I am so frustrated lately with my neighbors accross the streets irresponsibility towards letting their dogs outside. So my question to you guys is are any of you in the situation I am going to explain below and how do you deal with it without being rude?

So my neighbors have two dogs and I have two dogs. Their dogs are Tickles and Mutley, Tickles is probably around 25 or 30 pounds and Mutley is over a hundred. My two dogs Oliver (my yorkie 9-10ish pounds) and George who's over a hundred too. Well my neighbors are constantly letting their dogs run free around the yard and when my dogs are out the neighbors dogs are in my yard. They do their business in my yard and the neighbors try to clean most of it up as best as they can I believe but they are still leaving constant droppings in my front yard (which is supposted to be droppings free for a play area).

Also my other concern is right now we live on a dead end street, I dont want Oliver or George thinking that its alright for them to cross the street whenever they feel like it. I dont want them picking up this bad habit. Someday our street will connect and end up going through, once the population grows a little more.

My last concern is Oliver and Mutley. Mutley is not a nice dog, he has gone after Oliver a couple of times and we have had to pick up Oliver and run in the house. When my mother went over to the neighbors house to simply tell them what happened and asked them to prevent this from happing again to put Mutley on a stronger chain all my neighbor said was "well when it rains it pours" and slammed the door in my moms face.

So what do you do? call the cops or take it to them directly? and what do you say to them in order to be kind but get your point across as well? Im not sure how well they are going to take listening to any of my family members because of what happened the last time.

Advice Pleaseeeee
