Hello does your dog bite?
No.
Oooww! I thought you said your dog doesn't bite!

That's not my dog.

LOL :laughing:

Especially with new neighbors.
I'm am always surprised at the way some people react to dogs that aren't overly friendly. They seem to take it personally.
Compared to humans dogs are very stupid, they have no manners and a dog's behavior is unpredictable. If someone asks me if my dog bites, I say : "Not yet".
When I encounter a dog that I do not know, I expect him to bite. I avoid dogs I don't know. I never offer my hand to a strange dog and I will not make eye contact with same.
On the other hand, I make every effort to keep my dogs away from people they don't know. My dogs are fenced, or on a leash, or both, at all times. I feel my dogs are my responsibility and I hold myself accountable for their behavior.
I expect a lot from them, and I try to anticipate the worst from them at all times.

How someone can keep a dog and not have a fence is beyond me. What happens when the power goes out or the transponder fails?

As far as the matter at hand goes, The established neighbor has made some mistakes but in my opinion the new neighbor is the culprit here.
Based on the description given....
The new neighbor has little respect for his new neighbor and the sensibilities of same. I see this getting to be a big problem as the established neighbor is handling things poorly. You need to make your expectations known, be direct and be friendly, but do it.

That's a fair summation....:thumbsup:

Based on the info so far I would not judge anyone as particularly to blame for anything. Kind of unusual for someone walking up all friendly like to just get bitten, and the op seemed to be aware of the danger as he was trying to wave her off. All my dogs have always been so friendly that a stranger walking up would get a tail wag and then led to where any valuables are kept.

My advice would be to try to establish friendly relations with the neighbors, take measures to insure that no one is bitten again, and maybe negotiate on the noise issue, like mufflers as someone suggested or carving out quiet times where the kids lay off the bikes.

As to cats, dogs and chickens...

What, EXACTLY, is the difference between a lie and a fish tale?

Boy can this be transferred around at times. Just substitute the word dogs for humans and you've hit the nail more often than not.

Sorry, but my Peter Sellers imitation leaves a lot to be desired.

Dogs should not bite under normal circumstances if the owner is present.

Op should have jumped up and headed off the lady at the property line knowing his dog is territorial. I put this on him.

As far as the loud motorcycle, get a louder one and ride it at opportunistic times. Or lawn mower at sunrise.

Or lawn mower at sunrise.

Nothing like a zero turn with straight pipes at daybreak to wake the neighbors up...

That's actually a very big gripe of mine.
Why in gods name does everyone seem to think either me or my dog wants them laying their hands all over them? Why is it seemingly that all of humanity thinks my dog should like and seek attention from every Tom Dick and Jane that happen across it's path?
And at times to the point of me having to psychically move between some idiot stranger and my dog.
