[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not advocating poisoning anyone's dog. I used to work at a vet's office, and it was not uncommon for dogs to come in with poisoning and the owner would say they were worried about a neighbor who really hated their dog. It happens, so I don't understand why all you dog lovers would advocate that OP go to war with her neighbor over the dog's right to poop on other people's yards. It makes all the rest of us conscientious dog owners look terrible.

I think most of us dog lovers aren't advocating going to war. I think most of us - at least in my experience - would prefer not to have a confrontation.

And I also think your story proves why poisoning is not only horrific and illegal, but not effective. Because the dogs don't know that a criminal neighbor trying to kill them means they shouldn't poop on that yard. And the owners can't be sure what's going on.

So just put up a fence. Or a sign. Or a sprinkler. Something that might actually have the effect everyone wants without the police getting involved.[/quote]

I don't think dog poop on my lawn is a big deal at all, but expecting a property owner to shell out to put up sprinklers or a fence or whatever else because dog owners think they have the right to let their dog take a crap on her lawn is ridiculous.  How about this instead:  instead of acting like a lunatic, neighbor calmly asks OP not to let the dog on her lawn.  Then get this:  OP doesn't let the dog on her lawn.

PROBLEM SOLVED WITHOUT POISON.  I'll take on the Middle East next.[/quote]
