Anyone ever tried tasering a Pit-bull?

3. You'll get caught and the neigbor will do something to your dog or your home - and a war of retaliation will begin.

Tell them of your concerns, ask if they have any objections to you applying something to the top of the "fence" to discourage the dogs from crossing, etc.

That's partly what kept me from as Les Claypool put it..kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat.

Probably nothing worse than having neighbors mad at you and possibly willing to take it out on your Dog or Kids.

I also thought about involving the HOA by asking permission to increase the height of my fence..that should take less than nine months for approval...still pisses me off that I need approval from a private government when I want to make improvements to my own property.

yeah, but how many stories do you hear of pit bulls who are absolutely perfect dogs? Who do nothing except live their life and love their family?

How many stories do you hear of the Rottweilers or Chow who bit someone? Does that mean it doesn't happen? Heck even the Chihuahua is known to not be too fond of children.

Yes, the dogs were bred to fight sadly...but it doesn't mean that all the dogs of that breed have to pay for the wrongs that were done to their ancestors. Dogs are not going to be always violent, but just like how people can instantly snap because of a moment when they feel threatened...dogs can too. And it's up to the owner to train that dog responsibly.

If every single pit bull were a problem, then I might agree with you. But they aren't. Look at owners like that Cesar Milan guy. How many Pits and Rotts does he own?

Treat the dog's behavior individually...not his entire breed.

btw, I don't agree that certain breeds are problematic. Certain owners are.

Thanks BC11. I too have noisy dogs next door and it is especially annoying in the spring time when we like to open the bedroom windows. Totally agree its the owner not the dog. The same can be said for parents and kids. We live in a time when there is far to little discipline enforced. We should remember that a rolled up newspaper and a swat on the backside have done a lot more good than harm.
