They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren’t confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I’m afraid it’ll get to my birds or dogs.

How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don’t want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.

They’re the only people on the street who don’t have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.

    These people have had the cops called on them for domestic disputes and have daily screaming matches. Also, like 15 mins after posting this, their car got repo’d and the mom lost her mind so bad that the cops came. I went to take my trash out and the cop motioned for me to go back inside as he called for backup

      Don’t talk to them about it.

      Especially if you’re going to call animal control, there’s no point earmarking yourself to be the one they take it out on when their dog gets impounded.

      Judging by what you’ve written in comments about your neighbours, don’t talk to them. Call bylaw. It might take a couple times. If you approach them now and ask them to keep their dog leashed and they don’t listen, and THEN call bylaw, they will know it was you and possibly start targeting you for harassment because they know it was you who “rattled” on them. I’ve seen this happen. It’s not worth the drama and headache. This is sort of what bylaw is for. So neighbours aren’t at each other’s throats.

      Ugh I’m sorry, I feel your pain. I used to have neighbors exactly like that. They were absurdly loud at all hours and had the cops called on them a number of times. I tried being polite: “Hey guys! Hope you’re doing well, just wanted to let you know I have to wake up super early for work, so would it be cool if you kept the volume down after 10pm?” They laughed, slammed the door in my face and cranked up the volume. The only thing that worked was telling the landlord I didn’t feel safe with them as my neighbors (helped that it was 100% true). He evicted them within days after I described all the shit they got up to.
