I need some advice on how to deal with my neighbors dog. He actually lives two doors down. Not sure what kind, but about 60 - 75#s.

He thinks my front yard is his personal bathroom. Lots of land mines. If I am in my front yard he will charge me barking and growling. He actually charged at my 65 yo mom when she was visiting.

I told my neighbor that one of 3 things would happen:
1. The dog will bite me. I will call the cops and have the dog taken away.
2. I will put a hole in the dog if he charges at me again.
3. You will keep the dog off my property and everybody lives happily ever after.

My neighbor opted for #4. Only let the dog out before I get home from work. I have not seen the dog but he is still leaving "evidence" in my front yard.

I DO NOT want to hurt the dog.

What can I do?
