How to get rid of mean wild dog???
Hey guys, there is this wild dog that keeps coming around our place, getting into the garbage, causing problems, etc. We live in "town" so no shooting of guns is allowed. What is the best way to kill it? I was thinking poision, but wouldn't have a clue as to what to use. Any idea's?

I don't have a bow up here yet, good one though as that would be fun too.
Does that antifreeze thing really work? How much would it take? Could I just soak a steak in it over night and then leave it out for him? |

Poisoning is cruel. If you want to kill it, do it quick so there isn't much pain. A broadhead doesn't seem to hurt much, I've seen deer jump and then act like nothing happened...until they fell over dead. If you live in an urban setting, you could call animal control.

Antifreeze should not be an option. It will kill all animals in the area that have access to it. It kills them Very slow and it is a very cruel way to get ride of a unwanted animal. Any other critters in the area that have a sense of smell will get into it as well. If you live in town ..why not have the local authorities get ride of it. If you must do it yourself find a quick humane why to do it.

Could you secure the garbage so it could not get to it? Do you have animal control in Alaska? SPCA?
Some dogs will eat antifreeze, I guess it smells sweet or something. I would never do it but maybe some bread soaked in it? Will the dog let you near him? Throw him in your truck (or whatever) and take him for a long ride. Drop him in the next town. It's a shame to kill him. He's just trying to survive. Animal control is probably best if available. Let them take him and kill him. Maybe a silencer? |

We get that problem out here in the country quite a bit. Mostly it is just strays wandering up to the house after their city owners dump them out in the sticks thinking that some kindly farmer would just be pleased as peach to have their four legged experiment in unselective breeding show up at his doorstep. In fact it has gotten so bad around here some years that a few farmers I know have actually dug a big lime filled hole out back in the fence line to dump dog carcasses in. A call to the sheriff and he comes out and kills them of more often than not the property owner shoot it himself. Once every few years we get a pretty good feral pack going that starts chasing and killing deer and stock. It becomes quite a challenge to track down and kill them.
I've actually had my dog die from anti-freeze poisoning. It wasn't exactly a painless death but neither is getting run over by traffic or slowly starving to death. Not that I condone such things but I've known people in town who have done that very thing to keep stray dogs and cats out of their garbage. After getting their trash ripped open and scattered down the street one to many times their attitude is "Hey, if their pets are so precious to them they shouldn't let them run loose and destroy other people's property." Frankly if it is on your property you should be able to do whatever you want to it. Feed it ice cream and fillet mignon or prestone boiled down to make a thin syrup. Bear in mind that in our present animal worshiping culture if the PETA/HUSA crowd catch you doing it they will string you up by the testicles and you will probably be charged with a felony. If you are in town the wiser course of action may be a call to the authorities and let them deal with it. |

Hi Cattleman, been awhile since I've yelled at ya!
I agree with most of these people on NOT using the Antifreeze. That takes DAYS to kill, and it is just not right. I wish I could head up there with my bow and help with this prob. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Know anyone with a live trap? You can try Cayenne pepper around the trash, dogs hate it |

I realize its not the nicest solution, but its an idea. I havent had a problem with a neighbor's dog in quite a while, I've been lucky. I've had to shoot one of our dogs that was sick, and I've had to shoot on of our barn cats or two though. |

Antifreeze doenst kill dogs anymore, they changed something in it im not sure what.
Try getting a cage and put some raw steak in it and just trap the dog, then take it to the next town or the other side of town. killing it isnt right. |

Any "Ethylene glycol" based antifreeze is deadly which makes up about 85% of the antifreeze sold still. |

maybe a .22 LR with the cci's the ones that are supper quite can't recall what they are called but I killed all the opposums I had outback with them and not one of my neighbors had a clue as to what was happening and living in town that is a feat and a half. Just a thought

antfreeze is NOT an option, call your animal control officer and have them take care of the situation, you pay your taxes reap the benefits.

I agree with the others on not using Anti-freeze. Just not the right way to go about getting rid it.
Call the police or the VPSO. If the animal is becoming a problem and the owers (if there are any) won't control the animal the police or VPSO should put it down for you. They may also have the traps to do so. You may not be the first person to report the problem animal and they may be waiting for additional reports to take action. If the police or VPSO won't do anything, just shoot the darn thing and ask for forgiveness later. good luck SJ |

Don't use the anti-freeze, if anyone knows what you did and says anything, you can be charged with animal cruelty, no matter if the animal is being a nuisance[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Call animal control, let them know the problem your having and see if they have a trap. I would guess they don't though, dog traps can be pretty big and expensive for them to purchase. When the dog is in your area, call animal control every chance you get. The pepper spray should work. Majority of dogs hate it. Just don't spray it where you will put your hands. I've been to many calls, where I've sprayed a dog with my OC, and the dogs remembers me, on my next trip to the house and they run the other way. Good luck

Your local dog pound (or equiv) will probably not even bother coming out to pick up the animal...especially if it's wild. Anti-freeze is crual, and as rescuediver points out, can get you in trouble. You can get into more trouble with an animal than a human..which is sad. Anyway, my opinion is too go too the local home improvement store and pick up a varmit catch cage. It's just a cage with a trap door...and they come in all sizes. Then you could catch the animal and drop him off the proper authorities.
I had a genuine wild cat around the neighborhood a year or so ago. This cat killed a medium sized dog...I kid you not. Too smart too get cought in a cage. Dog pound of course never showed up. Kids allover the place..including my then 2 year old. Odd, but that cat just disappeared..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. |

How to get rid of mean wild dog???
Thanks for all the comments guys! Maybe I will just try the .22 with some shorts in it, they are pretty quiet. I don't want to give it a long, slow death with the antifreeze. The animal contol out here is a joke, I have actually called them twice for the situation and they don't do anything. Normally, I wouldn't care if this dog is around, but we are expecting our first baby in March and don't want any trouble when playing outside.

How to get rid of mean wild dog???

I like Joechum's answer. Tear some old clothes, get some fake blood....what the heck...make a video and sell it.

How to get rid of mean wild dog???
If you're going to use .22 shorts you may as well use the anti-freeze. At least the anti-freeze is sure to kill it. Try and get a video of it in your trash to show that it really is a pest. Then go to the animal control or the sheriff's dept. Sometimes they will bring a cage out and try and catch it for you. If it continues to be a pest and you feel you are in danger and neither agency will help you, then use the anti-freeze. Yes, it's a painfull way to die, but then so is having a dog grab you or some child by the throat.

How to get rid of mean wild dog???
I shot a damn stray dog this morning when I caught him killing my chickens. He was some sort of pit bull mixed breed. 5 quick shots from the AR put the hurt on him. For those who are interested in such things I used 55g Corbon Blitz King tactical rounds. Devastating ammo. I think the first one killed him and the other 4 were out of sheer anger. Bastard killed 2 chickens and hurt the other so bad I had to kill her.

How to get rid of mean wild dog???
call animal control!!!
anti-freeze is a cruel prospect,,,,,,and if you got caught,,,,,a prosecutable offense Pesky dog or not,,,,if I caught someone poisoning my dog,,,,I would kill them. On the other hand,,,,if someone found my hungry/lost dog and returned it to me, I would hug them. |
How to get rid of mean wild dog???
Bing, it's a wild dog.
We all know that animal control's cooperation can be less than helpful, and he stated he cant shoot a gun in his neighborhood. And I would think the chances of a neighbor spotting him shooting a dog with a bow would be pretty high. I was just trying to offer a suggestion. I never stated that it was kind or socially acceptable. Then again, some people think that killing any animal for any reason should be a crime. I do appreciate that the members have been intelligent enough to not attack me personally for my suggestion. Your rejection of the idea has been very respectful to me and I thank you for it. |

Originally posted by: Bing Pesky dog or not,,,,if I caught someone poisoning my dog,,,,I would kill them. The best way to keep your dog from being poisoned or shot is to keep it on your own property. If it is damaging or destroying someone else's property it deserves whatever fate the owner of said property deems necessary. |
How to get rid of mean wild dog???
do what everybody else said, just call animal control.
maybe the dog won't be around by the time your baby can walk. i don't know about you but if i had a newborn, i wouldn't let him/her go outside by themselves. |
