Help - hundreds of dog poos in shared garden, and pee in the close

  • Unfortunately if I close the back garden door they tend to poo in the close instead (as I’ve tried that before, and found mess outside my door). Despite a letter out and landlords involved no sign of improvement sadly. Plus after that confrontation I’m a bit nervous to attempt catching the dog on camera again.

    Man up. You're not doing anything wrong.

    Is your door closest to the outside door?

    I would keep it closed and try to dissuade dogs from the area around my front door - not sure how, maybe others have suggestions? When others are inconvenienced by this they might change.



    Has your LL made any progress on getting clean ups organised? Honestly, I think the best way to deal with this is to get it cleaned, and hope the cost encourages a little more cleanliness.
