(((Awk))) i used to throw teeny tiny dog biscuits to the pit bull who lived next door to my mom when i lived with her. When he caught them in the air, i would go, "and the crowd goes wild!" and make cheering noises. Maybe ask the neighbor lady if you can do that. This dog was VERY aware of his property line. I wonder why those dogs think they own the area below your porch. That is NOT their territory.
