To ask them to pick up dog poo?

[WitsEnd10]

Next door are currently having an extension built. Several fence panels between our garden and theirs were removed to allow the builders access whilst digging the foundations, which finished six weeks ago. Also the fence between next door but one and theirs has been removed to allow the builders access through NDBO’s garden. However, NDBO currently have family staying with them who have a dog, and they keep letting this dog out into their garden and it comes into ours and poos. Three this week so far. The children found two whilst playing, thankfully not with their feet! WIBU to come round and ask them to pick it up? And WIBU to ask the builders to block off our garden now they no longer need access to our garden?

Definitely get everything blocked off again. Don’t bother talking about the dogs just say you want the fences back in, you’ve done your bit accommodating the builders, now it ends.

Of course you're not being unreasonable!

They shouldn't let the dog into the garden unsupervised if the garden isn't secure. When I had dogs, if we visited anywhere that didn't have a dog-proof garden, I put them on the lead if they needed to go out to pee or poo.

So the new fence will be attached to the end of the extension so they’re not going in until it’s all finished (so our garden will now be fenced to the extension and then their outer wall sits on the boundary line) but I’d like the builders to block off access.

I'd be asking them to come and pick up the dog poo, and then telling them to make sure their dog doesn't come into my garden again

I'd ask them to block access or just put something temporary up myself, if I could. It wouldn't need to be particularly sturdy, unless the dog is determined. Even an old sheet hanging in the gap and weighted down at the bottom or a sheet of cardboard (if it's not raining) might do the trick.

YANBU definitely get the builders to put the fence back.

I’d put something like this up if they won’t block it off immediately. Some people are so inconsiderate. And no I wouldn’t ask them to pick up The dog poo. I’d do it myself to be certain it was properly and carefully done

Yes, tell them now.
