WHY Cant she take her dog for a walk!!!!

We live on a dirt track road with terraced houses up either side. There is a space further up the road where everyone parks their cars. When dh is at work I put a rotary airer in our space to dry our washing.

Last year a girl moved into a rented house. The day she moved in we found dog poo on the road right outside our house. We have cctv due to previous neighbours threatening us, which showed her dog poo and her not pick it up. Dh knocked on her door and explained her dog had pooed and could she please pick it up. She denied it was hers, he pointed to cctv and said as it was literally on our doorstep we could see clearly that it was her dog.

Her dog is constantly weeing on our doorstep and has also weed on my washing bag full of washing as I was hanging it up, my airer and even on my son's leg!!!
NOT once has she apologised but has said "well I can't help where he wees" Dh (sometime last year) said "yes you can you can put it on a lead and take it for a walk" (seriously we live 1 min away from a field/grassy area and 5 min walk takes you to the moors its not difficult)

And today...Yet again we've walked outside to a wee trail on our step.... its horrible as it is but come summer it 1) stinks!!! and 2) we cant sit on the step if we wanted to watch the kids playing out (we don't have gardens)

What more can we do??? we've asked her not to let it wee all over the step/airer/washing/child and it seems to go in one ear and out the other. She literally opens her door....dog goes out and does business and then it goes back in.

Are we really that unreasonable to expect someone to put their dog on a lead to stop it weeing all over our property (and my child!!!) Is it really too much to ask?

Try a rolled up newspaper. When the dog pees on a person whack the stupid owner on the nose. Grin

Seriously, she should be told, in no uncertain terms, every time her dog does this that it is not on. Make her dog peeing on you as unpleasant experience for her as it is for you.

And keep mentioning it to her mother and the landlady over and over again. Keep the problem on their radar too.

LadyDeadpool Letting your dog pee on other people's washing and children on their own property without any apology or future attempts to control the dog is more than just rude imo.

Super soaker every time. Peeing on your kids is disgusting.

Sorry you have this selfish bitch disregarding and disrespecting your space. You should post the poop to her, see how she likes it.

But this is not the dog’s fault. He is completely vulnerable and helpless and can only ‘perform’ within her parameters. But the lazy bitch should be referred to as “it”; not an innocent dog who has nowhere else to wee.

Lastly, maybe note it all down, get other neighbours involved. Personally I’d call the RSPCA. I am fed up of shit people in charge of poor dogs and not bothering to properly exercise them.

If this were my dog id be utterly mortified and would do whatever i could to rectify the situation

SadieHH · 29/03/2018 15:29

I can’t get my head round you putting your washing line up in your parking space...how does that work?

WiddlinDiddling · 29/03/2018 20:03

Yeah, it's not the dogs fault the owner is a fuckpig.

We really need a diagram of the layout of your front step/garden/path/street here as its confusing people (I think I understand...)

Set the kids to piss on her step.

Speak to your local dogwarden (if you can find one!!) and ask themto speak to the owner.

This really falls under antisocial behaviour and between teh dog warden and possibly environmental health the council HAS got powers to ask her to control her dog better and not allow it to be a nuisance, including a recommendation to walk it on a lead not leave it loose on the fronts, take it to training classes, etc etc - and if those recommendations are not followed, then a court case and fines etc.

Next time you see it out, call the relevant authority (council? ranger?) and report a stray dog on the loose.

You can a spray when you are training puppies not to wee in the house. You spray it where they have wee-ed and they are meant not to go back there. Could you spray that around your front door?
