dog bite on my own property

  1. If someone were to get bit on my private property because they come uninvited and are causing trouble, can i be held liable? Im in the middle of a nasty custody battle and her family likes to show up and act like they own the place and worried if one of my dogs were to snatch one of them would i be on the othet side of the courtroom? They think that if i let the dogs go ill be liable. Ive told them ill let em out if they dont leave but they threaten with the law. They know i dont want that. So can i cut a hound lose? Just as a scate tactic? Or is that consideted illegal?

    You'd be in trouble bro. Don't ever deliberately use your dogs to scare/threaten someone unless they are about to seriously hurt you. The law will come down on you, not them. Bigger question though: are your dogs not friendly with strangers? If not, they're a poor representation of the breed and need culling.

    depends where u live i suppose...

    my dog bit my landlord because he walked into my backyard unannounced, to make things worse he was def LOL.... he got snatched up to say the least...... i called the ambulance, they showed a long with the fire department.....they asked what heppened.... told em, they said "sounds like the guy was an idiot" they took off and that was that......
    no sheriff...
    no AC....
    nothing.......

    take that for whatever you want, but id simply advise to forget about the dogs and get you a shotgun!
     
  4. you turn your dogs loose on the ex-laws in a custody battle and you could probably say bye to your child. endangerment, hostile living quarters, etc....courts won't favor you for it, that's for sure...
     
  5. Haha damn you got lucky! They know i dont call the cops and i think thats why they test me. Putrid lil fucks. And no they arent cull worthy. I have a dog in the house im almost positive would bite them if the situation escalates. And im afraid he might accidentaly get out when they show up. Im in ohio if that helps.

    I would say very,very bad idea.The best idea I can give is get a restraining order if you do not want them to show up. I have been through a divorce and custody battle and believe me,if anyone was going to get blamed for anything it would be me,not her,lol As much as I would of liked to seen my ex be eaten alive I know that if I put a man eating dog on her,I would probably still be in jail. Just don't do it.

    over here you can get the cops to give them a criminal
    trespass notice or what is called a lawfull order to stay
    off your property with the CT they can be arrested if there
    near your property with the lawfull order they have to be
    on your property to get arrested... also check your state law
    to see if they (your state) has any kind of castle doctrine !
    also post no trespassing signs and beware of dog signs as
    well !... not saying they will keep you out of legal trouble
    but they couldn't hurt imo ...

    Yes put the signs up. if you can afford a CC camera put that up. That way if the come onto your property without your permission its trespassing and you can lay a charge against them.
    Sending your dogs out to attack them is not a good idea but if they come in (trespass) and your dogs then bite them that is a different case and you should be OK

    call your county sheriff or police department and ask. They will be able to let you know what is within your legal limits when it comes to protecting your property. Even if you werent charged legally and your dog bit someone I would put my money on the dog getting put down eather way.

    Not sure what the law says where you live but if someone.can accidentally walk onto my backyard and gets bit I will most certainly getting sued but then again I live in the city.
     
  18. Ill clarify a lil, in order to even get to my house you have to drive down lane prolly 1/4 mile or more in between two corn fields. And we have private drive signs posted at the end of the lane. My biggest fear is that i let my dogs run free a lot of the time. I have an underground fence around our "yard" and there is a fence between the yard and fields/woods. Our house sits on a 97 acre farm so its not like we have ppl close to us. So if these retards happen to show up withtheir stupid antics while the dogs are loose there is a chance someone may get bit.
     
  19. Gh32 if i could i would too with a crocodile. And ursaminor yes i do have a lot to lose. Maybe illhave to bite the bullet and play nice haha.
