complete over reaction but I will say that hurting the dog with lead pellets is not acceptable in my opinion - tackle the owner not the animal
Seriously, lide is too short....
Crikey, leave me out of that argument ney001, you're on your own with that one!!Ahhh yeah David but us Dublin folks do tend to think rationally!
not true. Like chocolate tobacco is very bad for dogs http://www.dogo.com/article7.phpYou could possibly scare them off your own patch by leaving down a treat covered in tobacco. This will make the dogs sick but will not do any harm to them. It should help turn them off your patch as they will associate it with feeling unwell.
+1 people should not have dogs if they expect others to accept their mess. bloody cheekyI am amazed by the reaction of some people. A poster gave the dog a little fright with a pellet gun and many others find it offensive. I doubt it hurt any more than a nick from another dog.
But a human picking up excrement and walking around with it is perfectly acceptable?
Disagree. Who wants to be friendly with someone who has no considersation and wants dog with no responsibility. He should see to it thwe dog is not allowed to be in someone else's garden. His dog - his responsibility. Want no responsibility - get rid of dogI'm thinking the scene in Me Myself and Irene where Jim Carey finally cracks and takes a poo in the neighbours toilet. Classic!
Some posters here sound like the kind of people I'm so happy that they dont live in my neighbourhood. Suggesting putting it thru the letterbox, or back in his yard, report them as missing etc. is only going to escalate things. You have to live alongside these people so you need an amicable compromise if at all possible.
Here's what I would do. I would approach the neighbour again having rehearsed exactly what I intend to say. The following points need to be made: you are very unhappy that dogs keep pooing in your garden; there are no other dogs in the neighbourhood so it seems likely it is his dogs; if he wont accept that it could be/is his dogs then you'll be forced to get a photo of them doing it which seems a bit petty; ask him what he will do if you get photo evidence. I would also try and deomnstrate to them that you are reasonably by saying that you're not a dog lover, but that you accept that they'll bark when let out in the morning at 7am or whatever. There's nothing you can do about it, so dont make it part of the issue. Besides, it is the only thing you can do when you have dogs.
If the neighbour refuses to budge, then get the photo. Show it to him. At that stage you tell him that you'll have to report it to the autorities if he does not stop it happening. Try to keep calm, and display that you are reasonable, that you're only doing this because you are really upset that it continues to happen, and that you have no alternative but to adopt this approach unless he does something about it.

?? had that here and solved without wasting time with neighbour. They can keep away from here with their dog muckYou work for the UN dont you? C'mon, dont be coy....
Maybe I missed the post, but I dont see that you posted how you resolved it, or have contributed with any suggestions as to how to resolve the issue.?? had that here and solved without wasting time with neighbour. They can keep away from here with their dog muck
hardly contribute to silly posts about UN. How does that resolve it?Maybe I missed the post, but I dont see that you posted how you resolved it, or have contributed with any suggestions as to how to resolve the issue.
I already posted a link that says tobacco is bad for dogs. But I just wondered what would be the situation legally if someone put out tobacco and the dog died. Tobacco is not an illegal substance but would using it like that make it illegal.You could possibly scare them off your own patch by leaving down a treat covered in tobacco. This will make the dogs sick but will not do any harm to them. .

I do not even know what you mean re UN or why I would sound like someone from the UN and if you just want to be smart I will not get into that. UN is not a constructive commentI assume you have already read my post above that was my suggestion towards resolving the issue. You have disagreed with it so you'll forgive me for the assumption. I'm not sure how else you expect me to help in the resolution of the issue.
So I again suggest that you contribute to resolving the issue. You have previously come across this issue, and seen it resolved. But you continually fail to provide any helpful, constructive suggestion. That's not exactly helpful now, is it?
First clear off the dog muck cos dogs are attracted to the smell of their own muck and that confuses their sense of smell. Then try get off my garden.http://www.pet-bliss.com/acatalog/Get_Off_My_Garden_Crystals.html#a2628I made the UN comment based on your first post - it was not exactly helpful, and was most likely going to escalate things between neighbours, which is never a good thing in my opinion. So I was being sarcastic, using the lowest form of wit to make a point. It seems to have offended you, which was not my intention. So I apologise.
So....any chance you can shed some light on how to resolve it. Having been waiting for a while, my expectations are growing - I hope it's not a let down!!
The dog warden can make him stop, hence the importance of photographic evidence.Even if I did get a photo I dont think he would act with regard to stopping it.
