Do you let your dog piss up someone else’s bin?

Every week when we put the bin out ready for collection, our ring doorbell picks up the same neighbour who lives round the corner, let their big ass dog piss up our bin. Would this bother you and would you say something?

Yes. My dog does

That was a joke. I don't let him wee on cars but I let him wee on fences etc because that is natural and normal dog behaviour and it's one of the reasons we take our dogs for walks.

A male dog will not wee in the garden before going out because that's not how male dogs behave. So bugger off with your shaming. I'm just a normal human being taking a dog for a walk. This thread is completely bonkers. You're all like the insane neighbour in Small Prophets. Especially Zov who clearly adores her bin and spends much time looking after it.

Don't let your dog pee on my fence! (or etc...whatever that means).

Then you should be ashamed of yourself. You are supposed to be in control of your dog.

It’s just rude and inconsiderate, isn’t it? And yet another dog related annoyance that makes me continue my slow but steady slide from dog ambivalence to dog dislike.

Charlottapannacotta · 12/05/2026 21:40

Got a dog and no. Wouldn’t allow mine to wee on any bins

I think the main reason I've had female dogs is because of cocking leg up everywhere, much like fellas really. Loved my male dogs growing up but lifting leg to pee and nothing you can do about it in that moment 😆

It would of course be nice of the owner to use different routes so not always your bin. Personally I really couldn't care less, it's a bin, not intending to rub my hands down it.

Much better than dog shit as you step outside of your house, now that's irresponsible and lazy.

Think some people need a dog to calm them down a bit 😂

Too busy looking after their council bins. Not enough love to go round.

Zov · 12/05/2026 21:25

Well there is none over mine ... Or anyone else's in my street.

Tell me you're a dog owner without telling me you're a dog owner! 😂

I mean… ok? Just because there’s none in yours, doesn’t mean there’s none in mine. And I was talking about mine, not yours, obviously.

TulipsMakeMeHappy · 12/05/2026 21:34

Dog owners who let their dogs pee e on niños or cars or other people's players property are gross.
Nancy Birtwhistle posted a dog/cat fox deterrent not long ago you could try.

BeardySchnauzer · 12/05/2026 21:27

Well since I got my dog I don’t have cat shit all over my garden so that was a win

I do have a cat that persistently tries to get into my house though. Total pain in the summer when I want to keep the garden doors open

Funny this, but I NEVER see cat shit all over a pavement. See plenty of dog shit though. 100% from the same dogs who piss all over peoples bins and cardboard recycling bag!

And people wonder why so many people dislike dog owners?! 😂

EXACTLY this! 👏 There are some really entitled dog owners, there really are! Some of the posts on here are batshit. These people walk among us! 😬

BeardySchnauzer · 12/05/2026 21:23

Well you guys are all lucky and in my council area we have to buy our own bins. I was livid when someone stole one of mine!

i have a command for my dogs so if they start to cock their leg against something I don’t want them to they will stop. Ultimately they are territory marking and once they’ve emptied their bladder they just cock their leg and there’s no wee.

the vitriol towards dog owners on here is odd given more comments than not from dog owners have said they do pull their dog away

I know it’s horrible, I was just saying a cat can’t be controlled 24 hours a day, unlike a dog

MN and the bin obsessions.
It’s a plastic bin, if you’re that worried chuck a bucket of water on it.

Are you kidding?! Why should I? Because there are so many terrible entitled irresponsible dog owners who let their mutts piss and shit wherever they like, I have to chuck a bucket of water over my dog-piss covered bin so I don't get the foul stinking dog piss all over my hands and jeans etc. Good grief. No wonder so many people loathe so many dog owners now! 🙄

Oftentimes they are broken or lost by the crew anyway. Shocking really. We must treat our bins with the reverence and respect they deserve. Only referring to them in hushed tones.

Perhaps people should take better care of their bins. Accompany them when they’re outside. Gone are the days you could tie them up outside a shop.

rwalker · 12/05/2026 21:15

HortiGal · 12/05/2026 21:09

To add; the bins belong to the council, they can and do remove them if they so choose to.

So it’s ok that someone else has decided to keep a pet that they can’t supervise, and therefore I’m now responsible for cleaning its shit off my garden?

It would bother me enough to shout at the selfish fecker or alternatively leave a shit on top of his bin.
