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?

Does your camera notify you every time someone walks past? That might add to you being wound up by things that don’t really matter.

Bit rude but on the other hand could deter rats?

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.

I have so many great names I would use for male dogs but I will prob never use them for this same reason!

Owning bitches is so much easier in this respect.

Oh and no - I wouldnt let my dog pee on someone's bin, tyres, grave area, front garden etc.

I wouldn’t let my dog wee on someone’s bin. Wouldn’t overly bother me on mine though. You can also use it for bagged dog poo if you like. It’s a bin after all.

I don't let my dog no but it wouldn't bother me if one did on mine I give it a wash every couple of weeks same as the corner of my garden wall. I spent ages teaching my dog what's ok and I'm sure ring bells have me saying 'off the grass you don't live there' 😂

Not of dog piss though

Do you go and smell the bottom of the outside of your bin?

vodkaredbullgirl · 11/05/2026 22:47

My dog doesn't know how to cock his leg up, never has.

MyPuppyLuv · 11/05/2026 22:46

No, and I don't allow them to go on boundary shrubs or car tyres, either.

Lou670 · 11/05/2026 22:44

No I don't. I have dogs and on bin day and all the bins are out in the street I will pull my dogs away from them. It's your property and why can't dog owners just pull their dog away?

I agree it’s the smell of it that also bothers me and the complete lack of consideration for others property? Just seems so rude to me

Would bother me, it’s grim. And yes I would say something.

humptydumptyfelloff · 11/05/2026 22:40

I have dogs and no I wouldn’t let them pee up against someone’s bin.

I would be inclined to be outside at the time the neighbour walks there dog and hover round the bin area when they walk past so it doesn’t happen a few times.

or if it did start to pee I would tell the dog no but then I am menopausal and little things are really pissing me off at the moment so I could be just being over dramatic I dunno 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn't bother me. It's a bin, they live outside. Dog weeing on it causes no bother

vodkaredbullgirl · 11/05/2026 22:35

Wouldn't bother me, the bin stays out in the back garden.
