Dealing with a rude, entitled neighbor is one thing, but it’s an entirely different headache to live next to an arrogant person who is also an irresponsible dog owner. It can be especially problematic if you have dogs yourself, much like the woman in today’s story.
As she pointed out, the couple from next door not only allowed their dog to act aggressively, but they also caused problems with other neighbors by leaving their pet’s litter on the street and refusing to pick it up.
Fed up with their crass behavior, the woman hatched a petty revenge plot that involved the entire neighborhood. You will find the entire story below, along with its happy ending.

The woman stated that her neighbors refused to acknowledge a problem on their end, despite blatantly allowing their dog to break through the fence and cause trouble. Based on her story alone, it appears that the neighbors’ pet grew up in an unhealthy environment.
According to author and dog trainer Victoria Schade, CPDT-KA, dogs raised in a deprived environment may be too guarded. Their aggression may also be a sign that they endured physical mistreatment.
The author also exposed her entitled neighbors for being irresponsible pet owners, allowing their dog to run amok, while refusing to pick up waste. According to Gulf Coast K9 Training, a dog’s aggression toward other dogs and people may be a sign that they are poorly trained.
“A dog who is not properly socialized will eventually gain confidence and act out on their feelings of insecurity or territorialism,” Gulf Coast K9 owner Jillian Vogel wrote.
However, the bigger problem here appears to be the arrogance of the couple, who seem to show no care for their neighbors. And if you ask most experts, they will agree that showing respect and establishing a good rapport helps keep a peaceful environment.
And if there is a problem, addressing it like adults through a sensible conversation would be the recommended course of action. However, a slightly different approach is required if the issue becomes recurring.
“It’s easier to solve if it’s a one-time thing, but if it’s ongoing, you should document every aspect of the conflict,” real estate broker Jennifer Roberts told Better Homes & Gardens.
The woman documented her neighbors’ actions using video evidence, which helped strengthen her case with the community leader. She also handled the problem without stooping to their level, which was commendable in itself.

My neighbor moved in 7 years ago (mine trained, hers a trainwreck and total cuties) We went the other route - helped her with her dogs and all the neighbors lived happily ever after
It’s not a pet it’s a member of your family. Treat it like a baby that can’t talk or doesn’t know better unless you teach them. Care for animals before they are all gone.
