We recently moved to the town. We have a large, mixed breed dog. He is highly trained, fully licensed and registered in accordance with local law, and fully vaccinated and up to date on all shots. He's part of our lease by name and the landlords (two-family, they're the other floor) gave us full permission to have the dog here.

&amp;#x200B;

For 3 months, we have had no issues with anyone in the neighborhood.

&amp;#x200B;

All of a sudden last night, one of our neighbors flipped out on my fiance and started yelling at her (mind you, from across the street and one house over - where this neighbor lives) about our dog because he was not on a leash. He was on our property at the time, not barking, and just following my fiance around. The local ordinances do not require a dog to be leashed while on the owner's property. It is very clear.

&amp;#x200B;

She tried to de-escalate the situation and even put him on a leash. The yelling and harassing continued. They she threatened to call the police.

&amp;#x200B;

I came home to a very upset fiance, so I called the police and made a report about what happened, but declined to have an officer come over and address anyone in person. I thought maybe it would not happen again and at least there was a record.

&amp;#x200B;

Sure enough, I'm outside cleaning snow off of everyone's cars and I'm approached by said neighbor. She starts off friendly, but then side-tracks onto a ton of invasive questions about who I am, who owns the dog, etc. So I say I live here. That's my dog. What's the problem?

&amp;#x200B;

The same nonsense as the night before starts. You can't have him off leash. He has to be fenced in. I don't want any other dogs out on this street. I'm afraid of your dog. You can't have him outside like that.

&amp;#x200B;

I say I'm sorry, but you're just not right. The law is clear. We are not in the wrong. 

&amp;#x200B;

This goes nowhere. She continues to escalate the situation verbally.

&amp;#x200B;

So I just sort of said okay, forget this. And called the police. I did not want to waste their time but I felt this needed to be addressed and it is so unfair that we're afraid to walk our own dog because of this nonsense.

&amp;#x200B;

The police agreed with us and instructed the neighbor accordingly. It was ridiculous and should never have even escalated to that point.

&amp;#x200B;

AITA for calling the cops?
