So I’d like to start by saying my boy is very friendly and seemingly doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body… but I suppose I’m thinking proactively here as possible. My issue is that my neighbors have a pair of golden doodles who don’t display the most friendly behavior. To make matters worse they have been digging holes under our border fence and poking their heads under to bark and grow at my dog. Although my boy simply ignores them and is always very friendly towards other dogs, I’m not naïve enough to be aware that he could MAYBE retaliate if the dogs ever broke into my backyard acting crazy. My major concern is that my boy would potentially get into trouble legally if he were to do something that he felt was appropriate in defense. I’m curious how others would view this legally speaking and what measures you would take? Also, I’ve mentioned the holes to them and they have not been keeping up with it.
