Neighbours send rottweiler out when my asd child plays!

[cookiesandmilk]

I really have to encourage my child to go outside. But just recently he has been going out more. Just it concerns me that nearly everytime I hear the neighbours open their back door they send the dog out which constantly barks at my child. They make no attempt to stop it and my child gets scared. I don't know why they do it as my son isn't particularly loud outside, possibly quieter than the average child. He just does do a lot of stimming with his arms. When I go outside on my own they don't send the dog out. What could I do to stop my son being scared. I also daren't approach the neighbours as they aren't the approachable type!

@MarylandMayhem I can't believe any sort of a decent person would consider killing some ones dog in an awful way, and see it is a last resort for the better of people. You do realise feeding a big bar of chocolate could have no effects on a big dog, aside Gastroenteritis or similar, could have acute effects such as vomiting and seizures but not kill the dog, or the dog appear fine but years later die slowly from organ failure. But yet you think you've done the right thing?

I knew there was a reason I don't look at the general threads on here!!

You'd actually do it? Jesus Christ. You vile creature

Yes, if I thought there was a very high chance of my child being attacked by one and the owners refused to do anything about it. Last resort.

You are vile for suggesting that a dog should be killed.

Plenty of dogs get PTS if too vicious to be rehabilitated and rehomed.

Anyway, the OP has the chance to put up a fence etc so it's incredibly unlikely it would come to that.

@cookiesandmilk

The neighbours would know when I go outside as my son repeats sets of words at the door when we go outside. I can hear my neighbours talking in the garden when I'm indoors. I may see if my area has a dog warden for advice too. They don't walk the dog but the garden is big. I have a paddling pool outside, bubbles, chalk etc I now just want to have my son feel safe in the garden.

I think the dog warden would probably wonder why you hadn't spoken to your neighbours about it first before contacting them. If I had a dog warden knocking on my door because my neighbour hadn't come round and spoken to me first I'd be pretty annoyed. At least if you write a note or go and speak to them first you can say you've already tried.

@Schoenes
The poor dog. Just tell your kid to behave in the garden, problem solved.

How is he not behaving ffs?

Have you read the thread?

Also @MarylandMayhem who said the dog was viscous and would attack? Just because it barks doesn't mean its viscous. The OP is making a lot of assumptions because she won't speak to her neighbours. You clearly are very uneducated and ignorant about dogs.

@Savingshoes really??? So you'd let your child interact with a dog you don't know, who may have triggers and who has clearly not been properly trained??? I really hope not...

Plenty of dogs get PTS if too vicious to be rehabilitated and rehomed.

Well that's not what is happening here so maybe give some constructive advice or leave the thread as you clearly are just a dog hater who assumed a barking dog must be evil suggesting killing a dog slowly and painfully even as a last resort is fucking awful and you know it.

Dog apologists out in force again I see.

@MarylandMayhem I've heard it all now. I hope most people are more decent than that.

@GreytExpectations I said if the dog is vicious. I also said it would be a last resort.

I'm not some monster who enjoys harming animals

I don't see that at all @cheesyrats I see plenty of dog haters offering useless and frankly dangerous advice such as feeding the dog or using money wasting dog deterrent, PP even suggesting poisening the dog. But I also see actual dog owners offering decent advice like speaking to the neighbours and suggesting the barking doesn't nesesarily mean aggressive. The OP has plenty of options but doesn't seem to want to do any of them

[quote MarylandMayhem]**@GreytExpectations* I said if* the dog is vicious. I also said it would be a last resort.

Actually, you very clearly are. Even as a last resort that is unnecessarily cruel. A barking dog doesn't equal viscous. It's badly trained and likly lacking in excercise but doesn't deserve to die a slow and painful death

Write a note, put it on google translate and select Lithuanian. Then put it through their door.

@MarylandMayhem You need to educate yourself if you think a PTS is in the same league as chocolate toxicity, where if the dog dies it will be slowly following vomiting, diarrhoea, seizures, heart failure etc.

I am not excusing the dog either, although it may be harmless barking you don't just know and obviously need to protect your child. The way to do that is a secure fence and speaking to your neighbours, or writing to them, and contacting your local dog warden.

Some people are quite rude, I will at some point speak with the neighbours when an appropriate opportunity arises. I just want advice as I don't have a dog and to be fair where I used to live the dogs either side weren't an issue. Quite lovely to be honest and my son would stroke them. I am trying to get knowledge of others experience with this sort of thing so that I am able to resolve the issue. To the rudeness of the vile person who commented on stimming. If u educated yourself and found acceptance in difference u may one day find happiness in ur empty existence. I find my son's stims sweet and know he is expressing his emotions in a more visible way. I also won't leave my son unattended in the garden for safety and also because I enjoy spending time with him.

@MarylandMayhem

Of course it doesn't, but if the owners have allowed it to become vicious and don't give a fuck that it could attack a child very easily then it's best if the dog isn't alive

There is absolutely no evidence of this, or anything like it. And if there were, it would need dealing with by a professional, not a tosser with a bar of Bourneville.

@MarylandMayhem is there a bar of anything that would work on you? You sound particularly vicious and aggressive

So if there was a dog you felt was one day going to hurt or even kill your own child you'd not do anything? I mean if you'd tried everything possible but nothing had worked, a true last resort

Pet corrector spray. Amazon. Your son can spray it when the dog barks at him. Works a treat.

My dogs are not allowed to bark at any of our neighbours and know not to bark, they sometimes have a quiet grumble to get it out of their systems (they bark at people knocking at the doors and perceived possible threats, totally normal and acceptable dog behaviour). I cannot understand how people just let their dogs bark incessantly. No self awareness whatsoever

No intention of harming the dog either! I may also try and get a mediation service due to the language barrier. I don't really want to knock their door at the moment due to social distancing etc. So was hoping to see them at a distance to speak not that I think it will be of any effect so I want to explore other options.

If there is an actual dangerous dog than I would report it to authorities and take measures to ensure my child is kept safely away from the dog while the owner is being investigated. No, I would not slowly torture a dog to death because unlike you, I have a heart.

Rude evil cunts report them to the council

Well that wouldn't be a last resort position then, would it?

Do you not understand the meaning of the phrase?
