We've been in our new house for just over a month and have had 4 incidences with their dog:
- dog barged its way in to our garden through the gate as we were returning home, scaring 3yo dd. I order the dog out just as neighbour turns up.
- dog tries to barge its way in through our front door, kids are screaming this time, neighbour just keeps on yakking to her friend while i am leg blocking the dog, cant close the door on as he will get in as i try to nip in. Neighbour comes and grabs dog, doesn't say a word.
- dog comes running up to kids outside our house, kids screaming again, neighbour does the 'shes a big old softy' routine. I herd kids inside.
this one has really pissed me off 4). We are walking back from school, we just turn into the large shared driveway, dog starts running at us, barking its head off over about a 40ft distance, again i block the dog, kids are screaming in terror, neighbour calls dog away without a word to me.
we have fallen out with our neighbour already over parking and the word about the estate is that she is a right nasty cow so i am not keen to go to her door and complain.
would you report the dog? I'm 99% sure i will report it as im sick of the fucking thing scaring my kids, its taken years to get ds over his dog fear and this bloody dog has undone it all, id just like some other opinions before i add the last 1%.
its a golden retriever if that's relevant.
