[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor has a very aggressive dog and I am very afraid it will bite me. I have done nothing to aggravate it. I am not sure what to do.

I live in a townhouse community. The neighbor has a belgian malanois or german shepherd dog that has been very aggressive to me and other people in the neighborhood. It has lunged and barked at me while walking on the street. The neighbor told it to stop and that worked. The guy’s wife walks it and has less control over it. It looks like the dog pulls her down the street.

It barks and lunges at me from their ground floor window. I see and hear its nails hit the window. This is a daily occurrence.

I can”t avoid it because the doors are side by side. I take a different walking trail to avoid them in the afternoon and evening.

It barks at the children playing in the street, other neighbors, cars, and other dogs.

The neighbor is not particularly nice and I don’t feel comfortable talking to them. The HOA and the City of Alexandria don’t seem to address this situation unless one is actually bitten. I am concerned the neighbor might lose control of the dog during a walk or accidentally get out their door and attack. The dog seems triggered by everything. I’d appreciate any advice. I am ready to move away because it is such a bad situation.[/quote]

I am the poster from the other thread who crates her dog with small child guests.  This is an actual situation to be wary about.

I would send a certified letter raising my concerns about the dog.  Not the window stuff, but the outside stuff.  At least then you’d have a paper trail if you get bitten and they might get more control of this dog.

The small woman with the dog out of control is a real safety concern.  The rest is not as much.[/quote]
