I live in a pretty decent neighborhood and don’t want any trouble with the neighbors, but the problem is the next door neighbors have a completely fenced off yard yet they leave the gate open at night and their dog is allowed to roam free. It usually sneaks and takes a shit in the yard which I have dealt with all year, however now it has gone too far and shit right on top of some garlic that is almost ready for harvest. I work 3rd shift so I can stalk the yard and catch the bastard in the act if I need to. What would you guys recommend?

Talk to the neighbor about the dog shitting on your lawn.

This only works with civilized neighbors. It's a judgement call. The problem is that if you try talking first, and they're not civilized people, they'll know who's responsible for what comes next. People who aren't civilized tend to get angry and confrontational when they have to live by civilized people rules.

If the diplomatic approach fails, take their dogs shit and smear it on their front doorknob. Follow up with the handles to their car doors.

Talking usually only works when both parties care. The dog owner sounds like he doesn't give a shit.

[–] • 12 pts

His dog however... the dog gives many shits.

[–] • 1 pt

Then give him a shit. Literally.

[–] • 1 pt

Literally he does through his dog.

[–] • 1 pt

The dog gives a shit so the owner doesn't have to.

We have this problem in our area - to the point that the "domesticated pets" band together into packs and do great damage to pets and property. Laws are plain and known by pet owners, and we've found that talking with people who don't give a damn about their neighbors aren't going to see that they have a problem. If anything, expect random dog shit to be thrown into your yard after speaking with dog owning yahoos.

We now have a standard escalation of response: 1. Call animal control. Most areas have significant fines for allowing a dog to run loose - often compounded with other fines if the animal hasn't been properly maintained with vaccines.
2. Shoot repeat offending animal with pellet gun. It's not lethal, and they often learn to avoid the area after being hit once. 3. Shoot animal with subsonic rifle and take carcass to dump.

Dog owners who imagine that their beloved Fido won't opportunistically kill neighborhood cats and smaller leashed dogs are idiots who deserve losing their "pet". (A pet is cared for - allowing a dog to run loose is the opposite of care.)

Are you implying those who have dogs are yahoos?

[–] • 1 pt

Not implying. Any dog owner who allows their dog free run of other peoples property is a yahoo. Luckily they are a small minority.

My gpa always grabs for the shotgun when bears, raccoons and dogs fuck with his property. That’s not an option for me here, but taking to my neighbor takes any future action against the perp off the table due to suspicion.

I dunno be a petty ass bitch and sabatuer some bullshit. CUNO DONT CARE

What about talking to them from a position of ignorance? Tell them something has been messing up your garden, and that you plan to put out bait/poison/whatever. That you know their dog gets out at night sometimes, and that you wanted to give them the heads up to make sure their dog doesn’t accidentally get in it.

[–] • 1 pt

Hell yea, except they might use that as an admission if guilt and let it happen. Would maybe work so long as I don’t actually follow through with the poisoning.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt (edited )

I wouldn’t recommend following through with it. Trapping maybe, but not killing.

Trapping it is an easy way to get toy to go back to your neighbors and let them know they’ve fucked up. The whole, “we really lucked out that I just trapped it rather than accidentally killing your dog. But now that we know he’s been messing up my garden, what will you do to make sure it stops so that I don’t have to?”

[–] • 1 pt

I’ll look more into trapping then. Then tell them, ‘hey, look what I found!’

Ask the neighbors to keep their dog contained? And if they won't, call animal control, shoot the dog, or flush your coolant.

[–] • 7 pts

shoot the dog, or flush your coolant.

Fuck you.

[–] • 3 pts

Keep your dog from damaging other people's property and it'll be fine.

[–] • 7 pts

There are literally thousands of options that don't involve killing the dog. You're no better than the Chicom scum that torture and eat dogs. so I repeat:

FUCK YOU!

[–] • 2 pts

Bingo. However, talking to them about the dog would give them a heads up. I think if they’re stupid enough to let it roam free when it can be easily contained then anything goes.

[–] • 5 pts

Fucking with a dog because its doing dog things is a piece of shit thing to do.....and your a faggot for the implication. Talk to the neighbor like an adult human, instead of that current mongrel thinking.

[–] • 3 pts

I prefer the Viking way. Killing your dog and raping your wife, then cashing in your belongings.

[–] • 1 pt

Are they nice otherwise? And do they have a normal dog or is a nig-tier pitbull or some such?

[–] • 0 pt

They are decent enough honestly, but they make a lot of boise with their four wheelers in the evening and during the day when I sleep. I don’t know what breed it is honestly. It’s an asshole type of dog, though. A big black territorial dog that likes to bark incessantly. None of the neighbors control their dogs barking up here and everyone has one.

[–] • 3 pts

apply copious ammounts of ceyenne pepper in/on areas the brut is known to frequent and sniff. everytime he tresspasses, shoot with pellet gun. he will begin to understand. if all fails, decapitate and place head on neighbors porch. kidding about that last one.

[–] • 3 pts

keep leaving food out and befriend the dog, then make it not want to leave because you're better.

Jealousy is a disease and they will stop letting the dog out because of it.

[–] • 2 pts

Go drop a steaming shit right in front of the dog's house to assert dominance.

"Hey Neighbor. (Insert small talk about COVID and weather here)... That sounds awesome. Hey, just wanted to let you know there's some dog-sized wild animal that's been shitting on my lawn regularly and has now escalated to shitting on the food I grow. Now I have food I can't eat because something shit all over it just recently. Not to mention likely pissed all over everything too. Anyway, I called animal control and they won't do anything. So I'm putting raw steak out loaded with rat poison and a small warning sign next to it to notify dog owners not to let their dogs eat the steak. I know you have dogs that stay inside your fence line but I wanted to give you a heads up. In case you see any neighbors that let their dogs roam free."

Is neighbor intentionally leaving gate open so that the dog shits outside his yard? Can you tell your neighbor, verbal or written, that his dog is deficating on your crops?

[–] • 1 pt

"Hey man, I usually don't mind your dog being out at night, but he's started pooping in my garden. Would you mind closing your gate at night?"

Then put out a security camera to make sure he doesn't poison your food.

[–] • 1 pt

Hell yea, that sounds reasonable

[–] • 1 pt

Tell the neighbor, don't need to be upset (yet). Then put cyanne pepper around. It'll sniff it then regret it.

[–] • 1 pt

Talk to the neighbors. Put up your own fence. Get a motion sensor that turns on the sprinkler. low power pellet/bb gun (injuring it could cause the cops to get involved).

[–] • 0 pt

Getting a motion activated sprinkler is a great suggestion. I bought one, and it keeps the nuisance animals mostly out of my yard so that I can actually grow grass. As an added bonus, it really pisses off solicitors.
