The dog sat outside staring at the door growling for about 6 hours until 4am. The next day he foned the rspca to be told its an illefal breed (no ****) and it was a police matter. Foned the pigs and they said its not there problem lol ******. So my mate who lives near a school said ill wait till 3.15 and ill loose him out the garden then. Within the hour the police and rspca along with an actual vet had to tranq dart the dog twice over the back fence befote they cud get close enuff to put it too sleep.

So i vote eithet number 1: lur it into your yard and with a direct hit to the head with a house brick and stick his body in the road. Or number :2 throw the dog in the boot of your car and drive 50 mile to an animal shelter and say he was tied to a lampost outside a shop.

If you go for number 1 tell your mrs it was number 2

The problem is, he is a nice dog and just wants company. I will not take it out on the dog. He is lonely. It's the old gangsta wanna be, who needs taking out, for leaving his dog alone all day.
If I am hanging the washing out, the dog hangs over the fence, whining.
But, my sanity and that of my kids is at the end of the tether, regarding visitors and noise. The dog knows no better. I have no idea how to handle this, for the best outcome for the dog and visitors. I care not about the neighbour, he can swing.

That way you get to know it better and can start some basic training

I know its not ideal, bit may be the best solution long term.

Not really on, is it. He should move the dog house, so the dog cannot see what is happening on our properties. Problem solved. If he can't see, he can't bark or tower over delivery people and visitors.
