My neighbor keeps his dog unleashed, and it attacks me every time I ride by on my bike. After I asked him to keep his dog inside, he started threatening me. What can I do?

A.Dear client,

You may file a legal notice against your neighbour for the actions of their dog.

You can file the notice under the ambit of public nuisance. It means the unwarranted interference of enjoyment of personal property and your life. The dog owner must ensure no one in the society is affected by it.

Thank you

A.Dear Client,
Dealing with a neighbor whose unleashed dog poses a threat is concerning, especially when personal safety is at risk. After addressing the issue directly with your neighbor and experiencing threats in return, it is crucial to prioritize your safety. First, document each incident, noting the date, time, and details of the dog's behavior and any threats made by your neighbor. Consider informing local law enforcement about the situation, providing them with this documentation. Many jurisdictions have leash laws, and law enforcement can intervene to ensure compliance. Additionally, you may want to consult with an attorney to explore legal options for personal protection orders or other measures. If the threats persist or escalate, ensuring a record of incidents will be valuable in any legal proceedings. Prioritize your safety and seek assistance from authorities and legal professionals to address this concerning situation.
