Too many dogs

Call you local town hall/council. There are usually rules regarding the number of pets at any one residence.

In our town we have a 3 dog limit, which is sensible. Of course this is only acted upon if someone enters a complaint, then it is checked on by the bylaws officer, who may issue a fine or compliance order.

I live in a small village next door to a lady that breeds Border Collies and she has altogether 5 dogs.
I love dogs I have two Cairn terriers of my own. The dogs usually do not bother each other and everything is fine. However, a few times a year she has a friend that comes to stay and she has 6 Border Collies. They are not very friendly to say the least and every time anyone goes into the garden me or my dogs her dogs go absolutely mental. Then my two join in and it sounds like Battersea dogs home.
I’m getting really fed up now. My male dog has started scent marking everywhere and my girl dog just keeps yapping . This woman has been here for two weeks. 11 dogs next door ....... what can I do ?
