Hey everyone,
I just got back from a long vacation and found my house occupied by squatters. I'm really worried about what to do in this situation. I don't want to be violent, but the squatters are illegally taking over my property. I have a Doberman at home and I was wondering if I could use him to scare them away? Is it legal to do that or do I risk getting in trouble with the law?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there,
I had a similar experience a few years ago when I returned to my farm and found squatters illegally living in one of my properties. I was really upset and wanted to take matters into my hands. I had a German Shepherd but I decided not to use him as a weapon.
What I did was to immediately speak to the squatters and offer them a deal. I told them that I would help them find a place to live if they left my property peacefully. Initially, they were hesitant to leave but I kept pressing on and in the end, they left without any trouble.
In my experience, it's always best to try to reason with squatters first before using any force. If you can find a peaceful resolution, it's better for all parties involved. However, if the situation escalates or the squatters refuse to leave, then it might be necessary to get legal help.
Hope this helps.
