Moxie Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I talked to him about a month ago about his dog pooping in our yard. They kept him out for about a week. I was out there today and noticed many poo piles in my flower bed. Ugg. It really pisses me off. I hate dogs and crappy dog owners. Follow the laws!! Keep your dog in your own yard or move to a farm!! Get an invisible fence!! If I could fence my yard I would!! Stupid neighbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I love dogs, and have a dog, and I still get irritated with my neighbor who lets his dog poop in my yard. He lets him poop right by the mailbox too. Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I mean, really. Wtf!?! How could anyone think that it is ok to let their dog do that?!? I'm going to start throwing dirty diapers in their yard and see how they like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 :grouphug: I would be very annoyed and frustrated too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Maybe put the poop in a bag and place it on their front porch with a note saying "your dog left this in our flower bed again"... Maybe he'll get the hint? I'm mean, but I'm thinking it would be more effective to leave it on the porch with a note but without a bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supertechmom Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 bag it and leave it on the porch. Every time. I do that with my dog neighbors who just don't get it. they eventually learn they are going to have to do something about the poop. Why should I figure out how to dispose of it? I leave it for them to figure that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm fond of dogs, but I can't stand other people's dogs in our yard, the strays are bad enough. Our neighbors' (2 different ones) dogs come and dig in our garden. So far this year, they've torn up our sweet peas. We live in an area with no animal control, or regulations regarding pets. Everything roams free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2jjka Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Totally feel your pain. Our neighbor's dog does it, too. AND I have been yelled at by the UPS guy because the dog was roaming around in my yard and barked at him. >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sprinklers can really help in this situation...turn those babies on when you see the pooch heading for your yard or in your yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Ugh, I'm sorry! I don't get why this is a hard concept for someone to grasp. I hope your neighbor will get the message this time that you do not want their dog's "gifts" left in your yard. A little re-gifting is in order as others suggested.

mom2bee Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 How inconsiderate! Maybe a shovel will be easier on you so you don't have to bag it (gross!) and you can get better flingage for when you throw it right back at them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry, that stinks (pun intended). We have neighbor cats that keep spraying our yard, including my kid's Little Tykes Playhouse and the lid to the sandbox. Everything outside reeks right now.

Laurie4b Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If your flowerbed is close to the line, I would probably get a shovel and flip it back onto their yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Wow--- y'all are way nicer than I am. Bagging it and placing it on the stoop? I wish I had all of you sweethearts as my neighbors! :thumbup1: If your flowerbed is close to the line, I would probably get a shovel and flip it back onto their yard. :iagree: OP, if you are *positive* it's the neighbor's dog, I would grab a shovel and toss it back. I have done so on more than one occasion. Don't worry where it lands (flowerbed, grass, or driveway), just toss away. Let the owners deal with it.

Moxie Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm just so bummed. In our last house (terrible, poor, run down neighborhood), we dealt with the crazy cat lady across the street. I imagined when we moved to a really nice neighborhood that the people would be more considerate of their neighbors and take better care of their pets. I'm so naïve!

Myeightkiddies Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sprinklers can really help in this situation...turn those babies on when you see the pooch heading for your yard or in your yard. You need a motion-activated sprinkler. Surprising the culprits works well. http://www.amazon.com/Contech-CRO101-Scarecrow-Activated-Sprinkler/dp/B000071NUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I know an elderly lady that lives in a sort of retirement village with semi detached units. she had trouble with a dog coming and weeing on her car tyre every day. she tried everything. eventually she set a rattrap. She heard a click and a yelp and the dog never ever came back again. I wouldn't go as far as a rat trap ,but would a whole line of mousetraps work? they would only cause a little bit of pain and no permanent damage and might teach the dog to keep out of your area.

JFSinIL Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 If you are 100% sure it is from the neighbor's dog, I'd not bag the poop and leave it on his doorstep, but take a shovel and scoop it up and dump it on his yard where it should have been deposited in the first place. Then set a few rat traps out in your garden area. A few SNAPS will startle Fido into not wanting to go there. I see I am not the only "fling it back" advocate. If the neighbor says anything, remark calmly "Oh, I know. Poor little Fido just doesn't seem to understand which is HER yard when she does her business." Act as if of course he'd want to be taking care of his own dog's poop on his own yard, and you are just helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroe1 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Why can't he take his dog on a leash and then pick it up with a plastic bag? That is what is required in our neighborhood. A pooping dog without a plastic bag pick up is $100 fine here, even if it is in one's own yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
