Thank you all so much for your advice and for your understanding.
Mama23+pyrs2: I'm with you. I can't stand it when kids mistreat animals! That is just not OK.
They don't have any animals and I think it is a good thing, but hopefully, through this, his parents will take some time to teach him how to treat animals with respect. I definitely will go over there if I see him do anything!
Danelnsane: Great advice. That is true. I don't want him to get hurt. That would be awful. I also don't think my dog deserves to be treated the way he treats him.
Moni: I am so sorry your dog was tormented by kids. That is terrible. I think we will probably try to tape him, but at the same time, I worry that may be the time that Cooper has had enough and bites! 
Holly: Good point! That is definitely an issue that should be dealt with now. He is 8 years old.
runnin Scared: I agree.
Stella: Thanks for sharing your story. I had to laugh when I imagined that dad's face when he saw your dobie sail over the fence on command.
I am glad that was the end of the problem. The privacy fence is a good idea. I just don't know if we can afford to redo the fence right now. We are actually hoping to move, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

His friend accidentally hit him in the ear with something and he got mad and started swinging the gardening hoe at his friend! 
I called my daughter in and told her that if this kid is outside, our dogs have to be in the house. I asked her if she could see what they were doing to the dogs & she said that they were calling them to the fence and trying to hit them with gardening tools!!! 
I knew he was up to something, but I didn't see him! It is a tricky situation because I am really nervous that he will bite this kid if he continues to get provoked. With this incident, because I didn't see what he was doing, but my daughter did....it is my child's word against their child's word. So, I am not sure how exactly to handle this. The dad is a police officer, so if their kid does taunt him long enough he does get bit, he will have Cooper reported and quarantined. 
REALLY SOON!!! Thanks!
