This neighbor is the guy we bought our house from. He's a nice guy. Well he brought home about a 3 weeks ago a jack russell pup and the dog has been jumping his 4 foot chain link fence. He leaves her in the yard all day long in the heat tied to a large shade tree. I'm considerably worried about the dog as he wonders why she poo's in the house and gets after her. I've tried to convince him to Crate the dog but he thinks it's mean. The pup is only 6 months old and she's a great dog. She does keep jumping over the fence though.
Just venting here I like the dog as she always ends up at our place when she gets loose.

Is she being tied with a rope and chewing it? How is she jumping the fence if she is tied? Chaining/tying a dog is cruel and dangerous but the chances of convincing this "nice" guy is probably slim to none.

You could always leave a anonymous call to animal control It is cruel. I don't understand why a person wants a dog if they won't take care of them properly.

I would be really irritated if someone called animal control on me because they saw my dog tied. This is a different situation I am sure but just because a person ties a dog out does not mean they are cruel. My dogs much prefer to be tied than siting in a small crate. This does not mean I tie them all the time and that I think a crate is cruel, cause I don't. It is not always practical to have a fenced yard or be with your dog 24/7. Congrats to those that do have the time/yard. But it is not cruel, there are safe ways to use a tie out. IMHO

You right, I sure you don't leave your dog unattended on a tie out

How is she jumping the fence if she is tied?
That was my first question too. I will assume the dog is being tied up to prevent her from jumping the fence. I have a similar situation with my neighbors dog, minus the fence. It is being tied up for it's own safety. Not that I condone it, but otherwise the dog would be out playing on the street.

If the dog is jumping the fence and ending up in other people's yards, calling Animal Control is perfectly appropriate.
Tying an animal out alone - is in my opinion, VERY dangerous. They could easily be stolen, are completely vulnerable to attack by other lose dogs and are at a distinct disadvantage if attacked, and secondly, if near a fence or other large objects, they can easily get tangled/jump over and hang themselves. (Good friend of mine came home to find her beagle strangled, hanging over the fence - he was tied to a nearby tree...)
If you are outside with the dog and just need to keep them from wandering off, I think having them tied NEAR you is perfectly fine. If they are being left alone while people are at work, pre-occupied in the house, etc... IN MY OPINION, it is a potentially dangerous situation.

I agree with Barbara.
I use tie outs sometimes. On a pretty Saturday when I'm cooking out or working in the yard, I'll put my foster on one near me. I'll also anchor my X pen in the yard for my pup so he can be with us when we are outside. But I never suggest them to anyone because I don't think most people use them this way.
To use one in place of excercise, interaction and house training ect. is cruel IMO. There's just really no need for a dog to be outside alone for extended periods. As far as when I'm not home, my dogs have always been happy to go into their crates when I'm getting ready to leave.(KONG TIME!)
If you've tried to talk to him kindly with no results, I would make a call.

The fact that this dog ends up at your house is scary. When your dog gets full grown, you have no guarantee that it won't harm the little intruder. Any animal, dog or otherwise, that wanders into our yard is considered prey unless I am there to call it off or make her "leave it".
