. this is the fourth time found dog crap from my neighbors dog in my yard. I spoke to him 3 times like a gentleman and asked if he could not let his dogs go to the bathroom in my yard. he blames it on his girlfriend. he says when she lets the dog out she does not have him on the leash. he said he would take care of it. I do not address women that have men that live in the house. evidently she has the balls because the dog is still crapping in my yard. this time I scooped up the crap and I put it in their driveway. they have not come out of the house yet but I'm going to ask them like a good neighbor again if they can keep the dog from crap in my yard. I don't have pets. nor do I trust pass on their property to destroy it or defaced it in anyway. what other actions should I or can I take and still be a good neighbor?

sorry I forgot to say I am NOT going to put up a fence

Try going to pets at home and getting some poo bags

if your neighbor finds the crap on his driveway, all bets may be off on this one. here's a link you might want to check out

what????????

Put his dogs poo in a paper bag. Put the bag on his front porch and pour lighter fluid on it. Start the bag on fire and ring his doorbell.

Your local animal control is probably your best bet. In most municipalities pets are required to be kept on a leash when not in an enclosed area (i.e. a fenced yard). You need to let animal control know that this is a continuing problem and that you've asked your neighbor to keep his animal off of your yard. The owner of the animal will most likely be ticketed which will hopefully cause them to keep the dog contained (those tickets can be expensive).

If you don't have a local animal control, you can try the police department, the sheriff's department or the health department. All of these will uphold laws regarding dogs at large and/or dog waste that is not properly disposed of.

Hope this helps.

funny

I hate to do it but I did start to take pictures of their yard. crap all over the place

Gracefully pick it up, stick it in a paper bag, then skip happily over to his porch walk up to the door, lay the poop filled bag down, grab your lighter, set it a flame, knock on the door the get your hind end back into your house!

Mail it to him in in a lovely gift box.

I'm a dog owner and I always use poo bags (granted my dog is small). I think if possible I would wait til you see the dog in your yard and go out and tell whoever accompanies it that the dog using your lawn is a problem, regardless of whether it's the girlfriend or the guy. If that doesn't work, you really have no choice but to call animal control.

I think the first step is trying to talk to her, since you said you haven't done that yet.

Yes the last thing we need people doing is fighting over dog ****, we have other problems in this world, i do not have name not a single one we are all americans and we know whats going on. Yes i would really talk to the second poo-pertraitor lol.

give a girlfriend to dog then dog ashamed to do in your lawn hahahaha: laugh: after then if this idea not work then chain up that dog on boundery wall

Get a gun!! Make sure you learn/know how to use it!

I don't know what to tell you seriously because in my apartment complex, there are major resentments by the dog owners who DO clean up after their dogs against the dog owners who do NOT clean up after their dogs. I mean it gets into warfare.

In my previous condo complex, we seriously reported them to the home owner's association and they were fined if they did that.

People think you are just being picky when you say it bothers you but it's not just being picky. It's a health issue. If a dog is not well cared for an has parasites and poops on your lawn, anyone who walks through there or any kid who plays there or any animal who is on the lawn can spread or catch the parasites. It's unhealthy and disgusting.

Most cities have leash laws and you can turn someone in. Yep even if it's just to let them out to poop because in that few minutes, a dog could also bite someone.

Someone walking a dog off leash AND not picking up carp just doesn't care. That dog is probably not being tested once a year for parasites or even vaccinated regularly.

I say look into the leash law.

lol

Report them you try chat to them nicely it won't stop till you do there will always be bad feelings between you both but no more poo in your garden or alternative tell them next time dog poo on your garden you will report them had same problem did not stop till i reported them
If you put poo on there door step it will inflame the situation good luck
