Also, you can train your dog to the difference between going out to poop, versus walking for exercise so that they don't poop while your walking near your neighbor's yard. Alternatively, you could train the dog to only poop on the street. I live on a corner lot, and people walk their dogs past here a lot. Dogs pee and poop on my lawn frequently. Neighbor's Dog Craps On My Lawn, lotte world casino seoul, free poker no registration no download, buffet a roulette wayne. I'm like you - no dogs. My pets are an indoor cat, and a bird who has her own 'house' to poop in. I SHOULD be able to walk on my lawn barefoot without having to look for 'land mines'. But, unfortunately, I have neighbors. Neighbors who own dogs. Dogs that roam freely throughout the neighborhood. So I have a yard full of dog crap. I walk out the front door of my house this morning at 8:35AM to find a 40-something woman allowing her leashed dog to take a big steaming crap on my front yard. Dogs do not defecate in gardens due to malicious intent. They are merely looking for a spot to relieve themselves and your garden looks welcoming. If you're dealing with your own dog, or a neighbor's dog whose presence you don't mind, you can try to create a welcoming atmosphere for the dogs away from the garden. Pick a shaded area.
Dear Lizzie,
How do you stop neighbors from letting their dogs pee on young landscape plants near the edge of your yard?

What’s a homeowner to do?! Dog’s gotta pee, plants gotta grow, and you can’t sit on your stoop monitoring your yard all day long. If this is happening while dog owners are out walking their dogs, it’s perfectly OK to speak up about the issue. But rather than tell someone what not to do, it’s always best to try to frame something as a positive suggestion.

“Robert, if you don’t mind trying to get Luna to pee on the other side of the sidewalk, that would be great.” Or, “Sarah, it would be great if you could encourage Coco to use this part of the yard instead of the rose bushes.” When given in a friendly, light tone, gentle suggestions like these should cause little argument. (Although after our last neighbor-related post, I’m guessing that a few of you encounter eye rolls and gripes no matter how nice you are about it.)

As we said before, you can’t be there to monitor this all the time, so if you need to put up a “helpful reminder” sign, that could be OK. It’s really up to you and how you feel about the image it portrays. Just as with speaking to someone face to face, you’ll want to be careful and kind with your language. “Please no peeing on the shrubs.” “Water, yes. Pee, no.” “We thank your dog for not peeing on our garden.”

Harder to manage is the neighbor’s dog whose activity at the edge of his property still gets on yours. It’s hard to ask people to change their behavior, and even harder to get a dog to change its behavior, especially if the dog is able to be in the yard unattended. In this scenario, it’s best to do what you can to control the problem from your end. Can you rearrange what’s planted in this particular spot? Can you do anything with fencing or to create a barrier so that a lifted leg doesn’t result in dead plants? Or, perhaps, meet your neighbor — with some dog treats in hand — and clue him in. “Fred, Louie is an awesome dog, but I’m not sure if you’re aware that he’s peeing on our rose bushes. Any chance you can try to find him a new favorite spot?”
