if a strange dog is on my property (crapping) and my dog is in the garden and gets hold of this dog would the ploice get involved or is just like if a dog gets hold of a cat in the garden?

if you ask the police about it, they'll probably tell you which book they could throw at you, but if you read about past cases, you'll generally find they're not interested in ANY dog on dog attacks, especially if it's not 'in a public place'

Keep your gate shut and your fence in good repair

Find out where the dog lives, then go and crap on their garden

you really can't blame a dog for crapping in your garden they don't know any better. i would scoop it up an take it back to the owner.

I would hope you wouldnt be letting your dog 'get hold of' a dog or cat, whether it happens to stray onto your garden or not!

Exactly!

I don't think it would be a police matter, still doesn't make it ok to allow your dog to attack it.

You need to secure your garden and try and find out where the dog is coming from, and have a word with the owners.

The dog could be lost its owners could be out on the streets searching for it,maybe even someone from sf ,they wouldnt be very pleased if you let it get hurt on purpose.
Of course if you know where the dog comes from and it keeps happening go and speak to the owners.

I took some dog poo round to the owners of a dog that dumped it on my garden, they was a little shocked when they opened the door and I was stood there with a shovel full of poo for them, their dog didn't poo in my garden after that.

there are some nasty people on here,sort your garden out ,if a dog can get in ,yours must be able to get out.

on my front garden? Is your fenced off? Why should I have to fence it off for other people who cant control their dogs? I would never dream of letting my dog attack another dog ( he wouldn't want to anyway) I was just curious on the laws. If I do catch the person letting their dog crap on my property i will be wiping it in the owners face.

And then getting a visit from the Police.
