[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op. It is a small breed puppy with short legs, so right now I don’t think he can climb up the steps yet or maybe he can ( I don’t know). He always runs towards us leashed or unleashed when we leave the front door, and our front doors are 10 feet away only. My neighbor sometimes like to hang out at their front door.  I used to talk to neighbor before covid time & before they have puppy, we stay at home most of the time these days.

I think because I never pat the puppy or let him smell me or he senses my fears, so he does not know that we are harmless. I am fine with a calm big dog on a leash walk passing me on sidewalk, but I am nervous when an energetic dog runs/jumps/barks at me even though they maybe friendly.  I & my 2 children freeze when the puppy runs toward us barking, but I would say he goes back to his owner right away once owner calls his name a few times. He is on leash sometimes, but that leash is long for him to get closer to us since we live in townhouse (only like 10 feet away). I grew up in a populated city with high rise buildings, and no one I know have pets like dogs or cats.

I am fine, but now I peep through the side window to make sure that puppy is not around before I exit the front door. [/quote]

Can you can sense your fear. I think you should not have to always look outside your window before going out. That is not fair to you. You should ask your neighbors to keep the dogs on a short leash so that it does not go on your property or able to reach you. That is not unreasonable.

Can I also give you some well-meaning advice? Do what you can to not pass along your fears to your kids. They also pick up on it.[/quote]
