I really don't think an invisisble fence can stop an aggresive dog. My friend's sister has a chow mix (who incidentally bit my daughter)who jumped through and stood outside the "fence" refusing to come back. And your case it sounds like they went back in maybe the shock didn't effect them. But if a dog wants a piece of another dog is there really a jolt short of a taser, that will confine it? I've seen wooden fences with a hot wire around run through similiar to what they use for horses. That's an actual shock though.
Never had a problem with the new neighbors dogs until today. They are on invisible fence collars. No dog containment laws here, so they don't even have to do that.
I'll take this to mean that their dogs are important to them and they are responsible....the electric fence companies do a great job marketing their product and lots of people like them; so your neighbors may appreciate your letting them know about the incident.
You're right to let the adrenaline subside. I'm really happy you and Turbo are fine! And your neighbors are unaware of what happened, so IMO best to tread softly in your approach; no hard feelings or awkwardness that way if they turn out to be responsible and cooperative. Of course if they become combative you should emphasize the local ordinances and their legal responsibilities when a dog attacks. Then let the adrenaline flow and open up a can of woop ass on them
Good luck and make sure you include a link to that holiday family picture after all I don't think anyone here has taken a bite out of Turbo......but one never knows.
You're right, Sheila. They do care for their dogs and by neighborhood standards are responsible. Most do nothing for containment.
I'm going to be sure to let them know that I'm confident this can be resolved since I know how much they care for their dogs. That way maybe they will want to continue to be seen in such high regard. Even if they are lazy and irresponsible, that might get into their heads and convince them to do better.
Power of suggestion, I guess.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, right?
I thought they had some sense, but here is an example of what I'm dealing with.
The wife took one of the dogs, not even the one that attacked, and drug it by the collar across the fence until it got shocked to show me that it should keep the dogs in.
From my experience, people like that don't see what the problem is because, "it's a dog, it eats its own s(*%, what do you expect?". That's a real quote from someone I used to know. Are you going to try calling AC?
I'm really glad you and Turbo are okay, and you are to be commended for being able to maintain a cool head and thinking it through before speaking with the neighbors... I'm not sure I could have been so rational.
