The pit-bull was actually following the labs behavior and altho he was lounging forward and barking, he did so remaining behind the lab. (The dog-walker had one leash/one dog per hand and trying to restrain them unsuccessfully.) I love all dogs, including pits but this is about having neighbors with big, powerful untrained dogs. I know the reason these dogs are aggressive is because of the owner's lack of discipline. I would like to know what other people with small or big dogs would do if they were in my place. I don't want to have any problems with the neighbors but they have already made suggestions to keeping my dogs on their leashes even when they are fenced in my backyard! I feel slightly threatened by what she is saying [it's as if she's trying to protect herself if her dogs get loose] and I would like to take every precaution possible without restricting my dogs of running around in their big backyard. |
Thank you for clarifying that for people, I would personally call Animal Control and let them know that the neighbors dogs are agressive and untrained and let them know that the neighbors have warned you that your babies may be killed if they ever got out. Animal Control usually does not take things like that likely and they will go to their home. Just make an anonymous call instead of saying it's you if you fear having a bad relationship with them. The relationship is obviously nothing in comparisn to your babies lives... Just do what you have to do to protect them.
