Neighbours dog keeps pooing in our front garden

[celebrate30]

We have moved into a new estate & our neighbours dog 2 doors up poohs in our front garden every morning & in another neighbours. We havn't said anything to the dog owners but another huge pile left in our garden this morning & we have had enough. They leave him out the front at 7am on their way to work for a run for about 10 mins, the other neighbours have caught him in the act.
The other neighbours have contacted the residents comittee who are going to put clean up after your dog signs on our road & my husband wants to pop in to them tonight. It is definitely there dog as he's the only one on the road. What would you do?

I work from home and my window looks onto my drive - every day I watched people let their dogs wander up the drive and piss on my property.
I bought some of the dog repellent stuff and sprayed it everywhere - the dogs stopped.
Not sure if it would work for poo?

I am a dog owner, and this is completely unacceptable behaviour! I hope that your talk with the neighbours stops this, OP!

@Laiste that’s great that yours are so well trained. We tried and tried and are still trying to train our boy but he’s not got it yet and huskies are apparently notorious for bad recall. We live in hope!

But yes, off lead dogs with twatish owners do our head in! X

If you can
Catch dog take to local vet say He is stray. They will have pay to get him back .
Keep repeating.

Get a horse, over feed it and let it graze on their patch.

We had the same issue and the dog warden was great. They were very concerned about an uncontrolled dog wandering about and leaving poo where children play. Eventually the police got involved and ultimately the dog was seized. If people can’t be bothered to look after their dogs properly, they shouldn’t be allowed to keep them. And they should get a massive fine.

well i've heard that about Huskies. Well done for keeping at it There's a couple round here who go out on those massive long leads. They're gorgeous!

We had a miniature dachshund a few years ago. She was harder work than the Danes!

Sight hounds are notorious for bad recall iirc., for obvious reasons i guess. Why are Huskies hard to train to recall though? I would have thought in loads of snow you'd need them to come when you call

That's horrible! Hope they get it sorted.

@Laiste I know! You’d think it would be in their genes to come when called as you can hardly chase after them in deep snow! There’s a man who lives in the same town as us who has two huskies that walk at his heel without a lead, we’ve had numerous conversations with him about how he managed it and have tried everything he suggested to get our boy to learn recall but he’s nowhere near getting it. It’s a shame as he would really benefit from being able to get a decent off lead run. We haven’t had him “done” either, a few people and the vet have suggested that may help but we’re a bit reluctant to do it x
