That CONFOUNDED DOG!!!

She doesn't harm them thou, does she? If she's just chasing, you can always crate-train her and keep her in the crate at night so you can sleep. Your dog sounds like Domingo. He knows he can only chase the one cat and they have fun chasing each other around the house in play. Thankfully, they only do that when we are awake.

I've suggested getting a crate, but the roomie is resistant. She's got a shock collar that she's putting on her tonight!

she only chases some of them, but she needs to learn to leave those along too!

I sure have thought about doing that but it would more than likely make matters worse here. they do not care how their yard or home looks at all. they would probably start vandalising my home when I am alseep or away from my home. I do not trust them at all. I requested your friendship. I am in Indiana.

Whenever you clean up their dogs' mess, put it in a covered bucket till it is filled then go over to their house late at night when they are sleeping and dump the contents on their doorstep. If they come over and complain about it, all ya gotta do is tell them you were cleaning up THEIR dogs' mess and figured they should dispose of it themselves. Keep doing it till they finally get sick of it and control their dogs' whereabouts. lol

I would probably call the city or whoever - sheriff about the attacking dog. There may not be leash laws in your area, but I bet there's laws about vicious dogs. We've had beware of dog signs up, but for some reason they were all destroyed. I've warned the neighborhood kids that this dog would hurt them if they got into the back yard and would destroy their toys if they got into the yard so they leave her alone. I don't think she'd hurt them if she got out of the yard, she's only defending her yard when someone gets in it and is fine when they are properly introduced, tho she's got the memory of a goldfish.

She was attacked off list by some member who knew her from someplace else so she quit. We're more likely to lock the dog up!

I'm for letting the dog spend a cold night outside - it isn't cold enough to kill her and maybe she'd be better. Other than that - the bathroom is where she's going to be!

Either way, sounds like it will be a learning experience for the dog. Take care

We got the dog at 10 or so months old after it had been running as a stray out in the hill country for a while. that was almost 7 years ago. I told the roomie she needed to take her to training, but that didn't happen.

That's not cute, that's one BAD DOG! She keeps that up, shes one HOMELESS dog!

I swear, this dog is sometimes just going to drive me NUTZ!

This dog WASN'T sleeping - she attacked one of the CATS. I don't, in fact, care if the cat attacked her first - but that's pretty doubtful - she can't be attacking the cats. If it had just been barking, it would've been bad, but not as likely to make me so angry.

Yes, it does. Some people are just not responsible enough to have pets (or children). Pets take just as much work as children and if your roommate is not doing anything, all of you suffer.

I have suggested REPEATEDLY taking the dog to a trainer, but she's the roommate's dog. All the dogs probably ought to get some training - but when I tell you that my dog - the one that's been an outside dog for the first 5 years of his life is the best trained one of the lot, it kind of tells ya something - huh?

We've looked for any injuries on the cats, but have found none. I'm afraid that Zoe would tear up the costume too, she destroys stuffed animals.

We could lock her in a bathroom and keep her away from the cats, but the roomie doesn't want to do that.
