Thanks for the responses. Couple points, and questions.

Bruce, you're right.... it is up to me, and Gage shouldn't dictate who's a threat and who's not, I should. I agree with you 100%.

So what do I do about it? Gage is a tad "big" and not a house dog. He comes in on occasion, but for the most part, lives outside. Bringing him inside, if he barks, doesn't make sense to me at all. That seems like rewarding him.

I'd have to read up on the "enough" command. He's a well trained dog, (at least basics, heel, sit, stay, etc..." but I don't know how to teach "enough" or stop. Of course, if I go out there and tell him to stop, he will.... but I can't be on beck and call at all times, nor do I know when my neighbor will come outside at any given moment.

Oh, and by the way, Gage is NOT feeding off my emotions on my feelings for this guy. This started, and I was so open and cool with this guy about fixing the problem.... like if it were any other straner, or heck, even a friend. I had no ill feelings towards this guy. It was only after I suggested he meet Gage that he was an ass, at that point, sure, I formed an opinion about him.... but not beforehand.
