@Ostara oh my, how awful. Hereâs hoping for a better week, and an understanding neighbour
Oh my Gods, @Ostara â thatâs awful! Youâre doing everything right with your dog to protect other dogs from him because you know his behavior. Obviously, Iâm not a dog trainer or anything but I 100% agree with you that your neighbor needs to have his dog under control. Just because Blue is friendly doesnât mean other dogs are, ya know? Hopefully, your neighbor keeps his dog under control and under supervision.
@tracyS and @MeganB I love animals, but my husband and the deputy said pepper spray. It will hurt but it wonât do permanent damage, so when I take him out I have pepper spray in my pocket now. Iâm sure if I spray her with that she will stay in her yard. I hope it wonât come to that. My mail lady didnât deliver a package last Friday because of an âanimalâ. It wasnât my animal. Smh.
Pepper spray sounds like your best option. I know itâs painful, but itâs not permanent (as you said) and it can save everyone from a more damaging encounter!
@Ostara there is nothing worse than someone who lets their dogs run. I am glad you werenât hurt worse.
I think she went to a friends house for a couple of days, but sheâs back. I was sitting outside and I heard her bark.
Oh god Ostara, my beautiful friend. Iâm so soo sorry for all that! I absolutely second Tracyâs words here⊠praying for all things to get smooth nowâŠliterally, itâs just good that you werenât hurt too much. And also what Megan said is actually right! Pepper spray would be perfect. Just consider using it or keeping it with you my love. Stay safe, healthy & happy my dearest, Iâm wishing you a very blessed and soothing Mabon!!
@Ostara i have 2 smallish dogs. Very friendly. I think has one has small dog complex, he kinda puffs out his chest to look bigger haha anyway, my neighbor has a really big and loud dog and really a bit scary. Weâre fortunate that thereâs a fence between our yards. But, when the neighborâs dog comes out my dog goes nuts. He even snarls. He doesnât do that with our neighbors dog on the other side. The neighbors complain about our dogs barking, but they only bark a lot when they let their dog out. Itâs not a good feeling! I hope things get better for you!
Thank you @Solasta_Amore and @Sivonnah. Happy and blessed Mabon!
