I agree wholeheartedly. Sending them a letter would only accomplish escalating the situation without helping the dog.


My thoughts exactly.

I would suggest that you not be influenced by old neighbors situations to this couples situation. This may be their first dog and they could be as stupid as they appear. With both adults gone a lot it's likely they both work. A young couple, both working and with 3 kids does not usually make for a good home for a dog. Determine the circumstances before launching...

I'm not sure if you're venting or seeking advice but your situation is quite common and I've had some experience on occasion to address solutions as I've trained and studied dogs and their behavior for years. I've got a CDT from a national dog training school and had some really competent mentors.
