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.

    Try English. It’s my go-to for communication. If that doesn’t work, try Google translate.

    Also pits don’t actually get huge. They cap out at like 45lbs. They’re just chunky.

      You’re thinking of Staffordshire bull Terriers. American pit bulls can get to 70lbs. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Pit bulls are strong, tough dogs. They can pull the bumpers off of cars like it’s paper. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t the size of a Great Dane, one of even 45 lbs would have no issue getting through chicken wire and killing his birds. The fact his neighbours are letting the dog wander around unsupervised also likely means they aren’t going to bother training the dog properly, which is dangerous with any breed but especially one as strong as the pit bull types. This is a recipe for someone getting their face chewed off.

        Oh yay! My dog is the smol kind!

        I wasn’t really saying that any kind of dog should be just let loose like that.

        I pulled the bumper off my mini like it was paper. I think it might be paper.
