Keep in mind the only bad thing about pitbulls is they're bull-headed: They'll barrel in to things and can be rough simply because they're hyper little weirdos, not violent killing machines. Roughness can be misconstrued as violence, even in humans (ask me how I know!).
I say all that to mean ... maybe also befriend the dog regardless of what happens. If you're nicer to him than the "trashy" owners, he'll listen to you better and maybe be nicer to the stuff he thinks is yours regardless of what the owners do.
A family friend’s pitbull chewed the ear off of someone’s toddler because it wanted to play with him. The best way to deal with a dangerous dog you don’t own is to ignore it and have the owners deal with it. The last thing you want is the dog liking you more than its owners, spending more time in your yard, then deciding to ‘play’ with the ducks.
Dangerous is not the same thing as, "completely random dog that happens to be a species you're bigoted against."
Do better. Dogs largely don't understand what's happening. Half their lives, they're younger than children we give greater defference to, while working with a smaller brain. I wouldn't be surprised if most dogs do not know what being "alive" is AT ALL, let alone being able to openly sympathise. I love how people will blame dogs all fucking day, but cats kill billions of birds and other animals a year, get a fucking ALBUM named after the serious illness they can give with a simple scratch, and get a pass.
Again, do better.
You seem like one of those people who own pit bull types just to act self righteous about it. They are dangerous animals (and it's our fault as humans for breeding that into them), there is more to them than just being "bull headed".
Nice bigotry and assumptions. Pathetic. I have boston terriers. I'm sorry you're judgemental about things you don't know. It will not serve you well in life.
I somehow knew you'd pull the "you're a dog racist!" card. Hopefully your dogs never encounter a poorly controlled pittie. It's a really horrible sight to see what they're capable of.
I second the suggestion of befriending the dog: get some good dog treats and essentially train it. Imagine the look on the neighbor’s face if everyone is outside and the dog obeys your verbal commands. Delicious!
So now this guy has to spend his time and money training his neighbours dog? How is that a solution. It's not his dog. Also if the owners aren't training the dog, training by anyone else won't stick. It has to be consistent with everyone who is living with the dog.
