    ANSWER:

    Usually matters such as this resolve when a person is continuously issued summonses for an unleashed dog or if the animal is picked-up by animal control. One can sue to try to get a court to order a nuisance abated and/or for money based on damages suffered as a result of a nuisance, but I cannot say whether a court would find your concern about a possible future injury to be sufficient. Of course, it is usually advisable to discuss one’s concerns directly with the offending neighbor. Consult with an attorney in your area.
