Your neighbor may remind the dog of something from it's past which evokes a negative response. Sad to say, it can be very hard to determine what that variable is.

However, with all due respect, you should never leave your dog unattended, left to roam with no supervision outside of your house.

I won't even touch having the dog ride in the back of a pickup truck. I've just seen too many idiots letting thier dogs ride in back of a pickup truck speeding down the interstate doing 80 mph zooming in and out of traffic.

I would either put up a fence to keep Red in your yard, or find a new dog.

One reason why we have an acutal application form, and do a home inspection on where the dog will be living. Too many dogs are picked up by people who want a dog, but don't want the responsibility.

I had a nieghbor one time renting a palce 2 doors down from me and he was taking care of one of his friends dogs, it was a german bull mastof, or something like that and the dog thought he ruled the nieghborhood. One day i got a call from the wife, it sounded like someone had died she was so scared, all she could say is that dog has got to go. Here it urn out that the dog chased my kid from the bus up to the house, it got to the point where she could no longer go outside with the kids cause the dog would chase her back to the house, I couldn't even work on my fence near the nieghbors house cause of it. The shreif dept. was called and they did all they could to keep the dog home and contact the owners to come get the dog out of here cause the kid taking care of it was not responsible enough to keep it contained, on day i was working in my barn and i saw the dog run up to my house chasing my wife inside, so i shot it in the head with my .22 and the dog just shook its head and ran away. A couple days later the dog was still outside roaming around harassing us so that night I went over to the nieghbors to confront him about it, since the deputys could never get ahold of him, he was at the bar of course, and the dog came after me in his yard so I shot it again. The dog ran into the house, and I'm not going to tell you what happened next, but the guy comes home at 1:30 in the morning after the bars close to find the dog dead. The sheriff dept. was called and i big huploa was made when the owners found out what happened to their pour innocente dog. They made me out to be some crule heartless bastard, and I was charged with felony damage to property. After going to court about 4 time i ended up pleading guilty and paying a $280 find and $2000 restitution. All because the druged out alcoholic couldn't take care of a dog. I feel bad about it but I would do it again just a little differntly, least I know that dog won't rip the face off or bite a little kid. I'm sure your dog is nothing like the dog that i encountered i just wanted to share a story of one of my missfortunes with a bad dog and an even worse owner.

Seems simple...Build a fence, keep the dog and have good nieghbors.

If the nieghbor has already spoke to you, I think it will esculate, since he felt the need to speak to you in the first place.

I would rather fence a dog in a 20x20 pen rather to tie him to a chain, besides if you fence your yard in, you wont have to worry about a nieghbors dog getting to your kids/stuff ect tra

1 of our dogs can get a little aggressive with strangers. Ours stay in all day. We have a pet sitter come and let them out mid-day in a fenced in area. seems to work well, though its a little expensive, but no problems. As has been mentioned, dog bites can be costly. We have a neighbor who lets his roam, they are not aggressive, though they like chickens, ducks and guinea hens. he has lost at least a couple in the road. I'm not the kind of person that would normally shoot a nuisance dog, though I have thought about it. An aggressive one might not be so lucky.

Personally, i always trust the dog, but i control the situation. If i am out and about, the dog is out and about. She has saved me from my own stupidity more times than i can count. But home alone? She is in the kennel in the house. Like her too much to leave it up to chance.

Just 2 cents.
