There is a limit to how much control I can exercise over the dog - I certainly don't encourage her to shit in their garden and, if I happen to see her in their garden then I remove her, but preventing her from getting through the fence would require keeping her locked in the house or constantly under supervision. I wasn't really looking for a bully-boy option, but neither do I relish the idea of having to pay for the rest of the fence by myself - there are plenty of things in the 200-300 price range that I would like a lot more than installing a fence for which they have agreed to pay. Thanks for the advice, anyway. -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Kawasaki ZX-6R J1 BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, TEAR#3 (and KotL), DS#5, Keeper of the TFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
Ah, but it depends on the type of neighbour you're dealing with... my particular gripe, which I tend to go outside to be vocal about, is when footballs etc., keep going into our garden and smacking into my car. Having argued with one neighbour about it last week, I was pleasantly surprised when he popped round earlier to say he could see my point, and to apologise. If on the other hand, you live next door to the norths answer to Wayne and Waynetta Slob, then good luck if you're going to adopt that approach, as you will need it.
Actually, not so. You can get a metal stake and a long lead (but not so long she can get out of the garden) and let her run around on that. Or attach her to the whirligig dryer and get your clothes aired at the same time...
Why not get some of that cheap wire link fencing you can find in B&Q, nail it to the existing fence to stop the dog getting thru... cost maybe £10. Then plant some connifers which will grow over the lot, need zero maintenence, and eventually grow high enough to block out all the mess next door.
You've got a dog that can't jump 6" fences? Have her put down! -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University. Room 40-1-B12, CERN GSX600F, RG250WD.

Well I can offer an increase from £26500 to £57000 in 22 months (although this was in 1987/88). The best I've done recently is from £124k to £245k in 5 years and a 20% increase in the last 12 months. Cheers Andy
Yeah, I just love the "I made 100k on property" conversations. Really interesting. Mind you, I don't go to parties.
How about a really shitty crap fence put in place that only keeps your dog out of their garden? It won't look good from your perspective atm, but it might piss on their bonnie if they were expecting you to complete the fencing to match and not fork out for it. -- Lesley ZXR400SP "Not bad for a Scouser" SBS#11[with oak-leaf cluster] BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Un-cork me to reply

I just switch off. There will always be people with more money than me, and it's not like it's real money anyway. I do.
