Police want to speak to the supermodel, and her film producer husband Matthew Vaughn, over complaints their pet pooches have attacked local residents.
German Shepherd Oscar is said to have bitten a postman and is accused of chasing a deer near Schiffer's £5 million Suffolk mansion.
Irish Wolfhound Roxy is alleged to have attacked an elderly Jack Russell dog being walked by its owner and their grandchildren on the public footpath which runs along the front wall of the model's estate.
One villager told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "The dogs are still getting out and can be quite aggressive. The wolfhound is worse because it is the size of a small pony. She charges at people barking and puts her head close to yours.
"The Jack Russell was on a lead when the wolfhound just picked it up and shook it. The poor dog suffered terrible injuries."
Villagers have written to Schiffer, 36, and Vaughn, 35 - who produced the Guy Ritchie films 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' - to complain and have received polite letters of apology back, but nothing has been done.
Residents have now complained to the local council as they claim they are too scared to walk on the footpath which runs across 40 acres of parkland, as the dogs run wild on the estate.
Community police officer Den Mullett said: "We have had a number of complaints regarding dogs roaming freely along public footpaths. Arrangements are in hand to meet the owners to discuss these issues."
