You said you told them to keep the dog in their yard but did you ask about the poop being left behind? If you already opened up lines of communication then maybe offer to buy the first box of poop bags when you deliver the first bag of poop to them. If that fails bag up the poop and throw it on their door step as your explanation would be you do not want to stink up your trash can and garage (assuming that is where you keep the can?). Sad in this day that something as simple as a neighbor not listening to reasoning can start a neighbor war.

Next time you witness it, grab a plastic bag. Use it to scoop the poop up, and leave the opened bag on their front door step. Do it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

If they complain, and the dog continues to poop on your lawn, then just scoop the poop up with a shovel and fling it onto their lawn.

And if you were a bit of a mischief, you can “add” a little to their dog poo while you’re doing it…oh, oh, did I just say that?

Yeah, that is what I would do, but I would not throw it on their lawn. I would throw it on their driveway or on their outside patio.

They have the whole front of their house and they could take the dog out to the front of their house but they don't. It is not just the dog who is in my yard they come in my yard as well when they let the dog out. BTW their property is not in deed compliance but I have never filed a complaint because I have always gotten along well with my neighbors but my patience is wearing thin. Any thoughts?

Good luck with the problem, if I ever find out who owns the racoon that decorates my backyard in the middle of the night we are going to have a serious talk

Pelicans and Sandhill Cranes leaving presents all over your birdcage will make dog poop insignificant ;-)

The motion activated sprinklers work well.

You were nice and tried to solve the problem but they are ignoring you. Time for the gloves to come off. Call community standards about the violations and call whichever local police department services your area and file a trespassing complaint about the dogs (& them) on your property. Don't be a pushover.

I had the same problem up North. Tell your neighbors that you put pesticides on the lawn
And put signs up. Do not really put pesticides there. If they love their dog they will keep him away

I had a pump sprayer filled with water that I would use when they came by with dog. I think that they got the hint

[TeresaE]

If that was my new neighbor I would “catch them in the act” and offer them a bag to pick up the poop. I would hand it to them with a Big smile on my face and say “Hi! Here you go!” The motion sensor sprinklers are also a good idea. Good luck .

Dig off leash? Contact animal control if the neighbor persists

[TOMCAT]

I think that is so inconsiderate of the dog owner. I had three dogs and would never let my dog do that. I know my husband would be having a fit, and there would be a feud with our neighbor. I'm not eager to fight with anyone, but you should have another talk with your neighbor. If it does not work, the sprinklers are a good idea.

I walk my dog, and he gets curbed. I pick up all his poop and try to keep him off other people’s property.

A family of cranes were walking across the patio, stopped , made a deposit, I walk up to screen in the lani "Hey somebody has to clean that up" they stop and give me the "get a life pal" look , dismiss my presence and continue their walk, sprinkler a good idea
