with thick hair unless its neck stays shaven.

    Can I get some help from someone with careless neighbours who own dogs.

    If you don't have a fence around your run there's nothing stopping other predators from harassing your chickens during the day or your coop at night.I had irresponsible neighbor for 3 years but I have a fence around my coop and run both so they never got inside my yard. A couple of times they...

    Can I get some help from someone with careless neighbours who own dogs.

    If you live in a county where the dogs can be trapped and picked up by county officers the same day you catch them I highly recommend this first.Unfortunately you don't have a lot of other 'legal' options available if they refuse to help.All other options can lead to you and your neighbors...

    I was about to recommend a motion activated sprinkler when I read your post. I installed an electric fence last summer after reading a lot of articles and watching videos but it still quit working last fall .Theres a lot more to installing an electric fence than a sprinkler
