Watch the video ... the little dog appears to be nipping at a leashed law enforcement K-9 at the scene ... the marshal boots the dog back toward the parking lot ... the same marshal delivers another swift kick in the courtyard as other officers wrestle with an individual in the foreground ... and the pooch yelps and rushes away before the clip ends.

'Better Call' a realtor! The house from "Breaking Bad" went on sale last year for $4 million, but after over a year on the market ... you can now own it for only $400K!

Alicia Feil of Keller Williams Realty tells TMZ ... the initial price was decided after an out-of-towner, who claimed to sell "famous" properties in Hollywood, convinced owner Joanne Padilla $4 million was a reasonable amount.

Last August, Joanne told us she thought the New Mexico property could be turned into a museum, which could fetch a pretty penny for whoever had the cash to make the $4M investment, but here's the thing ...
