A section of 4' high black vinyl-coated chain link between the two properties would probably do the trick and be relatively inconspicuous.

Or a 4' high section of white vinyl picket fence.

I'd stay away from land mines. Too indiscriminate.

The neighbors on either side of me let their dogs poop, dig holes, leave trash, etc, anywhere they want, ( often in my front yard, ) so this thread is very useful, ( and entertaining ) to me.

While the electrified concertina wire sounds appealing, ( I wouldn't actually do that but my sometimes heavy sense of humor loves it! ) the electronic pest chaser device seems like a good way to go. I may start with the cayenne or bacon grease first.

Let's make something crystal clear- Never again do I want to see this type of comment from a member of this forum. I couldn't be more serious.

OTOH it's a good reason to get your spousal unit to agree to a security camera system, that way you can record the dasturdly deeds and have proof for your neighbor or the city animal control folks that it's their dogs.

Check with your local City Gov., there may be laws about this with people with pets including cats not controlling their animals about this. A neighbor behind us allowed their "big" dog to pee and poop on the next door yard and the owner got pictures and called animal control and the neighbor was fined $100. the owner was told the next time it would be $300 and a third time the animal would taken from them.

Cooking oil on bread or other food works also. The dogs system can't digest it,-----swoooosh.

You just quoted Para, saying he did not want to see this type of comment again, and yet you post the exact same type of comment?

Sheesh!

Wow.

satch, explain yourself, please. I imagine that you didn't actually read my comments.

I'll tell ya what, guys- when you make these anonymous comments on the internet, you need to understand that you're not as anonymous as you may feel, and lawyers abound in this world. Figure it out, guys. Don't set yourself up for trouble. People love their pets, and they love to sue.

why not get some of the orange safety fence, to temporarily fence your property line. fence and post should be available from HD or lowes.

it may help start the conversation with your neighbor.

I cannot believe that people on this forum would recommend these cruel things to other's pets. It is not the dog's fault, it is the owner. I understand it is annoying when the dogs come and crap on your yard. Our pets are family, and are treated as such. They are our babies. We may need to put our beloved GSP down this week, so it pisses me off even more at this time that someone would comment to hurt the dogs.

With neighbors like that, I'd rather not see them. I'd just put up a 6' high solid white vinyl fence and be done with it, if talking to them nicely first doesn't fix the problem.

You don’t let your family members crap in other people’s yards, do you? I don’t condone cruelty in any form, but the bacon grease on turds and cayenne pepper sprinkled where it’s likely to happen isn’t cruelty. For one, dogs eat poop all the time. Theirs, another dog’s, another animal’s, or a human’s. Their system is built for it and they suffer no ill effects, given that it’s a healthy turd. They smell the cayenne powder before they snort it because they want to find the perfect place to lay a loaf and that always involves sniffing first.

I’m going to use both these methods going forward because I have caught neighbors letting their dogs shit on the edge of my lawn while walking them. It was fun pulling up in the drive one morning after dropping my son at school as I caught one of the main offenders with their poodle on a leash dropping a steamer about two feet into the lawn from the sidewalk as I got out and just stared at them silently while they flummoxed around for something to pick it up with.

Fuck that, the dog can either eat shit or sniff pepper flakes. I’m not stepping it anymore. If you can’t teach the owner, teach the pet. The dog ain’t gonna sue you for getting a snoot full of red-hot.

I can't rule it out entirely.

PAsig, any updates?

I've got a great story about unwanted dog-crapping, if you want to hear it? It's a mite long, but you might just like it. I won't post it until I hear back, 'kay?
