Mil's King Charles Spaniel Hanna has been attacked four times in the last couple of weeks by a fox in the back garden. This has happened in the day time and on one occasion when Mil was also in the garden, the fox seems completely fearless. Thankfully Hanna has not been hurt, other than having some fur pulled out of her tail, but she is obviously terrified She is nervous of going into the garden and when she does, is completely spooked, running about, barking and jumping even if she sees a bird.
We think the fox has a den in next doors garden. We obviously don't want to harm it in any way but does anyone have any advice on steps we can take to stop it coming into the garden? I have seen fox deterrant sprays advertised but am wondering if using these would distress Hanna even more as presumably she would be affected by them as much as the fox?
Any advice much appreciated, TIA.
