You have 41 acres and are worked up about a little dog poop? I mean, sure. Die on that hill.

I had this same thought. We live on a golf course in a non-rural area and we get all sorts of poop. Deer, skunk, fox and who knows what else. For a property that isn't lived in full-time and kids aren't out playing in the fields after school, I would let it go. Though if it will make you feel better, make the cameras visible and put up clean up after your dog signs.

Agreed. I guess I'd ask them to pick it up but this is the country. Shit happens, literally. On 41 acres I am skeptical you'd even notice an occasional dog poop if you didn't know it was happening by looking at your cameras.

What an asinine post. As long as the poo goes unnoticed most of the time it's OK to treat your neighbor's land as a toilet? Who are you people that think you can do whatever you want with other people's things?

Personally I'd have an extremely blunt, face-to-face, talk with them along the lines of:

"Tom, look, Ijust texted you 27 videos of Sadie shitting on my vegetable garden, back patio, driveway, garage sidedoor, etc and frankly, I'm sick of it. The last 4 times we've been here we've tracked dogshit into the house and had to clean up after your dog. If you don't put a stop to this now, you're really not going to like how this ends."

If the dog shit on the property again, all shit gets collected and smeared all over their house. Any instances after would put the dog's life in jeopardy

I know that you feel all tough and powerful but in the end they live there full time and have local connections. You start messing with people and they will screw with you back and they may be willing to escalate far beyond reason. You don't want some crazy locals vandalizing your house and who knows what else. You cant win. You must convince them through reason or else you have no hope.

I know you think that was a zinger of a post, but learn to read, mouthbreather.

OP's wife's family goes back to at least before the second world war. The retirees are from DC and most likely, a, have only been there a decade at most, and, b, are considered 'come heres', not 'from heres'. Locals don't like rich come heres cosplaying as country folk. Bet on that.

OP here.

No. It's 41 acres. We aren't spending 100k to put up a fence to keep out trespassers. I'll shoot their dog first. And no, they do not clean up after their dog.

I’m sure you’re just being over the top but threatening their dog makes you sound unstable. They 100% should not be letting it roam but it’s an owner issue not reason to kill the dog.

Will you also be killing the deer, fox, rabbits, and every other animal that use the bathroom on your 41 acres?

Maybe a simple conversation with them about the dog would resolve the issue.

Do you understand the difference between wild animals and domesticated pets?

Very much so. Also enough to know that this is a problem with the dog’s owner and not something a decent person would kill a dog over. The owners should keep their dog off of OP’s property, without a doubt.

Also, poop is poop. Truly can’t imagine the actual dog poop is more of a problem than the poop of wild animals on a 41 acre piece of property OP uses occasionally.

The owners are definitely wrong but threatening someone’s pet is a sign of being unstable.

Sure, but anyone who cares about a dog wandering and pooping on their 41 rural acres is definitely not "country folk."

Completely false. Domesticated dog poo is full of all sorts of dangerous pathogens, bacteria, and pathogens not found in the feces of wild animals. This is especially true in an agricultural environment.

I'm not going to waste my time explaining how, but educate yourself so you dont look so foolish the next time you make demonstrably false statements.

This is true. The "country folk" I know don't even really pick after their dogs. Maybe if it were right by the house or where someone might step, but out in the woods or off the beaten track? Toss some leaves over it and let the other animals take care of it.

You just keep proving your ignorance over and over. Domesticated dog shit is basically poison. Farmers actually dispose of it separatley. Horses too.

LOL. So you have dogs, supposedly, and have rural friends, supposedly, and you've never learned about the bacteria and parasites that domesticated dog feces introduces into an agricultural environment?

You are your 'friends' are true geniuses . Indeed.

Very much so. Also enough to know that this is a problem with the dog’s owner and not something a decent person would kill a dog over. The owners should keep their dog off of OP’s property, without a doubt.

I'm not going to waste my time explaining how, but educate yourself so you dont look so foolish the next time you make demonstrably false statements.

Why would any of that be relevant to OP? They don't have an agricultural property, they're hardly there enough to have a vegetable garden.

Are you sure with the property line?
If you are just text them saying to clean it up.
For most people that is enough.

How do you know it's not agricultural and that they don't grow food? Agriculture is the number one land classification in that county. They could grow low effort cover crops that require zero effort or high risk/high reward rain fed agricultural products. They could grow tomatoes on a drip system. And on and on. You know you don't have to be standing in a field every day to be a successful farmer, right? OP said they were there a lot more during the growing season. I think you just like to argue a lot but happen to be terrible at it.
