I am having issues with my neighbors keeping their dogs home. There are tracks all over, I have multiple trail cam pictures of them, seen them in person on my land, had them cited by the dog warden, sent them a certified letter with pictures of their dogs on my land stating it needed to come to an end.
I have finally had it. I have done everything except thinthe dog populationout myself. These people are trash. They have 20+ dogs that are still breeding each other. Seems like new puppies everyday.
Anyone have a clue what I can do to take care of the problem?? I approached the owner and had him quivering and it was all I could do from swatting him. I need some ideas…

Sounds like you have bent over backwards to deal with things. I would dig a very big hole in the middle of my property and start filling it with dogs.

I'm always amazed at folks who suggest using poison. It is indiscriminate and illegal.
The angle I would use would be rabies vaccinations. In Texas you are required by law to have your dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies. From the sounds of it those folks have a bunch of dogs that aren't up on their vaccinations.
Not sure what the penalties are for not complying though.

On February 27, 2003, the Texas Board of Health approved amendments to Texas Administrative Code Ch. 169, Rabies Control and Eradication. The rabies vaccination schedule will still require that dogs and cats be
[ul][*]vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age and[*]be given a booster one year after the initial vaccination. [/ul]
Following these first 2 vaccinations, dog & cats can be vaccinated at either 1-year or 3-year intervals, depending on the type of rabies vaccine used. Local ordinances may have more stringent requirements.

I had a friend with the same problem. The neighbor let their hound run his woods at will. Every time he was on his deer stand the dog would come running by. He did all he could do to ask the owner to keep his dog at home, but he was ignored. So one day, he took things in his own hands and solved the dog problem. His only mistake was he left the evidence where it could be found. As it turned out he ended up in more trouble than it was worth. So if you do decide to thin the dog population, be SURE no one ever knows.
