how should I tell my new trashy neighbors to keep their puppy off my property (lemmy.world)

They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren't confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I'm afraid it'll get to my birds or dogs.

How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don't want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.

They're the only people on the street who don't have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.

As a person with trashy neighbours who think they own the street, study how they talk to each other when they want something done then talk to them like that.

I tried being civil with my neighbours, but nothing, then one day I had a shitty day and had enough, walked to the edge of my drive, looked directly at their house and screamed " GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT OFF MY SIDE OF THE STREET OR ILL MOVE IT INTO THE FUCKING RIVER!" walked back inside and about 30 minutes later everything was moved, they behave most the time now, but whenever they try shit again I just do the same thing.

If they're also really loud and you can hear general conversations, make sure to repeat something they know they've said, let's them know you know more about them then they do about you.

I am not doing that. I don't want to make enemies of these folks. They've had the cops called on them by a different neighbor once already for a domestic dispute. I have no doubt that they own guns.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It sounds like you have a gun gap

Have you considered buying artillery?

"Please keep your dog off my property"

When that doesn't work, contact animal control? I love dogs but a pit running loose is not going to end well for anyone and if they can't handle their dog then you need to start getting that documented. Just stay polite and try to have empathy for whatever is going on with them to the best of your ability. How sure are you that they are trashy and not just inexperienced with dogs? If this is their first puppy they might just need friendly advice.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

These people have had the cops called on them for domestic disputes and have daily screaming matches. Also, like 15 mins after posting this, their car got repo'd and the mom lost her mind so bad that the cops came. I went to take my trash out and the cop motioned for me to go back inside as he called for backup

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try English. It's my go-to for communication. If that doesn't work, try Google translate.

Also pits don't actually get huge. They cap out at like 45lbs. They're just chunky.

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're thinking of Staffordshire bull Terriers. American pit bulls can get to 70lbs. That's nothing to sneeze at. Pit bulls are strong, tough dogs. They can pull the bumpers off of cars like it's paper. It doesn't matter if they aren't the size of a Great Dane, one of even 45 lbs would have no issue getting through chicken wire and killing his birds. The fact his neighbours are letting the dog wander around unsupervised also likely means they aren't going to bother training the dog properly, which is dangerous with any breed but especially one as strong as the pit bull types. This is a recipe for someone getting their face chewed off.

Oh yay! My dog is the smol kind!

I wasn't really saying that any kind of dog should be just let loose like that.

I pulled the bumper off my mini like it was paper. I think it might be paper.

This is Sasha being mauled by a vicious predator named Cali.

Tell them to keep it off your property and if it happens again, the ol' "rat poison in a sausage" always works.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Advocating poisoning puppies now?

Classy.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

A untrained, unfenced, and unsupervised pit bull is a massive public safety concern. I guess OP could just call the cops to shoot it though.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not the dog's fault.

You might be a disgusting monster, you may want to get that looked at.
