Great horned owl and small dog?

[Anonymous]

I have a great horned owl that is circling my property when my 19lbs dog is outside. How do I get rid of the owl? What can I do to protect my dog? Please help!

Keep your dog inside for a few days. There is nothing you can do about the owl, but you can control your dog. Only go outside with the dog on a leash when you or someone else is with him.

I can't keep my dog inside forever. Any way to get rid of the owl? Dog will always be small btw--it's a terrier.

You CAN take your dog outside. You just have to keep him on a LEASH.

NP. Well that's a joke. Most people use their backyards for some exercise. Going out to pee/poop on a leash forever is not sustainable.

Look up “Scare Tape” on amazon. It’s made for exactly these types of situations.

Thank you! This is OP and it's a new dog and never had horned owl around before. I am terrified my dog is going to get attacked by this owl b/c of their increased presence on our property.

This is PP
I should have said scare tape will work if you have lights you can keep on outside

Look for a strobe light collar.

NP so what about people who don't have a backyard? What do you think they do?

Your dog is about 15lbs too big to be of concern as prey to a Great Horned. He’ll be fine.

If you have a jerk owl, use bright lights, noise makers, and the like to irritate them. But don’t complain later that you have mice, rates, and voles, because those are who he’s after. He could GAF about your ginormous dog.

Well, I live in a condo with no backyard so I am very familiar with what we do. Doesn't mean if I DID have a backyard I would be cool with basically not being able to use it freely.

You can get a vest that will not allow the owl to abscond with the dog.

However, I do think your dog is likely too big for the owl to fly away with...
