Ok I'll try to keep this short - our neighbor has a 9 yr old son who likes to tease our dog when she's in her pen (she's never outside unless we're home so I've been able to watch him through the window). Our dog is a Doberman but contrary to her scary looks she is very people friendly (she was once a therapy dog with disabled children), and I'd really like her to stay this way! She will bark at strangers near our yard or when someone knocks on the door, so I think he likes to provoke her. I have watched him yell and scream and jump around, which is fairly harmless, but more alarmingly I've seen him throw things over the fence or call her over and try to poke her with sticks (the fence is 6ft/chain link). I've caught him in the middle of it at least 4 times now, each time going out and giving him a stern warning not to tease our dog anymore. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take it to his dad but don't want to cause hard feelings. How would you approach this?
