Unfortunately the dog's owner will be no help. I've never seen him walk his dogs or even throw a ball with them in the yard.
Since I've been looking at the dogs next door more closely, I've started to really feel sorry for them. The pit bull is a female and the boxer is an intact male. A couple weeks ago I noticed she had "teets", so they are apparently breeding them. Looks like she probably had a litter early this year. Both dogs have extremely bloodshot eyes (which may be normal for older dogs of their breeds...I don't know). The pit bull has a tumor sticking out her side about half the size of a ping pong ball, and the boxer has a noticeable limp.
These guys next door simply are not the "type" of people who will help me with obedience training in socializing their pets. It's a real shame.
