I don't have much experience with dogs, much less untrained off leash ones. One is pretty big (a lab maybe?) and always runs right up to me and my wife barking territorially whenever I'm out in my garden, and doesn't stop until one of my neighbor's kids comes and gets them. I've had dogs try to fight me before and they make me really nervous. I just want to touch grass :(
How should I be responding to the dog when this happens?
Good thought to summon every communist in a 10-mile radius for a struggle session to bore the dog until it leaves. There's a shitload of outdoor and feral cats in my town, though, so I think me and my wife might be the only communists around
