"No dog pee" sign - is one style more effective?

That being said, the most memorable sign I ever saw was posted at a campground. It was a fake tombstone displaying the following verse:

Here he lies
all stiff and hard
the last d——d dog
that c——d in my yard.

Wait am I the only person who cannot at all figure out what the second censored word is supposed to be??

Past tense of a synonym for poop.

My dog can’t read so all of the signs are equally ineffective for her.

I'm thinking of skipping the signs and putting something toxic on my lawn. F irresponsible dog owners.

Just buy your own dog and have em poop in the other guys lawn

That’s been my case. 2-3 of my neighbors made their dogs pee on the flowers I have under my mailbox. It’s a neighborhood with 0.5-1.5 acre yards. They came where the sign and the flowers are.

Go for the most irritating repellent.

Ha. I came to say this exact same thing. The ones that say “please be respectful” make me vomit.

Sounds like you shit everywhere like your dog.

Why should I be friendly to a rude and fat ass like you?

In the suburban neighborhood where I live these animals dont come thru our yards at all. If they do it’s small potatoes compared to the number of dogs. Everyone got a dog during Covid and there are definitely more people complaining about them. Our HOA is dealing with more complaints.

Also if you are a dog owner what makes you think it is reasonable to let your dog go up in someone’s yard?

pp here - NOT a dog owner. I don’t have any pets.

I didn’t say that dog’s should “go up in someone’s yard”. I just think that in light of nature living naturally in the outdoors (even if part of that outdoors is someone’s property), the dogs wouldn’t seem to make a significant difference. I hadn’t realized your HOA was nature-proof. I fully agree it’s your yard and you can do what you want, whether or not it makes sense to me. Put up a sign, or a dozen signs, or a fence. Maybe your HOA can pass some regulations for dog owners if there are enough complaints.

Personally, I think cats are a lot more intrusive. I’ve never found a stray dog in my fenced backyard. Cats (which I’m allergic to), on the other hand, are apparently not deterred by a fence, and their owners don’t even try to keep them on a leash and out of people’s yards, much less try to control/clean up after any waste they leave behind.

Many HOAs have rules about putting signs up in yards too, lol.

Then just spray pesticide and don't put up any sign.

That is what I will do.

True, I would not put a sign like that. Instead I would put a friendly reminder that the yard is sprayed with toxic chemicals.

I'd rather that sign. However, your neighbors will judge you for an entirely different reason!

Who cares what does a trash thinks.

This has been my success.

The people who walk their dogs don't notice that the sign has been up for weeks?

Bear spray.

These animals are not as disgusting as you and your dog.

The sings may have some owners comply. But rest of us don’t care. Dogs will pee when they need to. Just like all the other animals peeing and crapping in yards.

[Anonymous]

Put some of the little signs that you just had a chemical treatment.
