dog mess??

[Roop-Dogg]

my neighbor lets his dog (lab) out every morning. he makes a bee-line across the street and does his business on my boulavard. is there any thing i can put out there or spray etc. to deter this. the fact that my neighbor condons this explains his attitude. talking to him does no good. i like dogs but shouldn't have to clean up after someone else's pet.

While it's cold out run the snowblower over the area and aim it towards the guy's house. Once you fill his gutters he may get the hint.

[jeffreyd]

call the city let them know what he is doing and when they will put a stop to it

Take Jim Careys lead from the movie Me Myself And Irene and see what kind of reaction you get from the neighbor.

A number of years ago we had the same problem except the owner of the dog was walking it on the leash! We spoke to him about it but it didn't help, called the cops no help either. After collecting his dogs deposits plus a five gallon pail full from a friend who breeds dogs and dumping it on his front door step it stopped. He called the cops and I just told them we were returning what was left in our yard. That ended it.

[harvey lee]

I did the same thing only I dumped it on their driveway.

No more issues but a neighbor who will not talk to me but that is ok as I do not need to clean up after his dog anymore.

[Ralph Wiggum]

If talking to him won't do it, I'd call the city/police. I don't know of anything that will deter the dog other than a responsible owner.

[pureinsanity]

It is still cold, scoop up the dogs business collect it and dump it on his driveway. Oh don't forget to bring it on the house with a cover on it and let it all thaw out. And do it late at night so in the morning it will be frozen solid in one big pile.

You need to scare the heck out of that dog. so it remembers not to go over there. Sounds cruel but how do you think the dog learned to go there? it remembered its owner always bringing it there. So if you give it ONE good scare, it will remember there is something scary over there. If you know when the dog is let out, you could hide some how and just before its gonna do the business jump out at it.

Id say shoot at it with a paintball gun but that would probably get you jail time.

What about bear pepper spray? that stuff shoots 30 some feet. you could shoot it at the dog(make sure you are not down wind) when hes running over there. Or if you know the exact area the dog goes to the bathroom in you could run out and coat the area with pepper spray and go back in.

You could make a BIG sign, with the guys name on it. MR. John Doe, Please stop letting your dog defecate on my yard.

if you live in a small town and lots of people will see it im sure it will stop. Better yet put an add in the paper.

if your feeling nasty...

Two words....cheese and exlax!

Put two exlax pills in a piece of american cheese where the dogs usually use the facilities in your yard. The dogs eat the cheese and exlax and don't make it to your yard the next time. Not only will the dogs leave their mark in their owners house, but the neighbors will figure it's something they are eating and keep them in their yard to watch them to make sure they're not eating something bad....best part is that there's no way you will get caught...problem solved!

Ive also heard of a guy filling up a mason jar with his own urine. And pouring it out in a small line across his property line. He did refreshed this every week or so, and after it rained, and than he forgot about it. But it seemed to do the trick to keep dogs off his yard. Interesting if it actually works.????

[NoWiser]

Red Ryder. That thing kept dogs out of my folks yard from the time I was 5 until I moved out. I didn't tell you that, though....

[Get'n Jiggy]

My brothers dog used to do his bussiness on his neighbors yard till

they boxed it up and mailed it to him, he got the message. Doesn't

sound like that would work in this case, unless???

[pureinsanity]

I agree paintball gun or bb gun. but that can cause some issues lol

[bobbymalone]

I would collect it and put it on the neighbors doorstep if it is causing you grief. The problem isn't the dog, it's the neighbor and shooting the neighbor with the bb gun or paint ball gun probably won't work out too well. It's also likely not gonna work out too well with local law enforcement when bb's have to be extracted from the dogs rump.

My neighbor's dog regularly drops deuces in my backyard. I would prefer that this not happen, but frankly, I have got better stuff to worry about than some dog carp. I just pick it up with a shovel and toss it behind the shed. It's just not worth starting some cop calling Hatfield and McCoy stuff with the neighbor.

[FishLocker]

When we lived out east, my neighbor told me there was a dog that would wander the street and do his duty in anyones yard, which ticked off the entire street...till someone called the dog over on one of his trips and "accidentally" sprayed him with skunk extract cover scent and taped a note to his collar about keeping his dog in his own yard.

According to my neighbor, that did the trick.

Since he did his duty on many different lawns, the owner had no idea who the scent donor was.

Cannot tell you if it detered the dog or detered the owner. The dog was history by the time we moved in, but enjoyed the story.

[SkunkedAgain]

I take my old fireplace shovel and flick it back into my neighbor's yard. It keeps the situation from getting annoying on my side.

[klecker]

For real talk to them like a grown up. If that don't work wait it out in a bath robe and walk the dog back. Be the grown up for xsakes!

[harvey lee]

Why would one be mean to the dog?

It's the owners fault and not the dogs.

I cannot believe someone would shoot the dog.

Exactly! That's like the neighbors who don't watch their kids and they run around in the street. That doesn't mean I should hit them with my car.

Dude, YOU were the one that suggested shooting the dog!

In my neighborhood, I walk my Lab twice a day (morning and night), probably 2-3 miles between the 2 walks. He does a #2 during the morning and the night walk. They make these great little bags that make it easy to pick this stuff up and my boy does some BIG ones! I can grab them with the bag, flip it inside out, and we are good to go. Ain't a big deal.

I had a lady come out of her house once because Morgan was walking on her grass. I was in the street, he was on a 6' leash, I can't keep him out of the grass, thats where the smells are. I told her I pick up all his [PoorWordUsage] but because you confronted me for the sake of confronting me, I'll leave them when he goes in your yard. Haven't heard from her since.

Seams like dogs try to go [PoorWordUsage] in the same place all the time, as I can go on a 2 mile walk and he [PoorWordUsage] within feet of the same place over and over and over again. He'll then pick a new place further into the walk and do the same thing for a week, then its on to the new spot.

For those of you with a neighbor dog problem, talk to the owner ASAP or it'll be very tough to correct the dogs behavior. The owner needs to correct it the sooner the better. The dog just knows thats the place I go [PoorWordUsage]. Owner needs to change that spot.

For the record, that is the most "Poor Word Usages" I have ever received in 1 post in my life here. "Poor Word Usage" = P-O-O-P-S

[pureinsanity]

Don't shoot anything at dogs.

[LwnmwnMan2]

I'm going to keep editing all the posts that talk about shooting ANYTHING at dogs.

The conversation can keep going, but last I checked it was illegal to shoot ANYTHING that was out of season, and for the life of me, I simply cannot find the season on hunting dogs.

[jeffreyd]

thats why my dogs wont go in my area off the back porch. when it is 2 am and i am letting them out the urge does hit me from time to time. Man i miss living in the country
