What do you when someone is deliberately trying to provoke us and our dogs.

I'm doing infuriated by some people . The nerve they have on trying to cause trouble. I currently have two puppies about 8-10months old, they both are friendly dogs. They currently live at my girlfriend's house , I got it for her after she recently lost her dog who passed away not too long ago. She always had dogs. Currently she lives with her parents are fine with me letting the puppies live with her. Her father owns most of the property, the problem is that a house built on the property is currently owned by my girlfriend cousin as he inherited it just like her father did. The problem starts with her aunt who currently resides in that house her cousin supposed to own. Her cousin doesn't really stay there at all recently. But her aunt has some personal issues with my girlfriends family, and she especially has issues with my girlfriend, she notices that we love and care alot about our puppies. And currently my puppies are living indoors due to her constantly trying to provoke them . I can't put them outside to play due to this and the only time they get to go outside is when I get some time to take them for walks. It's pitty though because they are quite large breeds and they need space to play. Both the puppies are quite friendly, in fact ones a lab who is very friendly, and the othe is mixed breed who is a bit protective of us. He aunt now is trying to find ways to trigger my mixed breed so that he will be provoked into bitting. What should I do

I think you need to get your own place with your girl friend so the dogs have room to play outside.

I'm sorry that's happening. The only solution I see if for the dogs to live with you so you can take them out and let them play away from your girlfriend's aunt. The aunt will never leave the poor dogs alone as long as she knows they belong to you/your girlfriend.

I feel sorry for the puppies because at the age they need to be constantly trained and for big breeds, an exercise is a must. Being around people that they aren't welcome at all can actually affect how they behave. I don't know exactly wha you must do coz the only thing I know is to take the puppies away from people that can influence their temperament.

You can consider making a ddog house. I am sure ot would refrain from having any conflicts.

I think you need to move to a place where there are no people who are annoyed by your dogs.

Remember to prioritise your puppies safety during the whole process
