OSoSwift Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Dog run, heavy gauge mesh, tin roof. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I managed to build this pen that keeps my pet foxes securely contained... and it's been inspected and passed as secure... not really that hard... took me about 4 days on my own... ... and foxes are MUCH better escape artists than dogs!

_PL_ Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Isn't there a certain amount of time before you can rehome a nuisance order dog? I swear I had to wait 6 months to rehome a silky with an order on him. (He would escape his home when his two very large mates would push the palings out so all three were declared nuisance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It would be interesting to see what a veterinary behaviourist could add to this situation...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My council rangers won't come out unless the member of public calling has already contained the dog for them... Same in Vic, and has been the case for many years. It pre-dates OHS concerns. Call-outs were refused because dogs would usually be long-gone when Ranger arrived so considered a waste of time and money (making endless trips for no dogs still there, or uncatchable).

Call-outs were refused because dogs would usually be long-gone when Ranger arrived so considered a waste of time and money (making endless trips for no dogs still there, or uncatchable). Honestly, is a fair point. In over five years of going out to calls of uncontained dogs running loose I've been able to find the dog once. They travel such a long distance in a short amount of time.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 4 grand would buy a very nice secure run with a concrete floor and someone to install it too. I'm surprised that nobody on council has sent him the specifications for a secure dog run. Taller ladders (disguised as fences) are not going to do it for this dog. It would be a brilliant agility dog. Not scared of heights at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) A Dog Pen - or a yoke is cheap and most effective They cant go over under or through. I think they should throw the book at him - no sympathy what ever. Edited September 23, 2016 by Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaznHotAussies Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Yep not a lot of sympathy for him, if my dog had gotten out a few times I'd have already chucked a wobbly & chucked up a proper dog run with concrete & save my garden & street appeal!! Can get a decent run for under $1000 & find free concrete pavers on Gumtree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I am surprised they are not impounded. I would hate mine to be out on the roads and not picked up. Isn't that a rangers job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
