Dear Lizzie,
Neighbors Dog Craps On My Lawn Mower
No one wants to step in pile of dog poop. If a canine is a member of your family, poop piles are expected. But with the aid of some natural deterrents, you can encourage pooping in certain areas of the yard. If poop in your yard comes from neighborhood dogs, these same deterrents can help. Also, you can train your dog to the difference between going out to poop, versus walking for exercise so that they don't poop while your walking near your neighbor's yard. Alternatively, you could train the dog to only poop on the street. I live on a corner lot, and people walk their dogs past here a lot. Dogs pee and poop on my lawn frequently. Talk to Your Neighbors. If you notice that the dog invading your lawns is from your neighbor, you can meet and talk to them about the detrimental effect the dog cause to your lawn. Even though this should be an easy solution, prepare yourself for possible unfriendly responses from a might-be unapologetic neighbor. My neighbor has 2 dogs a pit bull and a mutt. They are always loose in the neighborhood. I have caught them in the act of crapping in my front yard. I have to be careful when walking on my grass because who knows what I will step on. Any suggestions on what I can do to keep them off and still be a good neighbor?

How do you stop neighbors from letting their dogs pee on young landscape plants near the edge of your yard?
What's a homeowner to do?! Dog's gotta pee, plants gotta grow, and you can't sit on your stoop monitoring your yard all day long. If this is happening while dog owners are out walking their dogs, it's perfectly OK to speak up about the issue. But rather than tell someone what not to do, it's always best to try to frame something as a positive suggestion.

'Robert, if you don't mind trying to get Luna to pee on the other side of the sidewalk, that would be great.' Or, 'Sarah, it would be great if you could encourage Coco to use this part of the yard instead of the rose bushes.' When given in a friendly, light tone, gentle suggestions like these should cause little argument. (Although after our last neighbor-related post, I'm guessing that a few of you encounter eye rolls and gripes no matter how nice you are about it.)

As we said before, you can't be there to monitor this all the time, so if you need to put up a 'helpful reminder' sign, that could be OK. It's really up to you and how you feel about the image it portrays. Just as with speaking to someone face to face, you'll want to be careful and kind with your language. 'Please no peeing on the shrubs.' 'Water, yes. Pee, no.' 'We thank your dog for not peeing on our garden.'

Harder to manage is the neighbor's dog whose activity at the edge of his property still gets on yours. It's hard to ask people to change their behavior, and even harder to get a dog to change its behavior, especially if the dog is able to be in the yard unattended. In this scenario, it's best to do what you can to control the problem from your end. Can you rearrange what's planted in this particular spot? Can you do anything with fencing or to create a barrier so that a lifted leg doesn't result in dead plants? Or, perhaps, meet your neighbor — with some dog treats in hand — and clue him in. 'Fred, Louie is an awesome dog, but I'm not sure if you're aware that he's peeing on our rose bushes. Any chance you can try to find him a new favorite spot?' Stardew valley slot machine pattern.
