Neighbour's dog fouling my garden

Definitely shop around for the fence! However if you don't want to lose the plants then some tightly-bound chicken wire could be just the thing.

Please don't hurt the dog it isn't the animal's fault.

IF the dog escaped onto public land then the dog warden will come and pick him up and the owners will have to pay a fee to get him back.

I wouldnt just loose him out and let him run though, if the poor dog got run over you would never forgive yourself, at the end of the day its not the dogs fault hes got irresponsible owners.

Think i would just get something cheap to block your garden off. In the meantime i would bag the poop up and leave it on there side!!!

Shovel up turds and flick over fence.. childish but gratifying!

usually your responsibility is the fencing to the right of your garden..

Yup agree with pigpen! when the fence to the right of our property collapsed due to heavy winds it was our responsibility to sort it out/well the landlord had to anyway, and the following year when the fence to our left blew down( heavy winds and yes they were pretty bad) our neighbours had to fix it!

As far as the dog fouling goes, I feel your pain had a similiar problem not to long ago but was a bit more complicated and the fact that the dog was insistent on coming into our Garden( and having a cr%p and then actually having the cheek to bark at us in our own garden, I dont Agree with hurting an animal conversely I sure as hell wont stand around doing nothing if such an animal caused a threat to myself or my family! so there are always 2 ways of looking at it!

Chicken wire sounds good to me, hope you get your problem neighbour sorted he sounds like a pig...........:eek:

It should be marked on your your land registry plans which boundaries are your responsibility to maintain. Did you keep all the documents from when you moved house? Also, if it is your fence, the fence posts will be on your side with the 'nice' side facing outwards.

Regardless of whose responsibility it is I'd be putting in some chain link fencing which can be bent around the tree but bear in mind that, if it eats into your garden, the longer it stays your neighbour *may* be entitled to claim the extra square footage of garden as her own.

it keeps our neighbours' cats from pooing in our garden.

Same probem here with neighbour's dog fouling our garden every morning. Neighbour apologises and "can't figure out how dog getting through". However, I told neigbour I would be putting up an electric fence. Did so - no doubt a sharp yelp or two and end of problem. Cheap, easy to install and effective !! Highly recommend it to all those of us who have this problem.
