New neighbors Pit Bulls - What would you do?

[Baddog40]

About a month ago I had some new neighbors move in next door. Not only are they the loudest motherfuckers on the block with their screaming at each other and their kids, but they have two pit bulls that they leave outside 24 hours a day that bark non stop. Every time me or my dogs are outside in my yard these dogs start growling and literally try to bust through my wood 6ft fence that separates our two yards and half a dozen times I've had to screw pickets back in that they have knocked loose.

So yesterday I'm outside and I hear a loud thump that sounded like someone kicked the fence and I look over and one of these little fucks busted right through the fence and there his head was through the fence growling at us. Of course the dogs owners were outside and yelled at the dog to come, which it did. They didnt apologize, say anything, come fix the fence, nothing. WTF?

So now I don't feel safe in my own damn yard, not to mention my kid or my dogs. I feel like I should call animal control as these dogs are obviously vicious but not sure I want to worry about these degenerates poisoning my dogs or some shit, but this is bullshit and these dogs are getting more brazen and aggressive. Any suggestions?

Dogs respond to dominance. The next time one sticks it's head through the fence go kick the shit out of it. Then again... If you are afraid of them don't they can tell, but it worked for me.

install an electric fence

If its on your land being aggressive toward you or yours a lil .38 s&w or a 9 mm round rite thru that fuckers head will take care of the problem.. Are they owners or renters? It is THEIR responsibility to maintain THEIR dogs.. Haven't seen much on the news about it lately but a dude was just charged with murder cause his dogs got out of the yard and killed a lady.. So yeha I'd shoot the fuckin dog if it came in your yard and the owners haven't even tryed to make it impossible for the dogs to get thru..
My old neighbors had to build a interior chain link fence 2 ft away from mine and burry tow chain under the bottom of the chain link to keep the dogs from digging under.. Took about 6 months for the dogs to give up trying to get to my pitty and rotty.. It's expensive but effective..

first you should try to discuss it with your neighbors.. if you haven't said something to them yet about it, you should do it!

True, but my concern more is my kid or my dogs being outside and one or both of them getting in the yard and attacking. Why the fuck people have these killing machines is beyond me.

i like the "dominance" idea... instead of hitting the dog, which ain't right, id recommend pissing in his face while his head is stuck in the fence, that should teach him a lesson...

best still, reinforce the fence if possible, easiest way without having to deal with the neighbours?

blessss
ps.: some fuqed up shit, ...

There are NO bad dogs, only bad owners. I raised & bred APBT for years. A dog will only do what it's owner allows it to do.
I would go electric on your fence.

Dogs are easy, but so is blaming dogs for having fucked up owners, and the owners you describe sure do sound fucked up.

An approach I used back in the day, while house sitting for a couple weeks, involved the use of food to train the noisy neighbors dog to view me as a provider of delicious treats, rather than a threat to their territory.

Took me about a week before the dog made the connection, and the owners never wondered why their dog suddenly became "friendly" to the dude next door. Knowing what I know now, I bet I could accomplish the same thing in less time.

Good luck regardless.

Feed the dogs some acid and let them tear their owners to pieces. If that's too extreme simply talk to your neighbours, if they fail to heed your warnings, then do whatever you have to and don't regret it.

... stay out of trouble.... contact the city, there are noise ordinance and dog ownership laws... that are probably not being followed ... let the city handle.... it's a civil matter....
keep it that way.....

Pitbulls are snuggle puppies and can make great family pets. It sounds like you've got a stupid people problem. Don't stereotype an entire breed for the actions of a few.

wish i could rep 10 times for that. Pitts are awesome dogs, i don't own one, but gf's mom does, my buds neighbors have 4, several shop owners i'm friendly with have em, many patients i know have em, and god tons of nice pits at the dog park.

Really depends on the hit, I agree peeing while staring would probably be fun. Not so sure about a permanent solution from just that.

hard to say NONE, but damn sure lots of bad owners fucking shit up.

fuck you. this is torturous, and even were it a human killing animal of ANY kind, there's no call for this. Seriously. If you HAVE to kill something, shotgun is quite effective. 8 guage magnum if you are a man. And even then its not your job unless you are under direct attack. FFS try to use the damn noggin u got or it might fall off from disuse. Sorry not trying to flame you, just trying to get across how far from appropriate this is.

I'd still try to hit up the owners first, maybe do a bbq and proffer a few burgers and beers to break the ice. but yeah, if that's a no go, let the people who are payed to handle it deal with it.

Remember, even a VERY aggressive dog deserves his day; as long as no harm actually comes to anyone, hurrah! If i had a serious grow, or really anything serious to protect better believe i would have well trained dogs hanging around discouraging prying eyes and hands.

Really? Cause I'm willing to bet I could treat my two Malamutes like they were in a Nazi Concentration Camp and they would never be capable of ripping someones limbs off like a pit bull did to this lady:

 

[trem0lo]

Don't shoot it, Jesus.

Sounds like the owners raised the dogs just like they raise their kids. Personally I don't waste time talking to people who can't show compassion to their kids or pets.

Call the city and file a noise violation. Do it multiple times, however long it takes. The po-po will eventually come by and investigate which should inspire them to do something, especially if they have something to hide. If they ask you about it (which they probably won't if they choose not to interact with you) just deny it and be friendly.

Talk to neighbor if that dont work call animal control

 

[devilgoob]

Instead of screaming regularly - you can suck air in and sound like a velociraptor/eagle.

Display unwavering dominance and when they turn their head and go to look back and see you're still stanced up, they will again turn the head.

The neighbors seem like they don't listen. Why do people have to be loud and fighting all the time?

They get on the phone and they shrill at their kids, all while bitching about a co-worker like "this bitch bla blah" even though they're a giant one...

Careful with the Animal Control thing, I called about a Fox with mange and the next think I know there's a Cop with a Gun poking around in my back yard...

Around here Animal Control are full blown Cops, just say'n...

I hate hurting innocent animals, however these don't sound so angelic. leave the hole in the fence until you get a high powered nail gun to mend it, ya follow me??? it's not illegal to use a nail gun within city limits.
