About a year ago a new neighbour moved into the estate and he had a cocker spaniel pup. Since then the pup has grown up and the cocker spaniel has got 2 brothers and there is now 3 in total.
Each morning at 7:30 the 3 dogs are left out and they run around barking and going crazy. That is fine Mon - Fri as I have to get up for work anyway (even if 7:30 is a tad early) but it is exceptionally annoying on Sat and Sun. Outside of all that they have the communal green destroyed with poop and now they have started to poop in my garden.
Each morning without fail there is at least 2 turds in my grass. Each evening when I come home from work there may or may not be a turd there also.
Therefore, I have to pick it up. Every single day.
I have spoken to the neightbour but he says it is not his dogs doing it (they are the only dogs in the estate) and that I am not a dog lover so I wouldn't understand (he is right about me not being a dog lover). Other than getting a photo of them "in the act" I am not sure how I can get this stopped. Even if I did get a photo I dont think he would act with regard to stopping it.
I have looked into getting gates put up (I got a side gate up to stop them going into my back garden) but I would have to have my pillers re-enforced as they may not be strong enough to support gates. We also have two cars in the drive but if we put up gates we will only be able to fit one. Also there is the expence that I dont need at the minute.
In light of what I have posted I have a few questions that people may be able to answer....

- Is there anything I can buy to spray on the grass to stop dogs unloading in my garden?
- Have I any recourse to law about this? Especially as the dog owner isnt taking my complaint with any seriousness.
- I live in Cork City. Has anyone posting here had reason to ring the council/dog wardens and what was there responce?
