[quote=Anonymous]We have quite a bit of land and a neighbor has decided that it's okay for their dog (was one, now two) to run free on our property.  These dogs are large (100 lb+).  When I walk on my property it's common for the dogs to run toward me barking.  It's not their fault--they have no idea where the property lines are.  The neighbors will sometimes call to the dogs (who don't listen) and sometimes not--even when they are outside and I see them watch it happen.

I'm a dog lover and have a fairly large dog but would never consider letting her run free on someone else's property let alone bark at that person.  I've tried speaking to the neighbor and letting them know that it makes me nervous and their response is to say "oh, don't worry, they are friendly."  I don't understand that mindset.  If your dog is on someone else's property and that person is not okay with it you keep your dog on your own property.

I'm thinking I've got two options--calling animal control (which I do not want to do--again, it's not the dog's fault and I'd have to make repeat calls) or put up a fence and I don't think split rail would solve the problem since these dogs have gone through a neighbor's split rail.  Any options I haven't considered?[/quote]
