First, it sounds like the right thing to do, right? But if you give it a little more thought you'd see that's not wise.

When someone try to use their dogs to bark and attack you when you're invited to visit their home (with the purpose of ticking you off or making you angry). Because of that you'd become angry then they got what they set out to do, right?

Just ignore what they try to do to you and try not to stoop to their level. That would mean they failed.
