It's on public land but appreciate it could be frustrating. You can't dictate where their dog pisses though.

Jeyes fluid in a bucket of water and rinsed off might deter the dog from peeing there?

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 20/03/2019 10:13

I don’t think YABU. We have a dog, we don’t let him pee outside peoples property. If he looks like he might we just continue walking and gently pull him on until we cross the road and he goes by a tree. It’s not difficult!

NotTheMrMenAgain · 20/03/2019 10:13

Put neat zoflora on the peeing area - should get rid of the scents that attract the dog to wee there in the first place, or at least repel the dog with its smell.

Drogosnextwife · 20/03/2019 10:14

Are you sure it's dog piss 😂. I second a big bucket of disinfectant, probably chuck some up your walls to deter any other dogs as well. I don't know if the smell of disinfectant will do that but worth a try.

ponyprincess · 20/03/2019 10:14

I agree with sauvingnon

The answer is Zoflora

Ginseng1 · 20/03/2019 10:15

Does your dog ever wee on the road?! If someone came to my door n asked me to stop my dog peeing on the pavement I'd think they were looper n it would def sour any sort if relationship we might have! Its not particularly nice but that's life run some water over it maybe buy that spray deterrent if u think it'd work.

ravenmum · 20/03/2019 10:17

Don't use bleach as you would basically be creating toxic fumes for you to breathe in instead, when it mixes with the ammonia. Tbh the best thing for getting rid of the smell properly is Febreze, but you'd look bananas spraying that on your gate Grin

Ilovelala · 20/03/2019 10:18

Does your dog wear nappies on walks?

Motherofcreek · 20/03/2019 10:19

It’s literally out side her gate. My toddlers would end up walking through it. You shouldnt have to walk through or step over dog piss to get out of home. It’s disgusting.

shockandawe1 · 20/03/2019 10:19

Is there such a thing as a repellent spray for dogs? I know you can buy citronella spray for cats to try and keep them from stuff you don't want them near, e.g. your Xmas tree.

bigKiteFlying · 20/03/2019 10:24

I'd wash it down with water and some bleach - then maybe try and break the habit by trying some dog wee repellent stuff - though not sure if they work outside - but might be enough to put it off.

I'm not sure saying anything will help.

JemSynergy · 20/03/2019 10:24

I used to have a dog who would always piss all up our wall, once the dog even came onto my drive to do it, in front of me. I go out every week and just splash bleach/disinfectant around the wall and it seems to stop dogs from pissing up it.

birdonawire1 · 20/03/2019 10:24

I'd tip a lot of neat bleach over the area it pees. Every day until it decides to go elsewhere.

Amazon seems to sell some - but not sure if they are more for indoors.

BluebadgenPIP · 20/03/2019 10:27

Why did you need a picture?🤷‍♀️

Rainbowsandsnowdrops · 20/03/2019 10:27

I laughed when I saw there’s another thread on here saying builders are peeing on her bins! 😂 Now that’s gross!

Dogs however- yabu it’s gotta go when it’s go. Smile

bigKiteFlying · 20/03/2019 10:28

Apparently the jelly stuff also deters dogs

I had this problem, especially with dog poo. I read that mixing alka seltzer with water and rising the area down not only takes the smell away but also acts like a repellent. It's honestly worked.

mcmooberry · 20/03/2019 10:29

I don't think you are being unreasonable at all, I would be not expect any neighbour to be happy if my dog did that and would get a bucket out and dilute it myself!! I would get some of that spray a PP mentioned.

countrygardenx · 20/03/2019 10:32

@Ginseng1 that's not the point if you kept letting your dog piss right In front of your neighbours house everyday you would think it was odd for them to get frustrated? I don't think so. I shouldn't have to stepped out in to dog piss every morning.

Can't believe a dog owner has a problem with a dog weeing. It is outside, concrete doesn't retain a smell, it gets washed away in the rain, the dog can't really help where he needs to take a wee.

YABVU. Especially for a dog owner.

ravenmum · 20/03/2019 10:42

If it's a big puddle, maybe he's not letting it out for long times and the poor creature is so desperate that it lets it all out the moment that it is taken outside. In which case the owner may not be the most super-conscientious type!

I hate it when my dog pees on people's gardens, and try to run down the street as fast as I can to a good peeing spot before she has time to squat Grin.

Seriously, not bleach! Bleach creates toxic fumes. Anything but bleach.

Tartanwallpaper · 20/03/2019 10:50

At least it's not on any plants or grass OP.

MrsDeanWinchester75 · 20/03/2019 10:52

Maybe time your disinfecting with their walk, tell them to mind their dogs paws on the bleach and that you're trying to get rid of the urine smell.

Dotty1970 · 20/03/2019 10:52

I wouldn't ring 999 but I'd definitely ring 101 and get it logged with them.
