"Please keep your dog off my property"
When that doesn't work, contact animal control? I love dogs but a pit running loose is not going to end well for anyone and if they can't handle their dog then you need to start getting that documented. Just stay polite and try to have empathy for whatever is going on with them to the best of your ability. How sure are you that they are trashy and not just inexperienced with dogs? If this is their first puppy they might just need friendly advice.
These people have had the cops called on them for domestic disputes and have daily screaming matches. Also, like 15 mins after posting this, their car got repo'd and the mom lost her mind so bad that the cops came. I went to take my trash out and the cop motioned for me to go back inside as he called for backup
Don't talk to them about it.
Especially if you're going to call animal control, there's no point earmarking yourself to be the one they take it out on when their dog gets impounded.
Judging by what you've written in comments about your neighbours, don't talk to them. Call bylaw. It might take a couple times. If you approach them now and ask them to keep their dog leashed and they don't listen, and THEN call bylaw, they will know it was you and possibly start targeting you for harassment because they know it was you who "rattled" on them. I've seen this happen. It's not worth the drama and headache. This is sort of what bylaw is for. So neighbours aren't at each other's throats.
Ugh I’m sorry, I feel your pain. I used to have neighbors exactly like that. They were absurdly loud at all hours and had the cops called on them a number of times. I tried being polite: “Hey guys! Hope you’re doing well, just wanted to let you know I have to wake up super early for work, so would it be cool if you kept the volume down after 10pm?” They laughed, slammed the door in my face and cranked up the volume. The only thing that worked was telling the landlord I didn’t feel safe with them as my neighbors (helped that it was 100% true). He evicted them within days after I described all the shit they got up to.
Holy fuck classic. Be safe my man.
