John Aiton Webboard User Reg: 09-23-2005 Posts: 331 Loc: Glasgow, Scotland Offline	Hi All, Does anyone know what the law is if your dog bites someone on your property, both with and without signage displayed? I have found that my dog does not like people coming into our garden that he does not know. This is fine by me but what can I do to prevent accident/incident and what are the costs, legally speaking, in someone being bitten on my land (trespasser for instance). I have a fully enclosed garden where the dog is kept and he is never off leash when not in my garden. Problem is to get to my "Front Door" you have to come through the fence. Any Advice appreciated. Cheers John p.s. I'm already looking for a fence/wall mounted post box and warning signs, so if you know of any good UK suppliers of this that would help also <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ED"S COMMENT THIS IS A QUESTION FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE UK not AMERICA

Problem is to get to my "Front Door" you have to come through the fence. can you cross-fence? that is, put up a section of fence that would effectively keep the dog away from the front door? while you are checking on legalities, you might also want to ask about the impact on your homeowners' insurance! working Mastiff

Feel free to ignore when Ed makes a valid comment, it's your posting privileges at risk.
