Thank you everyone, some really helpful suggestions! i have emailed the council and given them the full story. I think I'll give the police officer who visited me a ring tomorrow and ask his advice - I'd not thought of that! Jack is always supervised while in the garden, mainly because my wall is only waist hight, and if he wanted to, could easily hop over it. This woman isn't bothered by my presence.. she really has got a screw loose! Good idea on the getting neighbours to write letters too, I was thinking myself about getting them all to sign some sort of 'Jack is a friendly dog' petition type thing to send to the council, I'm kinda hoping the police officer might contact them himself, and have a word to them. As for a video camera, this is something I'll definately head towards if she doesn't do as the police have asked her, and pass my house on the other side of the road. I've had no reply fromt he council as yet! Thanks again for everyones help

Thank you for your replies I'm going ot get on to the council right now!

Hiya, I'm not sure if this is the roght section, but I can't find another section that seems relevent. I'm looking for some advice. I'll first give a bit of background..I have an 8 month old collie pup, he's always loved to sit in my back garden standing up at the wall, as everyone who lives in my estate stop when they walk past to pet him, and he loves all attention! However, there is one woman with quite an attitude problem, and insists that Jack (my collie) 'goes for her', I have had to get the police envolved as a couiple of weeks ago, whilst I was holding my dogs collar, while my partner opened the boot of our car to get him in, this woman and her partner walked past, and when Jack barked, her partner tried to kick him, and she shouted "I'm going to break that f*&king dogs neck". Everytime she walks past my house, if Jack is in the garden, she will cross the road to my side, and walk past flinging her arms over my wall at him. She has threatened myself and my dog several times. The police have met my dog, and agreed taht he is very friendly, but may well come across as aggressive whilst barking at the wall, so the officer, has gone and told the woman that if she feels threatened by my dog, to cross the road before walking past my house, rather than walk on my side, flinging arms at him! This morning I have had a letter from the council, saying that they have had a report of a dangerous dog, that is out of control. The letter goes onto say taht as this is an isolated report, they are only looking to bring my attention to the matter, but taht a court may make a control order on the dog without proof of injury to a person, so I'm worried that all she has to do is call them back and say he's bitten her and wont even need a bite mark! Should I contact the council with the police reference number and let them know what is going on?
