My neighbour’s dog comes into my garden – is that allowed?
Not without your permission. If you don’t give permission, or you give permission and later withdraw it, a dog on your land may be considered a trespasser and you are entitled to take the dog to the local council. However, if no damage has been done, it is probably best to return the animal to your neighbour or ask the neighbour to retrieve it. If the animal has caused damage, you can request the neighbour to compensate you. Trespass by other animals, including cattle, horses, sheep and goats, may be dealt with in the same way as that by dogs.
