[quote=Anonymous]You shouldn’t have to worry about exiting your house and it’s perfectly okay to not want a barking dog running toward you or your children. Regardless of size.

I have a small dog that would bark at people if they walked past our property (not on walks). I had to put in the work to train him to stay. He might get out one bark, but I promptly tell him no and he does not run towards anyone anymore.

Some people baby small dogs. I admit I did it initially too, but realized that it was doing my dog no favors. I would not allow that behavior with my bigger dog,  it’s not okay with a small dog either. Dog manners are dog manners regardless of size.

Let the neighbor know that you are very uncomfortable with their dog running and barking at you and your kids. That you’ve been patient for several months given that it was a new puppy but that you can no longer tolerate not wanting to exit your house in fear of their dog.

It is not your job to befriend a barking and running dog. It is the owners job to raise a properly trained dog.
