Dog pooped, I picked it up, neighbor still yelled

Another Team Neighbor member who might actually be that neighbor:

Is there anything we (cranky neighbors who don't appreciate dog shit remnants in the yard - we're a proud clan) can put on our yard, short of poison, to dissuade the dogs from coming up on the grass?

How about a water sprinkler attached to motion detector?

I once lived on a street where this guy would walk his dog and he'd have the dog on a retractable leash and the dog would walk all over people's yards, right up to their front door and around the sides of their house. So irritating.

This! We found a neighbor's huge dog right on our front step once when I opened the door to take my PreK-er to school one morning. I was so startled. I slammed the door shut quickly so that it couldn't try to come into the house. Thank god I didn't send my son out first. Extremely rude behavior.

I have a dog and I discourage pooping in other's yards. We go for the strip between sidewalk and road. Or go to the park. Or my own yard.

OP, you are wrong. Plain and simple. You don't shit on someone else's lawn. Fecal matter still remains there. Stop being a bad neighbor and learn to be a responsible dog owner.

Ridiculous, if it's cleaned up wtf cares ? You are insane if you think your grass is Lysol clean. Who is walking all over their front yards constantly and why aren't you wearing shoes? You must absolutely lose it when a bird shits on your deck.

There is already fecal matter all over the yard--birds, squirrels, deer, fox, rodents, snakes, bugs, toads, etc. How would anyone know with all if the weed infested, gross messes that pass for lawns among dcum's non sprayers? Just breathe people and find some real injustice worthy of your ire.

There is a retired couple in our neighborhood that has a beautiful yard. The owners spend a lot of time taking care of it: planting flowers, pruning, even weeding the grass on their hands and knees. One day I witnessed some idiot dog owner with a dog on a long retractable leash. The dog was not walking up the sidewalks but instead was running intonpeople's yards, all the way up to the houses. Of course, the dog relieved itself right in those folks beautiful yard, right up near their front porch, then proceded to sniff the garden before the owner brought it back to the sidewalk to keep walking.

Seriously, what a jerk!

Dog owners can be so entitled. OP your dog should poop in your yard. He is your pet.

Team neighbor.

We had a nut do something similar with his dog, only he actually walked his dog into the middle of our yard to do its business. I was cooking dinner one night and caught a glimpse of him standing outside of one of our front windows. I think he was looking in. Almost dropped the frying pan it startled me so bad.

People like that have a screw loose. People who are simply walking their dog down a sidewalk and the dog suddenly stops and takes a dump on the wrong side of the sidewalk...totally different.

I'm definitely team dog. You picked up the poop, and poop doesn't cause brown spots. It's pee.

Your neighbor is crazy and an a-hole, but I do agree with others - just stay away.

Sure, if all the bugs and birds were walking down a five-foot strip of grass next to the sidewalk and pooping there multiple times a day, maybe you would have a point. Except bug poop is microscopic next to the steaming pile of watery stool that I just watched an Alsatian leave outside of my house. Thank goodness we have the grassy strip in our neighborhood, because there are dozens of dogs in our dog-friendly neighborhood. Would you want someone dumping their trash on your lawn every day, even if they said they tried to pick up every piece afterwards? Of course not, because you know they couldn't get it all, and it was a rude gesture that could be completely avoided if they were a considerate person and not a selfish jerk.

You have neighbors who actually walk on the sidewalk and pick up after their dogs. You do not know how good you have it. Good neighbors are golden.

Lucky me. My dog only poops on concrete. He doesn't like going on grass !
