can anyone help ive just started walking a neighbours dog a german shepherd 13mounths he stops outside in the back garden all day with no shelter and no bed, also she wants to tether him up to stop him from digging the garden does anyone no if there is any regulations on tethering?.

the owner is concidering rehoming him but iam trying to find ways for her to rehome him sooner.as i would like him myself.
 
I can't help you regulations on tethering.

But I think how your neighbour is keeping her dog is wrong.

I would speak to your neighbour and explain to her that if she does want to rehome the dog, that you like to have it.
 
Poor dog, the sooner it is out of there the better, but the sound of it. I just don't understand why some people get dogs. :( :(

There isn't any law against tethering, but if the dog has no access to shelter then that is considered to be neglect and the RSPCA could get involved.
 
i no i cant understand people who keep there dogs like a piece of poo,

the owner knows that i want him but her excuse is her daughter gets upset when she talks about rehoming the dog but the kid hardly ever sees the dog, i would love to say something to her but i no wat shes like she probobly either wont give me the dog let alone let me walk him just dont no what to do
 
You could say to your neighbour, that if she would rehome the dog with you, her daughter could still see it as it would be living next door.

If the daughter isn't that bothered, she won't be popping by all that often.

What I would say is, if she has no intention of rehoming the dog and it is kept in the conditions you described. I would report her for neglect because it is so wrong for any animal to be treated like that.
 
i no ive said she could see the dog whenever she wanted to and also i no it seams like ive got a anser for everything but she isnt the type of person i want to live near if i get on the wrong side of her if you get what i mean? and i dont whant any shit back at my house
 
Either you get her to rehome the dog with you or you carry on as you are.

At the end of the day its you that has to make a decision about what to do, you know the situation and you know the people involved.

Its a tough one :luck: with whatever you decide.

Lets us know what happens.
 
will do thanks for advice :thumbsup: iam thinking about just saying there are restrictions about the tethering and say something like when i took zak for a walk he had the runs and i think its because hes got a stomach chill and she mite think well i dont want him in the house but i cant leave him outside to get worse mite work even if she took him to vets for check up it wouldnt be a bad thing

:))
 
I'd be careful about stretching the truth about the tethering, just in case she's made enquiries about it herself.
 
ye but i could just say if she sais anything well mabe some places have different regulations for homes and businesses but if she has a go i will just say i must of misunderstood but i really cant see her being bothered looking into it shes more interested in booze and her mates
 
Oh right, she sounds like a right character :blink:
 
You know, I really do not understand people who go out and get a dog and make it live in this kind of environment.

The owners sounds like they have very little affection for the poor dog and the

youngster in the family does'nt care much for the dog also but at the same time doesn't want anyone else to have it either. Why do people get dogs and make them live in the garden or the shed ,just asking for trouble, the dogs get little human contact, are not house trained and are not socialised and they wonder why the dogs end up with problems.

Really hope you can get these people to give him up to you, going to have to bite your tongue I'm sure. :luck: :luck: :luck: Keep them sweet and I hope they let you have him.

Some neighbours of mine, got a lovely golden retriever pup in the summertime.

The husband made an area for it at the side of the house where it had a few feet of concrete as the run and the brick shed for it's kennel. Even in the summertime they would be out in the back garden and still kept Monty in the run. I could see straight into their back garden from my window, and I just felt so sorry for him, he was longing to have contact with his owners but they ignored him most of the time.

I bumped into the wife when I was out with our two one evening, this was the first time I had spoken to her, so I tried to have a friendly chat with her. At least she had taken him out for a walk a good sign I thought. She had a toddler in the pushchair and Monty on the lead, I made a fuss of Monty and began chatting about the dogs. I asked how the housetraining was going, O'h she said , I don't let him in the house because he will pee on the carpet. What can you say!

Well they no longer have the puppy, I don't know where he's gone. I just hope he has now got a good home where he will be wanted and loved. They obviously should never have got a dog in the first place, they didn't have much affection for him and the novelty of owning a dog wore off very quickly. They had him for about 4 months in which time they didn't house train him or give him much attention, just at the time in his young life where he should have been learning so much.

:luck: Monty
 
thanks i will let you no what happends as she has just txt me asking if i can walk him on saturday because she is babysitting at her house so iam going to take my labrador round as they are mates to see if she sais anything when she sees how much they get on and if she notices that my dogs are in alot better condition than zak the poor dog, iam willing to try anything.

happy xmas to you to :clown:

Too late to edit but should add if things don't go in your favour quickly, get this family reported sooner rather than later, they are neglecting and ill treating this dog.
 
by law a dog has to have access to food,clean drinking water and SHELTER.if they arent providing shelter maybe if you told her the law shed let you take the dog? :luck: hope you get him :thumbsup:
 
Legislation is changing in 2007, I think RSPCA are being given greater powers with situations like this. Not too sure on the details as I can't find out on the net but they do have a phoneline in operation giving details.
 
ye will do she said she will give him a mounth to improve before she rehomes him but hope she will see sence sooner than that will let you no what happendes thanks :))
 
ye will phone rspca to ask on the laws and i hope i get him to he would love it with all my lot like a mad house hear :clown:
