Agressive neighbor dogs?
Agressive neighbor dogs? General Dog Discussions
We are in a new neighborhood and don't have a fence up in our yard with our new house yet and neither do our neighbors. My dogs are well socialized and friendly to people and other dogs and obedient. I also keep them on a leash even though there is no leash law in our city. We are out in the country. A few times the neighbor's dogs, when let out, have come charging out and across the street at my dogs and with me there with them. I have been very nice to them in approaching them about their dogs. The husband seems to think he has control over his dogs and continues to let them out loose. Any ideas how to handle this or is there nothing else for me to do. I do wait when I see their dogs outside before I go out with mine.I hope either we or they will be able to get a fence up soon! I'm also concerned of the influence these dogs might have on mine who have been use to other friendly dogs.I have a 4year old and a 6month old.We were the first family on our street before the other family moved in. There was no way to 'scout' that out.What is ASPCA?I have called Animal control and they won't do anything because of no leash law.I've spoken to to them about going on a walk, but schedules haven't worked out for that. I am working hard to socialize my dogs around other dogs that are better behaved.I have put myself in danger not allowing the other dogs to do anything to my dogs. I have stood there between them and my dogs and made myself look real big and growled and barked"NO!" at them right in front of the owner. If I get attacked, law suit! My dogs are show dogs. My male is intact, so is the neighbor's one dog. I don't think you can socialize intact males together no matter what you do.If it's bad manners, there still seem to be aggressive tendancies and shouldn't have to wait to let my dogs out, but that may be the case until a fence is put up.
