Last winter my dog disturbed a sleeping fox which was in the shed at the bottom of the garden. The fox was trapped so there was no escape, and the most almighty fight ensued. It was incredicbly distressing to witness and nothing I could do would stop the fight. Banging pans, shouting etc (the hose pipe had frozen in the snow). Thankfully, my dog killed the fox (although I wish it had never happened) but she didn;t escape wound free. She was extremely cut, bruised and shocked for a number of days afterwards. An almost identical thing happened to another local dog-owner. While I have nothing against any animal, foxes are a nuisance. And I'm afraid I value the safety of my dogs over the preservation of foxes. My neighbour told me yesterday that my 2 dogs disturbed 2 young foxes at the end of the garden so they are clearly still using it as their territory dispite the domestic animals aldready there. I would really appreciate some sort of humane, effective deterrant for them. I have already had the rough patch beyond the fence cleared so they aere not encouraged to make homes, but to no avail. I know one of the neighbours regularly puts food out for them too which doesn;t help. Not really willing to ask my males friends to come and do endless pees in the garden, and water sensor sprays would be set off by the dogs. Is there any truth in lion poo?
