A couple to chocolate Ex-Lax wrapped in a piece of bacon and left in your yard. You'll hear the commotion the next morning as they drag their uncontrollably crapping dog outside.

I really hope that is in jest. The dog is not the one that is a problem it's the stupid, asshole owners. No need to cause the dog discomfort.

That is ridiculous. What if they rebuild the home and get more dogs to spite him?

either Concertina wire or a fence depending on the message you want to send

There is an old saying:

"Good fences make good neighbors"

Think about it... you will make the right decision. Just don't get into a "pi____g" match. Flinging the poop will just make the situation worse.

Be a good neighbor, even if they are not - talk to them first.

We have a situation in our community where a neighbor called the dog police about off leash activity on our own property. Wish he would have just approached to talk about the issue.

how about some subtle sign language?

My nephew, who lives next door, has the only nice lawn on the block that isn’t fenced. Naturally people let their dogs take a grumpy there-the dogs like it because there’s no grass burs and the owners like it because it’s shaded by big trees.

Neighborhood cats still like to crap in my yard, which is fenced with mesh a cat can fit through, but not a dog. Cats prefer to grunt where dogs cannot attack them by surprise.

Nephew and I should receive a stipend from the community for the service we are providing to the many animals that we are improving the lives of.

Talk to them first letting them know you will call animal control. You may be able to have them pay half the cost of fence.

The best way is to train the dog not to shit there.

Go to sams/Costco and buy a big ass container of cayenne powder, Spread it where they like to poop in your yard then also lay a trail by along the property line.

they will smell it long before they get close enough to sniff it in their nose and will go elsewhere.

Worked like a charm when we had the same problem.

I applied about every 2-3 days for 2 weeks and the dogs never showed up again.

I had a neighbor at my previous house who let his dog come poop in my side yard (I lived on a corner lot and the side yard could not be fenced due to restrictions). I mentioned to him that I had enough to do keep the poop cleaned up from my own dog and didn't appreciate having to clean up his dog's too. He laughed, thought it was funny.

Later, she came and pooped again. I got my shovel, scooped it up, walked it across the street and dumped it in his yard. He was outside and came over to ask me what I was doing. I responded that I was taking care of his dog's poop. He finally got the message and that ended the problem.

He was another-wise nice guy, but this part of his brain didn't compute. He didn't get that this was a problem until he faced having to scoop his own poop. Weird, but true.

I have seen assaults as well as a fatal shooting over stuff like this.

I'd call the local authorities, the Animal Control division. Find out what they might suggest.

A fence is probably your best bet as has already been said.

I lived with this for several years and my nearest neighbor is 100 yds away. Tried being decent about it and that didn't work. Ended up flinging the crap across the fence onto his property.

Finally the fucking dog died. Within 24 hrs he had another one...this one barks constantly.

I can't seem to catch a break.

Had a cross-street neighbor who let this go on with his shepherd. He stood in his yard and watched this. He wasn't super neighborly, but not a complete asshole. I mentioned it to him, noting we had a little girl who could be counted on to walk in or roll it and asked him to help out with that.

A month or so later after this hadn't improved and I walked out one morning to see it in action again, I strolled over for a chat. I offered up that I could train my lab to shit in an 8' circle in under a week and if he didn't get this under control it was going to be right where I was standing in his yard. So, suddenly I am the asshole, but at least he stopped the practice.

So, get a smart dog and weaponize it!

Another option.

+1. I like this approach. Once the dog gets a sniff or two of that pepper up his nose, he probably won't come back. Seems harmless, but what do I know, I don't even own a dog (allergic).

Yup.

I'd talk to the parents, they may not know their kid is letting the dogs run to neighbors when he lets them out and maybe they will take care of it, kinda like when Ralphie ratted out Schwartz as the one who taught him the F---- word, you may hear some screams from the house.

Otherwise a nice chain link fence or even a privacy fence, heck based on the proximity to others a privacy fence would be nice to clean up the view of their shed...

Okay, I've read the whole thread, it is time for an update on this poop debacle. I vote for just putting up a fence as well. You will feel safer letting your kids play in the backyard unattended once they are a little older.

Yeah, I'd want a fence if the neighbors were letting their dogs out and my kids might be there, even if the dogs didn't crap in my yard. Don't get me wrong, kid-friendly dogs are wonderful, but I'd not let any dogs have possible access to my kids unless I knew the dogs and was on friendly terms with the owner.
