I have found the best way to deal with them is as harshly as possible. Make the punishment fit the crime I say. Some are afraid of what they may sneak around and do but I like to take the fight to them. <br />When a neighbor commented that our GSD looked ferocious, I smiled and said he was gentle as a lamb but don't ever tick me off as I didn't have a problem with leaving people bloody and broken. He now has a new respect for GSD's and their owners. When they fear the owner more than the GSD they tend to watch the owner more carefully and their focus is no longer on the dog. <br />I had a neighbor who used to direct his little foo foo to poop on my lawn. After asking him several times to clean up after his dog I got a response similar to that in the post. So I scooped up all of foo foo's poop, carried it to his house and tossed it in his swimming pool. I let him know if it continued I would be happy to return foo foo's poop to him and didn't mind cleaning up after his dog being the dog lover I am. The abuse stopped.<br />Did I mention that just maybe some of our dog's poop may have been mixed in by mistake? <br />Or the woman who complained our dogs barked too much. It wasn't our dogs at all but someone else's dogs who were barking. Our dogs rarely bark. She insisted it was our dogs until I suggested she get off her lazy ass and go check it out herself. She no longer talks to me but I consider that something good. I could have been nasty but chose to be tactful instead. Oops, better get out of the way, here comes that tank again. <br />Seems to me that neighbors from hell need to be dealt with harshly. Placating them does not seem to work. They are all ready hemorrhoids so really what's to lose. If you smile nicely when you talk direct to them it carries more weight. My neighbor thought I enjoyed tossing poop into his pool. My other neighbor thought I got enjoyment from stomping people. Leaves them wondering what you do for enjoyment or if you are a little crazy. That is a good thing that they wonder and keeps them on their toes..Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263413130171705126noreply@blogger.com
