Our neighbours have a very energetic pointer. It comes into our garden several times a week, barks and growls at us, comes into our drive when we have deliveries, barks and growls and bounds around us when we walk down the shared track with the neighbours. When the dog was a puppy, we were more tolerant of it as they have a couple small children (and nanny), and well, pandemic.
When I wrote a note to ask them to control their dog better, I was met by a complaint that our cat sometimes sits on their windowsill and that their cat and our cat fight. Er….
Our properties are very rural, and there are acres of fields that dog can run in, which it does, often without the owners knowing….they are on the hunt for the dog all the time. madly calling and whistling after it, and it just…runs away, or runs back and into our garden until we yell after it and chase it back to their house. We have a newly laid hedge that the dog can get into. Our neighbour complains if we do literally anything to the house, so a fence would probabyl not go down too well.
AIBU to complain to them about this, and secondly to get in touch with the dog warden about it if they don’t do anything?. They said they were eventually going to fence their property better, but we’ve been putting up with this for about 18 months. Thanks
