How to deal with neighbor who won't stop purposely bringing her dog near mines?
Ive been living at an apartment complex for the past 3 years with my reactive dog. In these past 3 years I have managed to get my boy to be less reactive to humans and cats but the occasional dog he sees drives him crazy.
With that being said, there's a lady that lives all the way across the complex (completely on the opposite side from me) who knows my dog is reactive, but she purposely goes out of her way to walk her dog near mines every single day..
I understand I do live in an apartment complex, and people are allowed to freely walk their dog wherever they want.. However, i can be alone in my own yard, and she will still walk across 3 different parking lots with her dog just to come near us and set my dog off. Sometimes while I'm walking my dog, if I notice her, I will actively try to go in the opposite direction just to avoid a reaction but she will still end up following us the entire time. There have even been times she has brought her dog directly up to my sliding door just to get a reaction out of mines and it clearly stresses out both of our dogs but she just will not stop. It's even more frustrating considering she doesn't even live on my side
Im not really sure what to do in this situation anymore tbh. Im still working with my dog on being less reactive to other dogs, but it feels impossible when this lady quite literally brings her dog to my door sometimes. I've even tried confronting her before but she just ignored me and I feel like bringing the issue up to the landlord would just get my dog kicked out. Any advice?
