#which is a great experience to try to wrangle GSDs from

[gar-a-ash]

So my neighbor a few weeks back threatened to shoot my dog because he's "terrified of dogs and Reese keeps charging the fence and going onto their property" (not true, if Reese ever does cross over it's maybe by six inches to pee on the fence post) so as a gesture I patched the very tiny gap between the snow fence and property fence and considered the matter done.

Except.

My neighbor has always stared me and my dogs down whenever I'm out with them, which is annoying to all of us, but now he's started using a turkey call to try to bait the dogs into going over there, and while my dogs have a trained Leave It command and will ignore it the fact that he's doing this is infuriating and now I have to make sure I constantly have a camera on me to try to catch him in the act so I can go to the police. I'm losing my fucking mind, for a man that's apparently terrified of dogs the fact that he waits to see if I'm out with them and then comes out to stare at us, and now this, is driving me up the fucking wall. This man has played with Reese when he was a puppy. He knows Reese is a super friendly dog. And where I am I can't do anything about it without evidence, and I KNOW he's trying to bait my dogs into going near the fence so he can shoot them and claim they charged the fence.

This is what I mean when I say certain commands can be life saving, btw. Because my dogs are REALLY having a hard time ignoring that turkey call, especially when he's walking up and down his driveway to taunt them, and without the training they have I have no doubt they would have walked over to see what's up and been hurt.
