Yabvu, as long as dog owners pick up after their dogs which let's face it we still struggle to get all dog owners to do, then we can hardly start trying to police where they wee.
Also l presume your ba k garden doesn't stink yet you let your dog wee there so what's the difference.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 20/03/2019 09:51

Park somewhere else?

MyKingdomForACaramel · 20/03/2019 09:52

You’re being a bit silly - dogs do Wee on pavements. However you can either - buy a special disinfectant that’s made to discourage dogs from peeing in am certain area, or also biological washing liquid works too (not non bio)

PigletJohn · 20/03/2019 09:53

Keep a watering can on the doorstep.

Water and a dash of disinfectant or household cleaner.

Tip it over the peeing spot as often as you can.

RustyBear · 20/03/2019 09:54

Keep a spray bottle handy and if you can get to the gate quickly, get out there as soon as you see him coming. If the neighbour sees you spraying it might get the message through.

Myheartbelongsto · 20/03/2019 09:54

I'd knock in and say it to your neighbour. At first I thought you but actually I wouldn't like to have to dodge that when walking into my house.

Ollypops14 · 20/03/2019 09:54

Invite the dog in to use the toilet !!!!

greenelephantscarf · 20/03/2019 09:55

yanbu
spray bottle with perfume (those christmas gifts) or garlic powder/chilli powder diluted in water and sprayed on as deterrent.
it's well possible that a fox also marks there...

NutElla5x · 20/03/2019 09:56

I would think you were mental if you knocked on my door to complain that my dog was peeing on the pavement. Haha wtaf?!!!

Bookworm4 · 20/03/2019 09:56

I'm sorry but FFS was my immediate response. How dare a dog pee on a public road, get a grip, I highly doubt there's 'a puddle of pee' I'm sure your darling DS can step over it.

spiderlight · 20/03/2019 09:59

Warm water and bio washing powder will clear it and will break down the smell, which might deter him from doing it there again.

Climbingahoneytree · 20/03/2019 10:00

I know it's on the pavement but when DS jumps out of the car there is usually a puddle of piss.

Park somewhere else. This is a problem you could have literally anywhere.

Motherofcreek · 20/03/2019 10:01

I’d absolutely knock on and ask her to stop it. Horrible.

Widowodiw · 20/03/2019 10:01

It’s on the pavement and not on your property so you are being unreasonable I’m afraid.

CabbageHippy · 20/03/2019 10:02

what do you want them to do, cork the dog until it passes your driveway?

countrygardenx · 20/03/2019 10:02

@Bookworm4 why do you highly doubt it? Of course there will be a puddle it all trickles down.

I just can't understand why you would let your dog go and piss in front of your neighbours house.

Ilovelala · 20/03/2019 10:03

Where do you want it to go? Anywhere but near your house or what?

countrygardenx · 20/03/2019 10:04

@Ilovelala in there back garden maybe?

CardinalCat · 20/03/2019 10:06

You're being a little bit unreasonable I think.

If I'm walking the dogs and they look like they're going to pee or poo right outside someone's house, I try to cajole them along a bit so that they do it away from the drive or gate. that's good manners. However, it's a public pavement I presume, and I'm not sure there's much you can do short of giving it a blast with the pressure washer every time it happens, which will perhaps get the message across to your neighbour (but is also licence for them to call you hyacinth bucket and laugh at you a bit.) Are you close to your neighbours? I wouldn't risk a good relationship over this. I also don't think it's a bad lesson for your child to learn that he has to watch where he puts his feet in general, when getting out of a car/ walking along a pavement, if there's what looks like a stream of piss.
That's not to say I don't have some sympathy for your situation though- it's a little thoughtless of your neighbour but I doubt it's being done on purpose.

Kaddm · 20/03/2019 10:06

It is pretty rude to continually let your dog piss outside your neighbours house especially when there is a small child getting out directly onto it. Once or twice, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but continually is just rude. I suppose at least is isn’t dog shit.

Croprotationinthe14thcentury · 20/03/2019 10:07

In Spain the dog walkers all walk around with a bottle of washing up liquid hot water and when their dog/s are they spray the area unhelpful

SpamChaudFroid · 20/03/2019 10:09

Try washing the area with Simple Solution, or if you don't have that some dissolved bio washing powder. The enzymes break down the pissy smell.

I don't think you can control what others do on public highways though. If only!

NutElla5x · 20/03/2019 10:10

If there is nearly always a puddle of piss when you get out of your car AND it stinks as bad as you say I think there must be seriously wrong with that dog,so unless your neighbour gets it to the vet sharpish I doubt it will live for much longer anyway to be honest!

Bookworm4 · 20/03/2019 10:11

In the garden? Is that the only place your dog pees? Does he hold it in on walks? You are being ridiculous, I'm sure other dogs pee outside your house, you are prepared to cause problems over something so petty then you are being small minded.

diddl · 20/03/2019 10:11

So does your dog never pee in the street whilst out for a walk?
