    I might be wrong, but I don't think the fencing is as much of an issue as lack of training of the dog.

    A fence would sort the issue for the OP though, and then it's up to the owner to decide whether to train the dog or not.
  • Can you catch the little !!!!!! and hand him in anonymously as a stray to the council dog warden. If it happens a couple of times and they have to keep paying to get him back, they might keep him under control in future.

    I haven't read the rest of the thread, but we have 2 collies next door to our horses and they are forever getting onto our land and rounding up the horses, in spite of their boundaries being sheep-netted. We have spoken to the neighbours, written to them and haven't got anywhere (apart from this, on a few occasions, I have been chased up the road by one of the dogs, on horseback (me, not the dog obv ;) ). I have decided that next time one of them ventures onto our property, I will hand him in to the dog warden...and repeat, until neighbours get tired of picking their dog up.

    I do feel sorry for the dogs- they are collies, they are bored and owners haven't bothered to train them
