Hi,

I know no one wants to hear about liabilities, and that the victim has the right to prosecute you if they get injured while trespassing. I was told that if you put up signs like beware of dog, or some fact similar to that. You the dog owner are announcing that your dog can be dangerous; therefore, admitting that your dog is capable of harming. This admission gives violators a challenge, so they want to harass your dogs into a frenzy, and if harm befalls the violators...they can sue for damages. They go to court to see if they can collect some easy money, and who cares about scars. They are vindicated by having your beloved pooch put down, and getting some money to boot. I think that most of these incidences occur with older teens that are board, and have time to waist in court.  As well as getting attention from parents. (I was surprised to hear of the harassing, adult, male, neighbor, of Elaine's).
The advise that was given to me was put up the sign that says dog on premises, and a no trespassing sign. The dog on premises sign only states one fact that there is a dog on the premises, and nothing else. That and a No Trespassing sign lets them draw their own conclusions. I can't believe what the world has come to. It is awful! One of my friends that used to live here in the neighborhood, but moved. Got sued! Her dog just lurched against the fence, and out of nerves the boy fell against the fence, and injured himself. The animal and child were still separated by the fence. The dog got quarantine, and my friend/neighbor got a nice big bill. It just sickened me. Anyway hope everyone takes heed. This was kinda long. I got on a roll...sorry.
