My new neighbors dogs are pooping all over his backyard and he doesn't clean it ip

[Faithmileo]

My new backyard neighbor has two dogs. He installed an electric fence and leaves his lanai door open. The dogs bark all the time and he never cleans up after them. Some of the stuff is so old it's turning white. I called Community Standards but as of now our neighborhood is still under the developers jurisdiction. We have made several complaints as have my neighbors but nothing has changed. What can we do to stop this problem. It is so bad I don't want to sit on my lanai and in the warm weather it smells. Do I have to move to get away from this? It seems there must be some recourse. Any one have any suggestions on what I should do next?

[GPGuar]

I would call the health department in the area, look in the phone book under govt. offices. I would think that there's some agency that can bring some pressure on your poopy neighbor.

[TVMayor]

Your screwed. :ohdear:

Sounds horrible. Have you and your neighbors engaged with your new neighbor as of yet?

[jimbo2012]

Community Standards, isn't giving you the correct response, being under the developer has nothing to do with the enforcement of of rules and guidelines.

Of course talking directly may solve it. :doggie:

[redwitch]

You could always pick it up, nicely give it to your neighbor and explain you noticed it was beginning to smell, so decided to gather it all up for him for disposal. Or, there's always the old standby, gather it into a paper bag, put it by front door, set it on fire, ring doorbell and run like heck.

[gerryann]

I know it can be hard for some folks to do, but talk to them. Tell them that your not usually a complainer but...........
After you speak with them and if nothing is done about the problem, either live with it or move.
I've always wondered why folks here move a lot. ( I know a few that have moved 3 times). I think it's to get away from troublesome neighbors.
I managed RV parks for many years. So many times people had to be moved because of dog barking, dog pooping, cigar smoker ( not the dog), too noisy, fighting, etc,etc. (of course moving an RV is a whole lot easier than moving from a house).......but, it's all the same.
Our homes here in TV are so close that it can be a real pain to deal with an issue that a neighbor is creating.

Just don't get it on your shoes and slip and fall when you light it off !:MOJE_whot:

[Jim 9922]

If you live south of Hy 466, wait until they poop in the front yard, then call the troll patrol and complain about the presence of unapproved, out of compliance "yard ornaments".

Really, it is too bad you have to put up with a neighbor of such discusting habits.

What kind of dogs are they?

[tomwed]

What kind of dogs are they?
The regular kind.
[walter---thanks for the lob]

[shcisamax]

While I empathize with your predicament for obvious reasons, I really have to chuckle. There have been endless posters on this forum who complain that dogs are going on other people's lawns and they should only have their dogs go on their own property. Here we now have someone with their dogs going on their own lawn, and it still is a problem. I have no idea why they don't pick it up; it is pretty gross for sure but it IS their lawn.

[PammyJ]

Let me get this straight. The dogs are pooping on your neighbors property who owns the dogs. You are complaining? Are you a dig owner? Man, we can't win. You teach them to poop in their own yard and people are still complaining? Stop already, it doesn't bother some folks if the dogs poop in thier own yard.

I don't think the OP was complaining about the dogs crapping in her neighbor's yard. I think they clearly stated that their complaint was that the neighbor never picked up the turds and the smell was strong and offensive.

[dbussone]

Thanks for clearing that up.


Did he?

[Sandtrap328]

The barking may be an issue but the dogs pooping in their own yard is NOT your problem. It is not your yard. Go into their yard and you are trespassing.

Is it really so bad that you want to move? If so, move!

No problem Tom. What are friends for!

Personally I thought I had a pretty good post with my dog's pic. What say you?

[dbussone]

Perhaps not, mademoiselle.


Say what? My dog and I are both of the cajone variety.

Careful.....your next door neighbor might have you arrested if you let your dog up on your chair!

I liked your joke though.:)

[tomwed]

Oh the pic was good. How about we wait until tomorrow for me to sort this out?

[dbussone]

:big bow: thank you. I've been enjoying yours as you can tell.
Too many grump buckets on this thread.

You have until Noon. :jester:

It seems like you have a better case with the barking. Be relentless.

I hope he's light., for your sake.

[kittygilchrist]

People, can we react less extremely?
The OP has a problem that affects daily life. The neighbor may think their fence solved all their dog problems.
Suggest to OP:
You can complain on here, but why not talk to the neighbor and find out if they are unaware or if they just do not care?

I agree totally with you. It is going to take an awful lot of dogs**t to create a smell. Our neighbors in KC has 4 large dogs on the north side of us and our wind is predominantly from the north. He cleans his yard about once a month and I never smell his dogs droppings.

OP, sell your house. Market prices are up and I don't see this ending happily. Dog lovers :doggie: living next to dog haters never work out. :ohdear:

[mtdjed]

Wow! With all the worlds problems. Do you know your neighbors? Do you talk to them? Anything in common? Do you play cards with them? Reach out. Make friends. I doubt that there are many people in the Villages who truly want to PO their neighbors.

It should not get down to considering moving unless their is more than dog poop.

GRUMP BUCKETS!!!!...Dbussone, you have found a charming but perfectly accurate expression. If not in the dictionary, it should be. I believe it will be used often on TOTV.

[PR1234]

I don't think people understand, it is not only the smell, but it also attracts rodents! Same with all that dead fruit under your fruit trees. PICK IT UP PEOPLE!!!!

[Sandtrap328]

Dog poop attracts rodents? No, they are attracted by food and they do not eat that stuff.

Flies, yes but not rodents.

[Bogie Shooter]

I don't think people understand, it is not only the smell, but it also attracts rodents! Same with all that dead fruit under your fruit trees. PICK IT UP PEOPLE!!!!

Picking up dead fruit should be a separate thread. OMG!

[redwitch]

I don't think people understand, it is not only the smell, but it also attracts rodents! Same with all that dead fruit under your fruit trees. PICK IT UP PEOPLE!!!!

Sadly, I think we do understand and most of us truly sympathize. Just because we make jokes doesn't mean we're not feeling bad for you. We are. No one should have to smell tschit when sitting on their lanai.

The reality is I don't think there is much you can legally do other than ask them to pick it up more often because of the smell. It is their yard. I'm guessing they do their own lawn since most lawn services insist poop be picked up.

[Bobcuse]

Perhaps you should speak with the dog(s) directly. See link for how to approach the situation.

Arrest warrant , what a load of dog crap

It is just POOPourri

[outlaw]

The kissing lanais was one of my biggest considerations in determining where in the villages to buy. I love dogs. Been a dog owner for my whole life. Dog owners who continually let their dogs bark and who let their dogs crap all over the yard without cleaning it up are inconsiderate and make for lousy neighbors. Most likely, the county animal control department can issue a citation for constant barking (nuisance ordinance). Maybe this can also apply to crap. The OP could always spread cow manure as fertilizer all along his property as close to the dog owner's lanai as possible; best to do this during August when it is nice and warm. There is nothing that puts out a stronger aroma than cow manure on a hot sunny day.

It most certainly does!!

DoodyCallsDirect (http://www.doodycallsdirect.com/Waste-Harms-Communities.html)

Dog Poop Attracts Rats
Put plainly, rats and other rodents are attracted to dog poop because they like to eat it. In fact, dog poop is said to be the number one food source for rats in developed areas. If your community has a rat problem you may want to investigate whether that problem is being fueled by a pet waste problem. Rat populations thrive, reproducing often wherever there is a readily available food source. Make sure your community is not becoming a rat breeding ground by keeping pet waste off the ground and in a closed container – preferably one with a lid. Our gladiator station is great at keeping vermin out!
Dog poop is toxic to the environment!

[Mr.Big]

I knew The Villages was a great place when someone would complain that Kilwins is out of hot fudge, or someone's dog is pooping in their own yard!

[JB in TV]

This thread now has more than 50 replies, many of which don't really address the OP's question. The OP hasn't come back to comment again. In fact this is the OP's first and only post on TOTV. I suggest the thread be closed.

[tomwed]

I agree with the others who suggest that the noise problem is the one that can be the deal maker. Pick up a sound activated recorder and let it run for a day.
