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.

If you can, get some photos and/or videos of the puppy on your property to show animal control.

We had a similar issue with our neighbors (except several adult dogs coming into our yard). We tried asking nicely, we tried appealing to them as fellow pet owners (don’t want our dogs to hurt each other), we tried yelling.

In the end we had to call the police (no animal control in our area), and the officer asked if we had any photos so he could see which dogs it was.
