Default How do I handle rude neighbors?

My old neighbors moved to Miami, FL about 5months ago. His sister, her husband and kids moved into their place. After about 2 weeks of them moving in they tried to start things with my family, all over where we take our dogs to use the bathroom. The first time it happened, my Grandma was walking Zoey down the street to this large grass area to use the bathroom. As she was walking back up, the lady comes out of her house, yelled at her and told her to take our dog other places..as if she had been watching my grandma the whole time; I find that sort of creepy. My Grandma told her it was the common area, it's not anyone's yard. The lady got harsh and almost made my grandma cry. This lady is probably in her 30s and she had 2 kids. I live in a townhouse complex, so we have common areas, which is where I take my dogs. The one common area is right across the street from my house where the mailboxes are. Last night the lady tried to starty with me. I had my JRT out for the last time last night around 9:45pm. My neighbor comes out, and starts to walk down. Her dog was already growling and barking at my dog, as she walked past, her dog lunged at my dog and came pretty close to us. I walked away startled and, well this is our conversation:

Me: "excuse me, but please watch your dog"
Her: "It was an accident! she slipped, okay?!"
me: "that's fine, but just be more careful next time. I don't want a scuffle to start between our dogs"
I start to walk away so my dog can use the bathroom for the last time tonight. She yells at me;
Her: "Why do you let your dogs **** in my yard?!"
Me: confused because I don't let my dogs in her yard "I've never let my dogs in your yard, perhaps you have me confused with someone else"
Her: "you're letting him pee here" she was referring to the common area.
I then told her it was the common area, hence it wasn't anyone's yard. I then said to her "unless you bought it, and it is yours..is it?"
Her: "No! but you don't let him pee here! go somewhere else"
This is the same woman who made my Grandmother cry a few months ago.. I said to her "What is your problem? Ever since you and your family moved here, all you've done is tried to pick on my family for no known reason. What did we do to you? Or are you the type of person who needs to always start things in order to feel good about yourself? I think you're a very rude and ignorant person, and I don't even know you, but you come off that way..How about instead of constantly picking on my family, why don't you speak to your neighbor next door, because whenever you're gone, her dog runs around in your yard and yes uses the bathroom..so perhaps those pee stains in the grass are from her dog, because they're aren't from mine." The look on her face was like dumbfounded, perhaps she wasn't expecting me to go off on her and call her out on things. She didn't say anything, but stare at me with her mouth open. Right before I walked into my house I said "I don't even know how you were related to the guy who lived there before you, because your brother was a hell of a nice person compared to you" Sorry, I needed to rant about this. I hate confrontation, and it makes me feel all shaky. This lady, and her husband have been trying to start things and pick on my family ever since they moved here 4months ago, and we've never once said anything or did anything to them.
