Got home last night at about 10pm to find my 2 dogs very overexcited for some reason. Then this morning I went outside to find a number of rocks on our patio, along with a bit of a children's toy and a piece of wood.
I suspect our neighbours were throwing them at our dogs, who were outside in the garden all afternoon / evening. For a bit of context, we live in a row of 1930s semis / terrace houses all with identical reasonable-sized long narrow gardens. The dogs have kennels outside and are usually out all day and while one of the dogs is a bit excitable and barks at people at the door they don't bark very much - just at birds and pigeons occasionally. Our other neighbours have said they never hear them.
The neighbours I suspect of throwing things can often be heard in the afternoon getting drunk and smoking weed (I think they're marginally employed), often with friends and playing music, so it's not like they never make any noise either.
I don't know them well but in general we get along so I don't want to go in all guns blazing but if they've been throwing things at my dogs I want to address it up front and stop it. Incidentally, one of the dogs was sick this morning (very unusual for her) so I don't know if they might have thrown something over she ate as well.
Has anyone got any advice on how I tackle this with them?
