| Re: what should i do about loose dogs?
Unfortunately, you cannot control the actions of irresponsible owners. I would suggest that you first speak with your neighbor about the issue (it is the neighborly thing to do). If it happens again, warn the neighbor that you will take steps (animal control) to insure you and your dog's safety. Then, if it persists, contact the authorities.
I have found that most people will respond positively to calm positive interactions, and will take steps to avoid causing discomfort to their neighbors. However, if you have one of those neighbors that does not respond well, don't be afraid to contact the authorities.
Good luck. |
