Neighbors dog issue..

[roosterpaul]

As far as the suggestion to call the police, the OP may want to think about that twice. The first person those dealers are going to suspect of reporting them is their nearest neighbors. THere's no reason for her to risk her safety like that. She should just live-trap the dog in question, and take it to a pound several counties over. No danger, no risk, no conflict.

Edited to remove personal feelings about a person laughing over their dogs scaring people repeatedly.

I just saw this - sorry Pele! I know, it was irresponsible of me. But see what just the threat of punishment did? Embarrassed me, made me think of the consequences, made me change my actions.

I, however, think it is cruel and unreasonable to remove a dog from its owner when there is no obvious abuse going on and subjecting it to what will most likely be death.

Different strokes, I guess...

I'd put up at least a game cam to capture shenanigans.

Myself, when I'm in the yard working I always have a handgun on my side. People drive around sometimes casing out places prior to returning to break in. If they see an armed homeowner then it is considered a hard target and not one to mess with as the resulting penalty could be quite high. The baddest person on the block doesn't always have to be the noisiest.
