What is the name of your state?MD
I would like to know if I can be held liable for this. I own a beautiful & large dog who is very protective. Since he is so large I have had a run built for him 6ft high, 6 ft wide, 20 ft long for him to exercise outside. My yard is very large, and is not level so fencing the entire thing would be a hassle and expense, hence the dog run. Problem is, though I've posted signs(no trespassing, beware of dog) and made sure the dog cannot escape the run, the neighbor's kids come into the yard, antagonize him, and "bait" him by putting their fingers in the fence of the run. I've spoken to the parents, asking them to keep their children out of my yard, they promise to sue me if their children are bitten. Can I be sued for my dog biting someone if my dog is restrained and well within my property?
