Dog fouling our garden, all help needed - warning, rant ahead!

Get a shotgun, that will sort the dogs out, if that fails you could turn it on yourself

We were getting big poos on our front lawn, not sure if dog or cat? Luckily we've got a holly tree, so DH cut off a branch and stuck it in the grass where the offending poo was being deposited, and it hasn't been back since!

Couldn't bring myself to read any more. Can't deny that it would be an effective solution though.

Cats and dogs are different. You can control when and where dogs !!!!!!. Very difficult to do this with cats.

Update on the situation - LOL I have gone to war!

As well as the police, Environmental Health at the council have finally decided (after I blanket emailed the entire council) to get involved so they are sending a letter and will follow it up with a visit - although they have warned unless the dogs stray on public land they can do no more.

My councillor says there is nothing he can do but has recommended some mediation agencies and suggested we try and get the owner to sit down with us and discuss suitable compensation. He has advised a legal complaint would be costly.

I had a long chat with our neighbour last night who is also suffering (his and our gardens both back onto the offender's house). He thinks that the owner goes away a lot and so leaves the dogs alone to fend for themselves. A call to the RSPCA is now being planned.

As for now, we have tried to repair the fence as best as possible and we are getting someone round at the weekend to put some chickenwire across and then I will be spreading the bleach around.

RSPCA is probably the best bet! they take no prisoners... take pics of the dogs outside and present evidence to them! this happened in our street... well not the poo but neighbours left dog out ALL night howling! if i didnt like animals i wouldve shot it!! our other neighbour loves dogs so took pics and phoned RSPCA... dog disapeared RESULT - plus he's probably now in a loving home!
