For about 6 months this neighbor threw things, yelled and screamed, and poked my dogs with things when they would get close. I never saw any of this because I was at work obviously, but another neighbor witnessed him doing this on various occassions, and decided to tell me this after the lawn mower incident.
Of course I'm not going to assume that the neighbor should not mow their yard. My fence was a 6ft privacy fence and the city ordinance will not allow anything taller. I'm wondering what kind of rehabilitation may be appropriate for getting my dog to not be that way with a lawn mower. They didn't have a problem with the neighbor on the other side mowing until this man started mistreating them and now they can't stand it.
I will put this in simple terms....I'm going to be leaving my dogs in the backyard at the new house, and would like advice on how to train them to do well while I'm at work despite this old problem neighbor.
