runforyourlife 361 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I dont think they are to bothered what the dog lives in, i think more so the building. Are they council owned propertys? Because if so, they will have it writen down somewhere, you know what they are like. How did they know they where there, you must have someone near to you who has complained. Just remove the dog, bring it in to the house, then tell them its your shed!!! theres no law in having a shed!. When all settles down move it back in... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desertdog 149 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 id be abit canny about this and speak to someone, we get street patrols and one of the jobsworths told me my grass in the front was to long,at the time i,d no mower, so i nicely explained that to the coloured gentleman and was polite, he told me to it cut or there would be probs, ok says i,anyhow igot me a mower and did as iwas asked, the next day i got a snotty letter about it from this ethnic gentleman saying there would be action taken if nothing was done, my garden was in order and looked nice, i was by now steaming, i rang said gentleman and asked him to come and see me, he never turned out, them the next week i see,s him having a poke at a neighbour, thats it the gloves are off, i told the coloured gentleman, that he obviously had nothing better to do, and to shove his pen and his letters as far up the councils alley as he could and mind his own buisness, ive been left alone ever since, dont let them bully you.

roadrunner 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 shorly if i have had any complants the soliciter will be able to get hold of them and see what they say .. but my agreement says nothing about sheds or dog runs and that in its self should be enough to argue my point ....but i think aswell but the dogs are a lot more happy loose to do what they want not to be restricted to how much chain they have .......and i dont know what will happen if i do put them on a chain what if she goes mental and howls and barks all night then there will be a problem......what do you lot think the benifits are been in a run and the disadvantages about been on a chain cos i will take some ideas with me to the solisitor...i might even get the r.s.p.c.a round to give ther opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scallywag 78 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 In terms of animal welfare a kennel and run has got to be better than a kennel and chain, surely. You got a vet who would support this argument, that what you've got is better for the dogs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) my thought exectly shorly its better for them.......thats what i need i think a report or letter saying this from a vet or some kind of animal welfair person Edited July 11, 2009 by roadrunner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
runforyourlife 361 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 They are not obthered about the dog! They want it on a chain so it cant escape, and kill the neigbours cat, that has complained that he has hunting killing dogs....!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
