[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a neighborhood full of dogs. They love to pee/poop in front of my house. A few years ago there was a-hole who let his dog poop in front of my door and would just leave it there. I have a Ring camera so I recorded it and put in on the local facebook group. I shamed the hell out of him and the pooping stopped. But the peeing has not. I have a sign asking people to not let their dogs pee in front of my house. My grass is dead from having 20 dogs pee in the same spot every day. My HOA requires me to keep the area looking nice and I have to pay to replace the sod. I asked AGAIN for people to please respect my property and have their dogs pee somewhere else. A couple of morons got very aggressive and said they would bring their dogs to my house specifically to piss me off.

I like dogs. I think they are wonderful. I absolutely can't stand most of the dog owners. [/quote]

You need a fence and some sort of dog deterrent. The problem is that now part of your property has become a marked pee area for dogs. Every dog coming by will want to add their own pee. That's how they communicate. [/quote]

I wish I could, but my HOA doesn't not allow me to put a fence in that area. I'm at the end unit townhome so it would be almost impossible anyway.[/quote]

PP you replied. I'm sorry. I have a dog whom I force to pee on the street side of the sidewalk, not front yards. But sometimes he really wants to pee on the marked community pee spot, and I can't catch him in time. Luckily we don't have an HOA, so owners aren't forced to have their yard look a certain way. I know someone who installed some sort of motion detector that makes a high-pitched keening sound. It's an animal repellent. It doesn't deter all animals, but it deters enough that their yard looks better (I think they primarily installed it for deer, not dogs). Alternatively, can you border your yard with large "decorative" rocks? That way, it doesn't matter too much if dogs pee on them? Another neighbor has really pretty rocks next to their sidewalk. I guess it's for that purpose. There are some plants that are prickly or give off a strong scent that dogs tend to stay away from (lavender, marigold, and others).
