Community Resolution Order
Hi, my neighbours came round because they claim my dog got into their garden, jumped up and bit her arm. My dog has undoubtedly been in their garden before, over the summer (at least twice) they informed us and we improved their fence so our dog could no longer get through.
They claim this incident was last week.
I asked them (by text) to tell me where he got through as we can honestly see no gap big enough for even a yorkie to get through, let alone a border collie. I also asked for a bit more info about the incident as i need to make some hard decisions (if for example out dog shoved his way through and attacked her, it's rather different to him putting his face through, her shoving him back and then his tooth grazing her)
They have not come back to me on either count.
This morning a police officer turned up and tried to "persuade" me to sign a community resolution order whereby i agree to improve (their!) fence and pay them an as yet undisclosed in amount recompense. He was a bit wishy washy about what would happen if i refused to sign, but said i could be guilty of an offence under the dangerous dogs act.
I do not believe that IF something happened it happened as reported (i can't say for certain it didn't happen - he was in the garden and i can't see the whole of it from where i am working) and i don't want to sign. I am willing to be proved wrong
I find it extremely hard to believe. We are already not on good terms with these neighbours and i think they are just being trouble makers. However, my job requires me to have DV clearance and i don't want to jeapordise that.
someone give me some advice please!
