New neighbors with a shedding husky.

Hello,
I’m looking for advice on how to deal with this situation with new neighbors. For context, I have been living in this apartment since October of 2024 when I moved here there was another tenant occupying the unit until October 2025. They also had a chihuahua dog that never seemed to bother me at all. About 2-3 months ago the new neighbors moved in and within days I started noticing the accumulation of white dog hair on our black carpeted entrance area and dog hair on our shared balcony area that has turf grass. I tried to ignore it but now it’s getting to the point where I can’t keep letting this pass. As of today I’ve already swept this area 5 times which also makes me feel bad for sweeping the hair onto the downstairs neighbors front door (only difference is there’s no carpet downstairs) The dog hair is literally getting thicker and thicker every day they don’t clean it. I find this extremely inconsiderate to have to walk through dog hair and let it collect on the bottom of my shoes to be brought inside my apartment. I’ve tried to think of ways I can control the things that are in my control but even if I were to take my shoes off before coming into my apartment I’d still have to deal with dog hair some way some how. I don’t hate pets but I’m not a fan of them in apartment because of the clean up. All I want these people to do is be considerate and clean up after their pet.

In the first photo you can see a clear indication of where I swept vs what hasn’t been swept. In the second photo you can see the dog hair near my door it’s not AS BAD because I had just swept a couple days prior. Someone please tell me the best way to go about this?!
