Default I am now using an electric fence around my garden pond.

Yes, dogs are "controllable" ani8mals, cats are not as has been
mentioned many many times.
You have a *number of escalating remedies starting with talking to the
owners, getting the council's dog warden involved, claiming for any
damage off their household insurance, ultimately if you can show it is
dangerously out of control then Dangerous Dogs Act applies.


But if you want to be really really nasty you could always report them
to the RSPCA.


I am more concerned about the several foxes than the one dog and I am
on good terms with the neighbour.

Well to keep rabbits and foxes off my dahlias I have had to resort to
electric rabbit netting, 150 meters of the stuff, but it works.
