 Neighbor problem with dog
It's very obvious that Chewie can't take stress very well. As a matter of fact, although I'm 85% sure the drooling and trembling episode was a sting or a bite ('specially since she's allergic to a few bugs) I'm not convinced it wasn't made worse because of that #$#$#$ neighbor with his #E$#$# dog. (sorry, I'm pretty angry after months of this!!)
He teases her. The second he sees my daughter (no filter) myself or my husband he takes off from being within friggin' two feet. To top it off this jerk does this MANY times a day. on Friday, around 20-30 minutes before this episode, he was there, and she wasn't like usual, either. She was trembling from head to foot! She usually gets upset, and i'm not saying that was the first time- just not usually such a violent reaction. I've SAID to leave our window, and my daughter will actually call him names. Yes, it's uncalled for, but he's not stopping. Chewie is getting upset, and now will freak out about any one passing, even well away from us. I just need some constructive ideas on what the heck to do, as this is our first home. I don't want more neighbor issues. I can't get him for trespassing. It's a town home. He's outside our yard lot.
Her Trainer assures me that her being so in-tune with me and so highly sensitive is a good service dog trait, it just makes me upset and more than a little angry FOR her. She doesn't deserve that, and this guy is a real piece of work. |
