We live in the city and out patio adjoins the sideyard of a neighboring home. They have two full sized Great Danes that are only seperated from us by a 4 ft chainlink fence (they are taller). Are there any requirements by law for fencing large dogs? We are currently unable to use our patio b/c of this.|||as long as the dog is staying on its property, and not barking constantly (noise ordinance) then you really unable to bring the law into it. why cant you use your patio? if they are bugging you because they want attention, then why don't you put up a privacy fence (maybe ask the neighbor to go in on half of the fence that separates your yards), or put up a lattice between your patio and their yard, so you can block the dogs.|||If the dogs are properly contained on the property, then no law is being broken. Technically, there doesn't even need to be a fence if the dog doesn't leave the yard.
Why can't you use your patio?? Great Danes are wonderful dogs. Make friends with them and they will be as friendly as can be.|||From the Fulton County Animal Control website:
"Our officers are authorized to issues citations for violations of animal related regulations including:
路 Leash Law - All dogs must be restrained by means of a fence, wall or other enclosure or restrained by leash."
If the dog is taller than the fence, it doesn't sound to me like they are restrained. However, you might be better off contacting animal services on Monday to find out the specific guidelines.
