Big Problems - Nasty Pet Neighbors

Hi , The other day - I had a talk radio on and the topic was about nasty neighbors. I was surprised that more than half the calls were about pets. Most of the calls were from neighbors saying that they have bad pet owning neighbors and a few were from pet owners saying they had nasty neighbors that were unkind to their pets for one reason or another. For example, how would you like to live next to this dog? Go to this article and click on the short video. Would this dog drive you nuts? For example, one lady called in and said she has an "uppity neighbor" with 4 little foo-foo dogs (those were her words). Every day, the dogs came over to her yard and ...well - they did their business. Day after day - she gets up - has her morning coffee, looks out the window and grinds her teeth as she watches these dogs come in her yard and do their business. Finally - she went out and confronted the neighbor. She said "Hey - why do you let your dogs crap in my yard?" The neighbor walked away and hasn't talked to her since. That was 2 years ago. This is not uncommon. Another call was - a man said he was taking his dog for a walk and the neighbor's dog attacked his little dog.  His dog was on a leash - the neighbor's dog was not. He wanted the neighbor to pay and he wouldn't. Now - they are enemies. How do you deal with that?
