I assume you live in an area where there are leash laws. Every town has ordinances that regulate animal control. If your neighbor feels it is OK to let his dogs run into your yard he is mistaken. Dogs within town limits are subject to the local ordinances. Even your county has laws that regulate and restrict animals running unrestrained.
Some of us have had very close calls with our little dogs that have been attacked by other unleashed dogs. Some have had pets that were killed by a neighbor's dog. Usually the dog that attacks is a someone's pet that they never thought would hurt anyone. Certain breeds of dogs are just very prone to run after what they consider prey and little Yorkies and other small dogs look like prey to them.
You need to make sure you neighbor understands that you are not going to take the chance of your pet suffering another attack. If he refuses to leash his dogs then he needs to be reported to the local animal control agency. If one report does not work then keep reporting until the fines get too expensive for them to handle. |
