I'd call both animal control and Community Watch every time I saw the dog wandering with no owner in view. As I said, the dog is in true danger from wildlife. While this isn't as much of an issue while a neighborhood is being developed, it is very much so once it has quieted down and critters return. These people are lazy idjits IMO.

Sadly the type of neighbor you have will only respond to one thing, money or lack there of. He or she will not change till this dog costs them money. Call animal control and inform them this is an ongoing problem. They will, at some point, fine the neighbor. Then, and only then, will the message be received.
Also, if you’re around when the dog is on your property, take a video. Would not surprise me one bit if neighbor says it’s not their dog. |

Maybe you could rub the owners nose in it.

Call Animal Control. Please don't hurt the dog. (I don't think OP would, by the way.)

I think I would tell the neighbor you've seen some rats running through your yard and advise them that you are starting to spread rat poison around.

We also have "rules" about lawn ornaments. I know a number of people who have received a letter about removing their lawn ornaments. The owners haven't removed them and nothing further has been done.

I have a question... we have a dog that is very well trained. We let him out in our backyard to "do his business." We are out there with him. We do not allow him to go in the neighbor's yard. If we take him anywhere outside of our yard he is on a leash. (We don't let him do his business in anyone's yard. Plus we always clean up after him.) Is the covenant that our dog has to be on a leash even on our property... and even if we're with him?

Leash Law
Quote:
To be absolutely sure, please contact Sumter County Animal Services for their definition. I'm not exactly sure how the electric fence plays into this rule either. Your question now has me thinking so I will be contacting Sumter County as well for clarification. |

What are the leash laws in Sumter County? County Code 4-10 states that all dogs must be confined on owners property at all times or under direct control or on a leash when off the owners property. Otherwise, a citation will be issued for the animal running free. Based on this information.... I can have my dog off-leash if he is on my property. Once I'm off- property, the dog has to be on a leash. |

From our Declaration of Restrictions, Section 2 Use of Property: "2.16 Only one dog may be kept by any Owner; provided, however, that at all times said animal, when not within the confines of the Home, shall be restrained by a leash."
