I wish I could give you an award, it's so true. I don't know their neighbor but I know my dog was failed and attacked young and I've spent thousands of dollars and countless hours to still break down and sob in my home because my dog still reacts. I agree so much with the being kind because more often than not us with reactive dogs are trying to save their lives (excluding the sucky owners out there).

My dog is super reactive and has been threw over thousands of dollars of training. I don't walk him to desensitize him, I walk him because I live in down town Columbia with no yard. I'm sorry people handle it poorly but my GSD needs to get exercise out, I try to always wait till there's no one and the only time we don't have a lot of distance is when we are coming in and out of our condominium. I definitely don't go in high traffic times for walks except potty breaks tho, I'm not in your area but I hope they are trying to help their reactive pup, it's tough but you have to just adjust your schedule for them.

I definitely get that.
I haven't! I'll go check it out thanks! I've recently started talking to the vet about getting him on medication he is mostly fed by anxiety as well, big dog big energy and all.
