Dogs are the number one cause of neighbor conflict on our island.

Many people allow their dogs to run free or "at large" as it says in the RSAs. If the dog is calm and friendly then this rarely causes a problem. However some dogs are aggressive when they meet up with a stranger.

People love their dogs and hate to fence or tie them up. They turn a blind eye to the aggressive side of the lovable pooch that plays with their kids. Then they turn another blind eye to the law.
