FOOD! That's what gets a dog's tail wagging.(Don't let anyone see you
feeding it or they may claim you've been enticing the dog to keep
revisiting your property so you could just complain!) A few scraps off
your dinner or lunch meat will do. Or keep a packet of dry dog food on
hand for when you need to take the dog's mind off that rope you're putting
on him.

Hi John,
It worked, kinda, well the prep did :-(.
I got the dog yesterday evening, no food needed. I got home from work,
waited, it came over, I chained it up and all good. Rang the council, they
contacted me back and said the catcher would be over about 4.15pm.
So after 30mins of the dog being tied up with no probs, 4.15pm came. A long
story short it came to 5pm, and the dog started whinging, by 5.30pm it was
still going, so I let it go, no catcher.
I start work at 6am, and when I got to my car about 5.30am, the dog was
around. I considered catching it then, and getting my fiance to ring the
council at 9, but didn't bother.
Lunchtime today my fiance rings me, telling me that the dog catcher came
around to get the dog.
Can you believe it? Roughly 19hrs later he turns up, and was suprised that
we didn't have it. Apparently he went to the house, no one was home, looked
in the back yard, then came back over and told the missus that he couldn't
see the dog. Well duh, the backyard of the dogs house is the last place you
will find the dog.
Anyway, he asked if I could do it again tomorrow. I might, it's Friday
afternoon and I will have bnetter things to do.
