violent dog walker

[Devil's advocate]

So what is the best way with these people.

In the field earlier loading some insect netting, noticed a guy running spaniels 150 metres from path from one end of field to the other.

I stopped tractor asked him to keep dogs under close control, extremely threating & violent. I'm in dry stone wall country & he picked up a large stone & threated to put it through tractor cab windows. Called me every name under the sun he does this "dog walking"
every afternoon 3pm ish.

I stood my ground stayed calm & firm but it is hassle I can do without & I can't afford to give in this is urban fringe land although in a reasonably good area.

Film it next time then give a copy to the police and take out an injunction banning him from the land

 

[Wellytrack]

You need to go back tomorrow at the same time and have some footage of the interaction. If he forces you to retreat so be it. Then call the police.

 

[kiwi pom]

Either give him a good hiding or film him and report him to the police.

If you give him a good hiding, don't film it.

 

[lloyd]

Get yourself a pet rottweiler.

 

[ARW]

He sounds mentally unstable

 

[teslacoils]

Only one solution.

 

[Will 1594]

Take your mate ,and gives him some hickory ,if no one else about , is it an uneven path he may have fell and knocked him self on the wall
or the .17 from a distance if safe to do so

 

[Muddyroads]

As said film him if possible, but from what you’ve said this may only antagonise him. Alternatively record the audio confrontation on your phone covertly so you have evidence of the threats and your response. If he’s as unstable as he sounds he may well make allegations against you so you need to have good defence.

 

[teslacoils]

If you're going back tomorrow, get your complaint into plod before you get there. First complaint is the one they side with.

 

[Dry Rot]

Hire him out to the local protection dog training club. I wish I had an aggressive walker, but no such luck. Dogs are going soft!

 

[michael N123]

Go back tomorrowish same time

don’t film it take a baseball bat

 

[PSQ]

When you see him walking on the far side of the field, discretely remove all of the valve cores from his tyres.

 

[davidroberts30]

Dont just film it ,facebook live it

Do you look like Margaret thatcher?

Part bury a nice smelly dead rabbit. When you've finished pour a ring of something around the outside that's smelly and tank...... waste oil might not be fair on the dogs. Sure somebody round about might have a dead sheep you could leave in a sack awaiting collection might be another option.

I had similar here a few times when we moved in and were ‘setting ground rules’. You have to puff up your chest, raise your shoulders, and don’t back down whatever you do. It’s a bit disconcerting when they’re bigger than you and have an anger management problem that means they spit in a rage when their fist is drawn back, but don’t blink, just let them think you’re nuttier than them. Not one of the ar*eholes that tried it on here has ever been seen on the place since though.

At one point we did take to reporting each incident of threatening behaviour to plod, just so they had things on file should it escalate (as I could see happening at one point).

I have to admit that I may have approached a couple of people in the same ‘irritated’ state after they had threatened my wife when she asked them to keep their dogs under control. She’s no shrinking violet but, call me old school, threatening a woman is like a red rag to a bull….

Whatever you do, avoid violence. You could easily end up in prison.

Some good suggestions here with filming him, involving police etc.
DO NOT do anything involving firearms, as tempting as it may be.

I don’t know what access you fellas have to various baits or chemicals, but if all else fails, can you spread some slug / snail pellets or mouse bait around that the dogs will hopefully eat ? Some 1080 fox baits would be ideal . . .

dont see why the dogs should suffer because a cock is taking them out
