We've increased the height of the fence multiple times but where there's a will...
We also have dug logs into the bottom so he shouldn't be able to dig under

Mom and Dad don't want to call animal control but I think they should. I really believe that Koda will get picked up once and they'll realize how serious it is!

He's such a big dog I worry that it will be my young nephews who get attacked. I'm even having nightmares over it!

Apparently so.

I'm disliking this more and more.

Koda is the rottie/pit/mix of my parents neighbor. He's very friendly with the neighbors and their other dogs! He kisses and plays, he's a good dog.

However!~Koda has slowly expanded *his* territory into my parents yard! It started a few years ago with him jumping the fence and peeing on a tree. Then it turned into him jumping the fence and barking at my parents and guests.

Now he's jumping the fence and snarling with teeth bared! He's even started to lunge and snap!

The neighbors are keeping him indoors when their not out in the yard but we'd all like to see this resolved with him having room to run.

I have no idea why my parents let it get to this point before they've tried anything but *shrug*
So far, they've had the neighbors bring Koda over and give him pettings and treats-to make peace...

Ironically, this has only made the aggressive trips more intense and more frequent.
The worst bit is, my mother works from home....

So, any tips? My boyfriend says to get pepper spray and when Koda gets aggressive....

Well, this isn't for a year. Quite possibly a little longer-I'd want to be settled in before adopting a dog. Call it 13months lol.

The closest city to me is Quakertown or Perkasie PA

Neither Brian or I are fond of toy breeds. We'd like one that can jump onto the bed without help. We both love big dogs.

So, pit bulls are too active for my ankle-which sucks. I guess we're down to a bulldog, spaniel or pug.

Well, the dog I grew up with was a jack and I would not keep one in an apartment! I'd love another jackie girl but....

So, far Brian and I are leaning towards a french bulldog, pug or pit bull. Personally, I'd love to have a bull mastiff or Samoan but I think the apartment would be too small.

I'm not always that active. I have a bad ankle from a nasty fall so walking can be hard. I'd say my limit is a mile of constant walking all day. So I could take a dog for three 1/3 mile walks or 2 half mile walks.

I would love to have a great dane except for the drool. I'm kinda finicky about drool and spit. Dead animals don't bother me, bodily functions don't faze me but drool....yuck.

I'm a firm believer in rescue/adopting and never have bought a pet. Brian and I are considering adopting an older dog, past puppy-hood. I know their less likely to be rescued and their also more likely to have some training-even if it's only house trained.

I recently ran into a pug/jack Russel mix and he was the sweetest dog. He was very friendly and calm. And very adorable!

I also know russels are HYPER. I had one in my youth and Rosie, until she was a little old lady, would run circles around everyone.

So, are the pug/russel mix typically calm?
