Dog poohing in my garden.

[petemcewan]

Some advice please

 

I have a suspicion that some one is deliberately letting their dog foul my front garden and the path to my front door. I do not know who is letting their dog do this. I cannot think of anybody I've offended that might cause them to retaliate in this fashion.

I'd appreciate it if anybody could advise me how to put a stop to it.

Setup CCTV and figure out who it is.

 

Then return the poo.

Or for more comedy once identified and times of deposit are known, lie in wait with a supersoaker loaded half water half vinegar.

 

Dogs are not daft it wont come back after a little education.

My neighbour was doing this at my last house, I kept finding excrement on my (unfenced) Garden, then one day I caught the dog doing it. I tried to shoo it away, the neighbour then started shouting indirectly at me through the (very thin) walls. She would let the children let the dog out, and instead of taking it to their fenced garden, they let it run into mine.

I hate confrontation, so left it, the poop continued to appear, so I started leaving it in the entrance to the shared access round the back of the houses. Someone must have reported it, because it suddenly stopped. It wasn't me, but both my neighbours thought it was

They were both horrible so it was karma

Thank all of you for the advice/

 

Isabelle,

 

If only I could cop the perps. I'll probably use the CCTV option when I can afford the technology.

I cannot for the life of me understand what motivates such people to deliberately encourage their dog to foul their neighbour's garden and path . Like you , my front garden is unfenced. I thought of having a notice made to erect in my garden saying, "Please do not let your dog foul the pavement ".

A cheap alternative to CCTV is to use a smartphone.

 

You can get apps that use the camera to record like a CCTV system would, obviously the phone needs to be plugged, but in essence you could just leave it there to record the dog and the owner.

If you identify the owner and you know which car they drive, shove the offending poo tightly into the recess of their driver's door handle. They'll owe you one for curing their nail-biting habit.

geared,

 

Thanks, I'll certainly look into that.

 

Mad-dad,

 

Thanks, that made me laugh.

once one dog has layed an egg there others tend to try and cover their smell so I found the best way to stop it was to hose the area down and disinfect it with bleach or Jeyes fluid.
