Scuffling Dogs.
can anyone help me, a while ago my dog was on our driveway when some woman with a jack russell walked past with one of those stretchy leads and it came on our drive, the dogs had a little scuffle and she threw abuse at my partner, he was polite and said if you need help let us know, but to be honest it was nothing.
She has today been banging on my door shouting the odds at me in front of my kids saying she wants �65.00 in vet bills, or she'll take us to small claims court. i told her to get away from my house and she's giving it "watch your back" She already had the Rspca round and they said our dog is fine etc. she reckons she'll get us evicted from our house and even making personal comments to me. i dont even know the woman
what do i do?

Therefore any sensible person and, inline with this, most courts would realise that your dog was defending what it regards as its territory. Also that the blame lies with her for allowing her dog to stray.
If she continues to be abusive report her to the police. However, be careful of what you accuse her of. I doubt if you could prove it was her that sent the RSPCA round, although it most probably was.
Don't retaliate, and ignore the small claims court business as the amount is too low to come undeer them.

It is entirely the fault of the Jack Russell owner. She was not in control of her dog and using such a lead, should have been able to have forseen that her dog may encroach on to someone elses's property - who themselves may have a dog. If either party has grounds to sue, it's you.
In addition, Jack Russell's are really nice dogs - my friend has one. But they are aggressive. One more reason why it is complete stupidity to use a telescopic lead on a dog that is commonly aggressive.
