Neighbour dogs roaming the Moobaan.

[Travel2003]

Have an issue in Khon Kaen with a neighbor's dogs, 4 of them, roaming the neighborhood and being aggressive.

Some of this Englishman's dogs have already bitten people, and have settled with 500 Baht.

Normally this is people who work to sweep the 3 short streets within the gated community.

The dogs are aggressive and act like they now own the entire Moobaan, because the Thai residents have the standard "Maipen Fkkking Rai" attitude, until they get bit.

If they get bit, they will then talk to the owners, and get a few Thai Bhat.

The Englishman is not home for the moment and his Thai gf/wife, doesn't give a hoot.

What to do?

Give them dog treats but spike them with tramal, Xanex or 1/2 dormicum. Won't kill or hurt them but they are probably sleepy for a few days...

Aggressive dogs belong in the owners property not on public roads, where also children play!!

Other option is call tesabaan to sort it out.

So, aggressive neighbor dogs, is actually my problem.

Anything from the Non-Dog crazy?

My guess is even if anyone harmed the dogs or they got run over by a truck the man wouldn`t care.

The only time neighbours will kick up a fuss is if the dogs attack a child or really do some serious harm to somebody. What breeds of dogs are they? Small, medium or large dogs?

[Travel2003]

1 small, 2 medium, and 1 big.

A bit worried that some members suggest that I bribe the dogs to let me walk non-harassed in my own street.

If this situation is really getting you down then I can only suggest two things. If the English guy is smaller than you are, then go and have some strong words with him and if he`s rarely on the scene then harass his wife, girlfriend until you can get to talk with him face to face. If you think you`re not able to take him on, then confront him with some mates if you have any and make it clear that unless he starts controlling his dogs he is going to have problems.

This is how these types of problems are sorted in Thailand because the police won`t be interested unless the dogs cause serious harm, otherwise I can`t think of any other ways. Also be prepared that if the dogs do bite and people complain the guy and his wife will just say, the dogs don`t belong to them they are only strays that hang around the place, that`s one of the favourite excuses and that is what he may say to you if confronted. So be prepared for that.

Any aggressive stray dog that is near my house is entitled to preferential treatment.

It is true that distractions are rare in the ban.

The problem is that they understand the nature of the danger and carefully avoid my place now. And I'm bored again...

[Pomthai]

How about just waiting until the owner is home and poping over and having a civilized chat about your concerns?

At the very least try this before all the OTT responses in this thread.

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of people aren't going out of their way to be <deleted> and he might even apologise and keep his gate closed in future.

Certainly worth a try.

[revgreen]

Buy some pepper spray? If they attack you spray them?

[happynthailand]

cap gun=10tb

cap's = 5tb for 10 cap rings

The majority of owners I believe already know about their dogs -- they just don't care that their dogs have a negative effect on anybody else.

This is correct. It has been discussed in the Mobaan meeting.

However, the Thai residents never want to make any fuzz, or scene, until it is too late, and someone has been seriously harmed.

I'm sure this works, however some folks just don't have time to wait with a slingshot for some soidogs.

And be careful, some Thais are always watching!

Only have this type of situation arise once in our area (Mueang Kalasin), and Thai neighbor handled it and told us about it afterwards... The lady was bit by one of the 2 offending dogs, not bad but enough to leave a mark... She reported it to the Police, who visited the owners, fined them 500 baht per dog, made them pay the medical charges for the bitten individual to obtain treatment, and required that both dogs wear Mussels at all time when not on the owners property for at least one year, with the warning that if either were caught of reported off their property with said restraining devices they would be fined 1,000 baht per dog and the dogs "removed" permanently...

After about two months the dogs seem to have "Left the Building" so to speak...

There are new laws now to protect animals from cruelty..

These laws seem to be enforced more than laws for driving offences and even murder !!

​ Don't waste your money on these things as they only work on some dogs and partially at best. With others they actually get worse.

Been looking for weed killer, not for dogs, hard to find

[Moonsterk]

People who cannot be responsible for their animals, and allow them to bother neighbors should lose them.

Dogs that bite anyone should be removed from any contact with humans-unfortunately it is difficult to procure the correct drugs to do this humanely.

Here's what I would do.

In no way alert the owners you are annoyed- let someone else do that.

Lure the dogs into confined spaces such as a good sturdy plastic trashcan with a tight fitting lid when you think you won't be detected or any barking might be heard.

load them up in your car and take them about 15 miles away, preferably where they won't bother anyone else and let them loose.

Try to find a place where you can sort of dump them out on an incline away from you as they may bite coming out.

Do not use any sort of weapon on them, no matter how tempting it might be for one it's illegal and can be a 20,000 baht fine and 2 years in jail- yes more than running over a pedestrian in your car.

If the owner hears about it- and they will, you will have bigger problems and those you cannot load up and drive away -well you can but it's really really illegal.

I'd give'm a treat, lead.....

[Travel2003]

Lot of interesting options here.

Thnx for replies.

[alofthailand]

No need for extreme chemical solutions - A normal dose of paracetamol will cause serious liver toxicity problems for dogs. But I feel you could pay the police to sort it out. The owner is not Thai and not in the right.

OK, I'll bite. What's wrong with carrying a stick? I have often found it to be an effective way to avoid actually harming a dog. Wave the stick, no problem, dogs stay away.

Did you forget to suggest, "lie down and expose your throat"?
