I think some folks object to their digging in flower beds.
I don’t get it.
Same here.
Wait, does this really work?
Details please.
Our county imposes a $250 fine for failing to pick up after your dog. This fine has not been imposed since 1999. You would literally need to catch them on camera or do a DNA test on the poop.
I think the OP should go poop in their yard. That’ll learn 'em!
All I can say is that my customer told me the dogs quit coming around after I did that.
Perhaps their owners quit bringing them around. 
Took my a few seconds. Look at the shape a lower case y makes.
If I actually owned a dog, and it pooped in someone else’s yard on an occasion when I did not have a bag, I’d ring the homeowner’s doorbell, apologize, and ask for a bag. Just walking away and leaving a pile of dogshit because “I don’t have a bag” is a lame-ass way of handing your problem to someone else instead of owning it.
So… you… rubbed your own nose in the dog shit in the corner of your room?
The problem with the OP is that promiscuously pooping dogs generally don’t read Pit threads.
They’re usually thread-shitting over in Cafe Society.
Maybe. My customer could have raised hell with them.
I once had an incredibly rude older man that lived in our neighborhood who walked his dog about our neighborhood. We had a mobile home with a fenced yard about the home itself and a small (15’ x 15’) piece of lawn open to the street and next to our gravel drive. Near the fence, I had a 3’ circle of flowers bordered by pavers.
One day, I hear our two terriers in the yard barking non-stop. I go out to see what’s setting them off. This neighbor is standing in the street in front of our house, but he has let out his dogs’ retractable leash all the way, allowing the dog to sit (and shit) in my mini-flowerbed. My dogs are next to him on the other side of the fence, barking away. The neighbor’s dog, upon finishing his pooping, does a shuffle like a cat in a sandbox, tearing up my flowers.
I yell at him to get his damn dog out of my flower bed. He looks at me with bare recognition, then says, “You have bad dogs! Bad dogs!” then totters off with his little dog in tow.
Asshole!
The solution is the big, giant foodservice-size containers of ground cayenne pepper that can be bought cheap at Costco or wherever. Dump it liberally around the perimeter of the yard or in the particular problem pooping place. This works best in a dry environment; sprinklers and rain will wash it away quickly. As a bonus, it also deters squirrels.
That ought to work.
My paint ball gun concept would probably lead to arrest.
Interesting, can you tell me more?
A neighbourhood dog seems to have staked out my front yard as suitable for his business. I’d like it to stop, but I have no idea which neighbourhood dog is doing it, nor its owner. So this could be a good solution. Will the cayenne pepper harm the grass, or inhibit its growth? Or start growing itself?
Just dust it on the perimeter of your lawn or in a preferred spot, that’s all there is to it. Use enough to see but not a huge pile. It won’t work if the dog is in such a hurry that he doesn’t sniff the ground, nor will it work if it blows or washes away before the dog gets there.
It’s an insignificant amount of organic matter dumped on the lawn. In that way it is no different than grass clippings or fallen leaves. It certainly won’t start growing, because it is ground up cayenne peppers; there are no intact seeds to germinate.
Because it can be tasted by mammals, but not birds, it can also be mixed into bird feederso deter squirrels, although I’ve not tried that myself.
Do you have a fence with a gate? Close the gate, dog does not crap on your lawn, problem solved.
I got the same sort of annoyance factor going for people who let their dogs run around attacking my animals, fence your yard in and I won’t shoot fluffy for attacking my sheep, problem solved.
It looks like… a lower-case y. I am still not getting it. Instead of being coy, how about you provide the answer?
