Neighbour with bully dog always off lead?

Neighbour in apartment building always lets her American bulldog off the leash; when it sees you, it charges over and jumps on you.

She laughs and acts unaware, thinking the dog is her child.

My daughter has been knocked over by it three times so far, and the most recent time it nipped her nose, not breaking the skin but making it red and she looked really frightened and shaken up.

She made me carry her inside our apartment today because she was afraid to come home from school and see the dog.

The dog scratched the child's mother yesterday and also jumped on another toddler, knocking her over.

Although the dog is still a puppy, it is already strong, and no one has ever seen it with the lead.

What can we do to get this woman to give the dog a lead? If the breed is not prohibited, will the police take any action?

The woman is tiny and can’t control the dog, plus she has an autistic child living in that property.

Please give me tips on how to make her change her behaviour.

Meaning you have to ask their permission to have a dog in your property.

She has not got her dog under control at all times. Her dog jumps up on people and knocks over toddlers. That is not enough for you to take action?

Tell her, that you and your daughter are scared and you want her dog to be on a leash.
Call a dog warden at your local council.
Report to the police that the dogs is not controlled by their owner.

By not dealing with it now, you will allow the dog to become even more uncontrollable and possibly dangerous.

It might need to be put down in the future, but you could prevent it by acting now.
