My next door neighbour moved in 2 years ago, realised I had a terrier then bought herself a rabbit rather than run this in a pen she chooses to let the rabbit run loose in the garden, while my beddlington licks her lips at the other side of the fence. Needless to say we are not on speaking terms - how do the pets sort it out?

What she does in her garden is her business. If it bothers you so much, put up a fence that the dog can't see through. Problem solved.
You complain that the rabbit is not in a pen. But it IS on the opposite side of the fence so it is safe from your dog. If it were in a pen, your dog would still be able to see it, still be slavering to get at it. The only difference would be that the rabbit would have a little less freedom.
This is probably the most petty dispute I've ever heard about. Life is too short to be on such bad terms with someone living so close to you, especially over something that could be so easily sorted.

I think this is awful. How could she let her rabbit run wild in the garden. Tell her it is not just dogs that will get agitated at the sight of it. She could lose it to a fox, a squirrel can attack as can magpies and other cats in the neighbourhood. Perhaps once she realises that it is not just your dog that's affected and she really is being stupid about the safety of her rabbit, she might want to do something about it. Ask her nicely to get a run, offer to help look for one in the papers. Tell her you need to think of the safety of both animals, stress might kill the bunny, then suggest you could keep your dog in for a couple of hours while her bun is exercising. Compromise and consistency is the key. I have a boxer dog next door and I have 4 buns plus foster buns, in runs. I tend to cover one side of the run, so the dog doesn't worry my buns, and it also stops the buns from tormenting her dog. We are good neighbours and get on well. Good luck.

Your dog is in your yard.... she has a right to have a rabbit (or a cat, or squirrels, or whatever) in her yard... even if you don't like it.
Sounds the rabbit isn't disturbing your peace; however, if your terrier is raising cain & yapping, then it may be disturbing her peace & the peace of other neighbors. If the rabbit is harmed by your dog, then this could be real problems for you.
I love dogs & other animals.. I have owned all kinds of pets. When my neighbor lets her cat out, I put my dog in - we (the owner's of these two animals) worked it out peacefully and equitably. We sort of trade time & space so each animal has it's sense of freedom & can safely co-exist.
Why rely on the pets to sort out an issue that isn't between them - it is between two people & based on your position stated, I am guessing you are the one who needs to make amends.....

Had a similar problem with dog next door. Mine all well behaved but next door kept barking.. drove me mad. Fenced off the gaps in brand new fence.. neighbour didn't offer to contribute.. but all the same we are all talking and dogs can't see each other.. haha but they still bark............ or rather the other dog barks then sets of mine.... Be careful because if your dog got into her garden she could at worst have your dog put down.. or sue you. Best of luck.. train your dog to play in the garden with you and ignore the bunny boiler

The only way your bedlington will sort it out is by killing the rabbit.
Your neighbor has a right to have her pet in her yard.
I would suggest putting up privacy panels or taking your Bedlington in when the rabbit is out. Depending on where you live, if she kills the rabbit she may very well be labeled viscous (as stupid as that is) and euthanized.

well, well, well. its a tricky one, the rabbit has every right to wonder about its own yard, as does ur dog in ur yard, or garden, why am i saying yard?, but if the dog goes for rabbit, then ur in it, deep!
Dont let the dog near the rabbit, with any luck a cat will kill the rabbit instead, and then its not ur prob, just donr let the dog do it, or u might end up in court!!

eat the rabbit yourself. If its an old one you might need to boil it for a while- they can get quite tough( see food and drink answers).
Could i also suggest soething like stappling the fur to your neighbours front door, or making a winter hat from the skin. This way your neighbour will know you know business.
happy hunting!!

sorry but you can take your wee dog on long walks to parks etc and it can run about, the poor rabbit has limited freedom so let the poor thing enjoy running about,your wee dog's reation is just nature,i dont like the way you dismissed the rabbit a THIS,not nice.
