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

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?

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.

Your screwed. :ohdear:

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

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:

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.

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:

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.

Love how you think Redwitch :1rotfl:

What kind of dogs are they?

The regular kind.
[walter---thanks for the lob]

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.

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.

Thanks for clearing that up.

1. Notify in person of his/her violation.. Make a written note of when this was made
Attempt to have a witness present

2. If no results... attempt again verbal... then send a registered letter of the
violation and your future actions that will be taken


3. After 15 days.. if no results... obtain an arrest warrant for destruction of property and or trespassing... however on the trespass notify this also verbal and in the
certified letter (signed receipt)

4. A court date will be set when the warrant is served.


Lets us know the results for future residents and their violations of this type

Did he?

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!

Wow. Could my dog popping in my yard behind his own invisible fence end up getting the chair?Attachment 46216

Ridiculous is the only word for this response!

No problem Tom. What are friends for!

Perhaps not, mademoiselle.

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

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.:)

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

: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.

[gulp]
and my horse says
[gulp]
he's got my back

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

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?

Kitty - you are correct

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:

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?!?!? :1rotfl::1rotfl:

Ditto
 

ditto:mademyday:

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.

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!!!!
