Not-neutered Neighbor Dogs

I'm only on here occasionally, this is kind of more of a rant than anything but I wanted to know if other people have experienced this same issue and what your reaction was...

 We have a sweet, extraordinarily well-behaved 4 month old lab/shepherd mix that we love very dearly.  She isn't spayed yet, we have an appointment in a couple of days to ask the vet when we should schedule it.  I know it's generally between 4 and 6 months.  Anyway, a couple of days ago, I was walking her in the grassy common area on a leash when my neighbor's un-neutered and un-leashed boxer ran at her, jumped on her, and tried to mount her.  I quickly pulled her away and picked her up before anything happened.  Needless to say, I absolutely lost it and yelled at him about neutering his dog - especially when the owner just said "no hump" and stood there instead of pulling his dog off.  Our apt complex has leash rules but clearly they're not enforced.  Should I report him?  I don't want to create enemies but we're leaving in a month or two to move into a house anyway.  

My puppy was fine, more confused than anything, but I was MAD.  What would y'all have done in this situation? 

Re: Not-neutered Neighbor Dogs

  • humping can be a sign of dominance also and since your female is 4 months old that is my guess as to what the other dog was doing. It still doesn't make the situation ok in my opinion. I personally would make sure the owner new that I found that behavior inappropriate and next time I would be forced to report him for having his dog off leash.

  • Other dogs hump my male dog b.c. he is so submissive.  If people don't acknowledge it, I body block and if I feel uncomfortable I yell, "Get your dog off of my dog!"

    It's not really your place to tell them to neuter their dog, although I understand the temptation.  I would just tell him politely and calmly that my dog does not like being humped and if he can't control his dog I will report them to management.

     

    I'm past the point of giving a *** whether my neighbors like me when it comes to animal ownership.

  • there is nothing about to worry related to that. many dogs may have same problem. but dogs are one of the most better pets in the world. i also fave 4 months old dog. he used to do these things.

    It's a spammer.

    Because apparently all the mods defected after the board "upgrade" debacle and there's no one to report spammers to the Nest gods to be banned.
