They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren’t confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I’m afraid it’ll get to my birds or dogs.
How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don’t want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.
They’re the only people on the street who don’t have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.
“Please keep your dog off my property”
When that doesn’t work, contact animal control? I love dogs but a pit running loose is not going to end well for anyone and if they can’t handle their dog then you need to start getting that documented. Just stay polite and try to have empathy for whatever is going on with them to the best of your ability. How sure are you that they are trashy and not just inexperienced with dogs? If this is their first puppy they might just need friendly advice.
These people have had the cops called on them for domestic disputes and have daily screaming matches. Also, like 15 mins after posting this, their car got repo’d and the mom lost her mind so bad that the cops came. I went to take my trash out and the cop motioned for me to go back inside as he called for backup
Try English. It’s my go-to for communication. If that doesn’t work, try Google translate.
Also pits don’t actually get huge. They cap out at like 45lbs. They’re just chunky.
You’re thinking of Staffordshire bull Terriers. American pit bulls can get to 70lbs. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Pit bulls are strong, tough dogs. They can pull the bumpers off of cars like it’s paper. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t the size of a Great Dane, one of even 45 lbs would have no issue getting through chicken wire and killing his birds. The fact his neighbours are letting the dog wander around unsupervised also likely means they aren’t going to bother training the dog properly, which is dangerous with any breed but especially one as strong as the pit bull types. This is a recipe for someone getting their face chewed off.
Oh yay! My dog is the smol kind!
I wasn’t really saying that any kind of dog should be just let loose like that.
I pulled the bumper off my mini like it was paper. I think it might be paper.
This is Sasha being mauled by a vicious predator named Cali.
Tell them to keep it off your property and if it happens again, the ol’ “rat poison in a sausage” always works.
It’s not the dog’s fault.
You might be a disgusting monster, you may want to get that looked at.
🥱
Advocating poisoning puppies now?
Classy.
A untrained, unfenced, and unsupervised pit bull is a massive public safety concern. I guess OP could just call the cops to shoot it though.
Keep in mind the only bad thing about pitbulls is they’re bull-headed: They’ll barrel in to things and can be rough simply because they’re hyper little weirdos, not violent killing machines. Roughness can be misconstrued as violence, even in humans (ask me how I know!).
I say all that to mean … maybe also befriend the dog regardless of what happens. If you’re nicer to him than the “trashy” owners, he’ll listen to you better and maybe be nicer to the stuff he thinks is yours regardless of what the owners do.
You seem like one of those people who own pit bull types just to act self righteous about it. They are dangerous animals (and it’s our fault as humans for breeding that into them), there is more to them than just being “bull headed”.
Nice bigotry and assumptions. Pathetic. I have boston terriers. I’m sorry you’re judgemental about things you don’t know. It will not serve you well in life.
I somehow knew you’d pull the “you’re a dog racist!” card. Hopefully your dogs never encounter a poorly controlled pittie. It’s a really horrible sight to see what they’re capable of.
A family friend’s pitbull chewed the ear off of someone’s toddler because it wanted to play with him. The best way to deal with a dangerous dog you don’t own is to ignore it and have the owners deal with it. The last thing you want is the dog liking you more than its owners, spending more time in your yard, then deciding to ‘play’ with the ducks.
