Is there anyway I sue someone who insutls me?

Is there anything somebody can be charged with who insults you outside your home? If not, is there a civil case that might be made of some kind. Specifically, if they are pretending to talk to their dogs but really they're talking to me by telling the dog what they think of me like, "don't bark at him, he's not worth it", etc. They are out of two different houses a few doors down, both directions. Another one has given a sign which means she would kill me or I will be killed. There is another one out of a fourth house which would take too long to describe properly.
