Zara just watches them from the window.... Got a big window in my living room and a large leather footstol under it to the level of the bottom of the window.

Sunday night is TV night - Zara at the window, watching foxes as they tear through the black rubbish bags and screem at one another (rubbish collection on Mondays so Sunday night everyone has to move their bags from the bins in the back to the front).

So Zara has her telly from the footstol and cats from the cat tree.... cheap entertainement for them...

Well you can magic all the foxes away not much you can do , maybe try leaving tv or radio on in the room where the dog is and he might not react other than that I can't think of any other way sorry..

My housemate woke me up at 5am last week because he was concerned about a pair of foxes in the garden adjacent to ours. They'd been "stuck together" for 15 minutes and were disturbing the cats. He was a little embarrassed when I explained that they were just reproducing :cool:

I would do some counter conditioning with your dog. It won't stop the foxes, but it should stop your dog reacting.
