Ugh. Stupid neighbor driving me bonkers.
I get it bro. You’re a 60yo EMT who has had dogs before in his life, and I’m a 34 old chick who owns a dog with a scary bark that is a bully breed. I get it.
My dog is a staffy. He is a giant bag of genetically predisposed anxiety who starts looking aggressive at a maximum distance of 30ft from your dog/you.
He is not trying to dominate you through the fence. He is not trying to show you that he is more alpha than you.
You are not Cesar Milan - and even if you were, I’d still tell you that my dog is being aggressive because he’s scared rather than attempting to “show you who’s boss”.
You are not the most “up to date” on dog training, and when I tell you that I’m going to listen to his behaviorist - you know, the one that went to school and actually understands dogs and HOW THEIR BRAINS WORK - instead of your stupid idea of just letting him go insane at the fence so you can get closer. I’m not going to change my stance because “my nieces dog was exactly the same until I got on the ground and she could see I wasn’t dangerous and now she loves me.”
I don’t fucking care - he will put your head in his mouth, regardless of how much you think your aura makes a difference.
Tell me again that he is doing it because he KNOWS you’re an alpha male and you WILL fight back. I will punch you in the fucking face and see how alpha you are.
Also, your idea that your little yappy piece of shit is this extremely well behaved dog because he doesn’t bark when you’re around is a joke. He is fucking terrified of you, and also has separation anxiety, evidenced by the constant howling the second you or your wife drive away.
Keep your shit to yourself - I don’t need your help.
