Dog legal advice needed?
I live in the UK and have a long term assured tenancy. I have a huge wooded back garden where I keep chickens. At the bottom of my garden is a wire boundary fence, then about 10 metres of woods and then a public footpath.
I have a few laying hens in an enclosed pen. A woman who walks her dogs allows her terrier to come under our wire fence and hassle my chickens.
When I asked her to stop the dog doing this, she said that its a dog and can go where it likes and I should make my wire fence dog proof if I didn't want them in.
I rang the local Police who also said the same thing, I cannot believe that her dog is allowed to run free in my garden and that I am powerless to do anything about it.
We do have an airgun, which we keep the squirrels down with. Can I shoot over the dogs head to scare it off or I am going to be in the wrong? She is rude, obnoxious and not open to reason.
In a legal sense do I have any options open to me?

I would double check the rules locally, surely they have leash laws and for instance if this was a farm then the dog worrying your stock would be open to being shot with out any issue from the police.
I would go IN to the police station and get them to put their opinion in writing that this dog can do it...........think you MIGHT find that they have something else to say at that point.

i can't get a grip on what you assert right here quite! If i'm suitable, you're asking the thanks to quit those 2 muddle sisters from scuffling with? properly i can inform you that when bitches settle on to wrestle, and this is always worse with muddle sisters because there is this dominance component happening, this is always significantly better severe than at the same time as men wrestle. someone once stated bitches wrestle to live on, and men wrestle for a b itch. Hum. In all truth, i can't see your females residing with muzzles on for his or her finished lives. And if this has began, i imagine there is each and every probability of this really getting worse. so that you may want to correctly be searching at rehome one of those women except they could stay on your set up, being separated each and each and every of the time. can't see this operating. As for something else, are you saying you favor to take a muddle from each and each and every of those females and then have them spayed? if so, given their feisty natures, i imagine i'd ought to ask even if you quite favor to chance passing this temperament on? And undergo in options, this is an old better halves tale that each and each and every b itch needs to have a muddle before being spayed. truer is the actual undeniable truth that the better seasons a b itch has before being spayed, the better the danger is of her coming up mammary/uterine maximum cancers in later existence. So, rehome one, and get them spayed might want to be my, probable unwelcome, suggestion. you may want to get them both spayed, and observe even if the scuffling with situation improves first?
