But I would file a complaint to the Police so there is a record. If you can't resovle anything with the neighbor?? Maybe he sleeps at that time and some adjustments need to be made? Or he could just be sour

Yes, we did the police route. We do have the cameras that we are setting up and the audios. He doesn't work at all and is a younger person.

One thing is, I would never display it, since that would be seriously egging this sociopath neighbor on, and you don't want to do anything to set this guy off emotionally.

Depends on the State. Dog is property some States you can protect your property with lethal force. Some States you will be prosecuted for shooting someone for hurting your dog. I'm just saying know your laws. If they are killing your dog you may need to jump in between and take a hit. You then reluctanly draw your weapon because you fear for your life.

Sucks. How can he survive without work? Better off just to give them a little area nearby.You can keep an eye on whats there.

Gosh I feel so badly for any of you going through this kind of torture on your own property!

I can't understand people. What ticks in a head that believes it's ok to hurt and kill. Such rage and anger. Seems like they just really get off on intimidating. Makes you think, if they act like that to other people they don't even know, what is going on inside their own place!

Yes it is very sad that we can't enjoy our own yard. He plays music loud a lot of times, but I don't let it bother me. We have spoken to the police regarding the threat to kills our girls.

I would definitely always go out with the dogs to supervise closely, nasty neighbor or not. Sorry you are going through this.

We have privacy fencing between his and our yard. We also have several tall trees. We will continue to go out with the girls. Thank you for your Advice. I want to hear any and all advice.

I know you are on high alert when you take your dog's out, but you be careful for your self as well.

He might very well be a miserable person. He has only lived here about three or four months, therefore we don't know him.
Yes, we ARE on high alert for both our dogs and ourselves. The unknown/unexpected can be threatening in itself.

They told me not to verbally respond to him and that I could tape what he was screaming at us.

I don't know what Castle Doctrine laws are, however I have never carried a gun nor do I want to shoot one. I used to go fishing a lot when I was younger, but not so much anymore bc I don't want to hurt the fish. Lol.

My back yard is "fenced and cross fenced" to keep them from even going anywhere near that side of the yard because I am so fearful poisoned meat will be tossed over the fence....not because my babies bark, but just because they are my babies and I reported the thugs when they shot out my car windows and it pizzed them off. I have the 9 camera security system, I also have a laser system that throws beams across the yard, so that if anyone comes over the fence, they will break the beam and an alarm will sound inside the house. I have every thing else you listed...my privacy fence is 8 feet tall, but that wonty keep them from throwing stuff over tthe fence. My babies do not go out into the "big yard" where I have all their ecercise equipment and fun activity center set up, until I do a complete and thorough sweep of the yard on that side of the house. I set up swimming pools over here by the patio area....the babies all stay over here in this area, where the thugs can not access.......I have this area covered by concrete and flag stones, so it is easier for me to see stuff on the ground......it is pretty dad gum sad when we have to be terrified for the safety of our kids and animals.....and even our homes, as this thug "of mine" was caught setting the local elementary school on fire.

I totally feel for you. One thing that you mentioned that we don't have is the laser system. Could you please elaborate on this system;ie brand name, where u got it, cost and any additional information.

I will keep you, your dogs and and family in my thoughts and my prayers. Blessings to you and yours.

I can understand that. I hate the idea too, but I was sure glad I had one when someone tried to kick in my door to rob the place a couple of years ago. Luckily for him (and for me too) his attempt failed and he ran off when he saw or heard me up right after the attempt.

I was just merely pointing out to the other poster that u shouldn't carry a gun without knowing the laws in your state

DH just came inside. He informed me the police is on their way. DH was outside doing yard work, our little girls are inside.....the neighbor starts screaming at DH again about our dogs and they are in our house and I haven't heard a peep from them for hours. He is also screaming about our security light and our house alarm system. He is causing my stomach to churn and giving me heart palpitations.
