My neighbors dog keeps attacking us in Hartford.

Submitted by Pancrat t3_yb5x7x in Connecticut

I already phoned the police to put it on the record, don't expect them to do much but I figured a paper trail of complaints about this thing is for the best. My neighbor has a fenced in backyard, and yet they let their dogs out unleashed in the front at night. I've been attacked by one twice now. To be fair, if the dogs were disciplined I'd have no issue-but if it was a larger dog I'd probably have injuries right now. Tonight I had to kick at the dog to keep it away from my older, smaller dog and I got called disrespectful... For having my dog attacked and telling them to control theirs in a raised voice while upset. "My dog doesn't bite" The dogs literally hanging off my ankle.

Also, to be fair, my dog isn't friendly with other dogs but HE'S ON A LEASH. So I'm very impatient about having to deal with these confrontations. Pepe (my dog) was 'rescued' from a dogfighting mill so he's pretty offput by other dogs-what can I do.

​

There's a lot of underlying shit when you're dealing with civil problems in Hartford, you never really know what someone is like and the police have way worse problems going on.

​

I guess this is really an extension of a 'paper trail' more then anything else.

​

Their house is two doors down, and their dog has ran clear across the neighborhood to get to us before if you're thinking just avoid it.

​

Pepe needs exercise to stay healthy, also to not be attacked by a dog whose owners can't be bothered to leash him or idk clean shit out of the backyard? It's fenced in!

Carry dog repellent. I have one that is a horn and another which is basically pepper spray.

I feel for you, that's total bullshit about letting there dogs outside the fence and not being on leash, that's total dirtbad shit. Good on you for rescuing you're dog. Whish I had the answers for you but unfortunately I don't have any, other than keep calling the police at least get that paper trail

It is one of those situations that just sucks and you have to change shit on your end to resolve even though that means I don’t walk my dog if they’re out and pick him up if I have to but they can just live freely. That sucks.

If animal control or the police come they’re going to kill it anyway.

You know what must be done

Title would suggest you stop going to Hartford because he seems to find you there.

Seriously tho, call animal control.

Go to cabelas and get the big can of bear spray.

Give the owner a warning and then it's on him.

I'm not going to be attacked by a dog more than once. 2nd time is fatal.

It's your right and duty to Defend your property and protect your dog.

Carry an air horn. My dad does this when he walks our dog bc it was attacked by another dog once and it scares the shit out of approaching animals.
