web cams are cheap, terabyte hard drives are cheap.. set up, start when you leave, review footage when you get home, erase and repeat.

If the dog is not on your property, and is being a nuisance to neighbors, then your best option is to retrieve the animal and apologize.

There we go!

Not that simple, when a LEO is involved.

I do not intend to start a LEO bash from this thread, but I'd suggest if the shooting of dogs by anyone to include LEO's is of interest, do a few Google searches,, caution, do it before dinner, or you will lose your appetite...

As far as defending your property,, from the current cases in public view here in Texas right now, it would seem that many LEO's and departments consider dogs property, but one that has little value, and can be dispatched at will, with little cause, and no recourse to the owner.. After all it's for the Safety of the officer.. (funny sounds like an anti's rhetoric when they speak of banning all privet ownership of guns)

If the attitude that is public now from LEO's is any indication.. I'd say, Law enforcement officers would have a pretty dim view of you the citizen defending your dog (property) with any force, never mind deadly force.

Again, I say LEO's in the public eye, in the media,, , perhaps it's just those minor few with that attitude and the remaining 99% feel differently, .. don’t know, and I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt to those intelligent, trained officers I know personally, and the many thousands NOT in the media making excuses....
