i have a 2 yr old labrador that majority of the people in my neighborhood are scared of. he barks at strangers and is protective of me and my family. we have caught people throwing stuff at him when he is outside chained up to do his duty, as well as some of the neighborhood children teasing him . we have asked them to stop and have talked to the children's parents about the situation. with summer coming, he will probably be outside a lot more. i can not move his chain because the tree that we were using to tie him up on was cut down. he is a strong dog and the only other thing we could move him to is a young tree that i fear he would pull up easily. for a bit of background--he is on a tow chain, with about a 10ft length, and clip rated for 1,000+lbs, he has broke many chains and clips in the past. he almost pulled down a fence post that was cemented into the ground (that was at about 7 months) a fenced yard is not an option as we rent and the dog downstairs does not get along w/ him.
