[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have fostered dogs for years. The behavior you describe is called fear reactivity. I don't think you're in any danger, but I understand why you find the behavior so disconcerting. I have small dogs that will lunge and bark in a similar manner, but they are 10 pounds and under so they just look silly, whereas a much larger dog with a high prey drive and a powerful jaw will seem menacing--and has the potential to do more harm. The neighbors should consult an animal behaviorist/trainer and work on changing the behavior but it can take months of training to address the behavior and frankly most people just won't put in the time or effort. Since no-one can compel your neighbor to do anything about the situation, I don't think it's unreasonable that you feel like moving. [/quote]
