Our neighbour's dog keeps digging under the fence into our yard to play with our dog. The neighbours don't give their dog much attention and rarely exercise it, so it gets bored and that is why it comes over. The digging is ruining our yard and then the dog rips up our dog's bed, pees all over our patio and digs holes in our yard also. I've spoken to them many times asking them to stop him but they just claim that they can't control him and sometimes they will then leave him on the chain for a couple of days which just makes him bark non stop. Well I've tried putting chicken wire down, tried putting poo into the holes he digs, tried citronella and even resorted to barbed wire. Unfortunately nothing deters him, he just finds a new spot to dig or happily pushes through a poo filled hole to come on over. I'm really at the end of my tether with this, it has been going on so long and they just don't care.
I'm at the point where I'm considering calling the pound to have the dog taken away, but I don't want them to do something to our dog in retaliation or make our living situation uncomfortable.
Advice needed.
