Neighbors dog keeps coming over and defecating on our driveway.

Maybe your dog is eating it.....

That could be. One of our dogs would follow cats and cows. It's kinda gross to watch.

I heard they are after the salt. In my opinion, all that does is cause bad breath.

Buy an elephant and take it for walks in your neighbor‘s driveway.

Better yet, buy an elephant and have it sit on your neighbor's car hood.

Hello all, we have a continuing problem with a neighbor two doors over letting their dogs run free, who have not been neutered. They come over and they defecate on our driveway on a regular basis. We’ve talked to them about it, and every time we see it, we tell him to come over and pick it up, which they do. However, one of these days, I’m going to step in it, and the local Bylaw says the dogs are not allowed to run free off their property.

Any ideas? We have spoken to the bylaw officer, and we will be sending an email saying, that the by law prohibits this type of activity, and that “we don’t want to have to pursue legal action”

Spray the driveway with white vinegar. I think walmarts sells it for something $3.30 a gallon.

Or locate and use one of these products.

Glad my Aussie isn't a licker, never has been and don't want a 'kiss' either. He cleans his own private area regularly, bad enough.

If your area has laws against roaming dogs, I assume there are penalties? Why not just tell your neighbors that while you appreciate that they come and clean up after their dogs, you are tired of having to ask and tired of dealing with it. Tell them that you might be willing to overlook the occasional "escape artist" if you see that they are making a serious effort at resolving the problem, not just cleaning up after it. If they won't take appropriate measures (install an an actual or an invisible fence or otherwise restrain their dogs), you will be reporting them for action by whatever authorities deal with this.

In our area the owner of a dog roaming at large gets a warning for the first offense. The next offense involves a fine and the fines escalate. The final remedy of not corrected is impounding the dog. It doesn't often escalate to the fine stage. Most of those with wandering dogs have taken steps to contain them (invisible fences being the most popular: inexpensive and easy to set up.) In our rural town, people tend to know who the owners are and just let them know: "Hey, I saw your dog down by the Smith farm."

Mind as well put up a sign saying "please stop your dog crapping on my driveway" as that will be just as effective. People who don't control their animals don't give a rats a$$ about rules, laws, or anyone else and will say FU mind your own business.

I have several neighbors who are lovey dovey with their dogs yet are happy to let their dogs roam freely. One dog in particular loves eating regular meals at our manure pile.

Unfortunately many of these dogs end up getting hit on the road by speeders and farm equipment. Then the owners buy another dog and let it run free. Go figure.

Just another reason I'm thankful I live in the country. If I were you, I'd shoot the cur, but then we don't have that issue out here. One no concrete driveway, it's gravel and two, loose dogs don't last long out here, they get eliminated.

I see you are in Canada, forget the shoot part.

I see posts like this and all I have to say is why harm a poor animal. man up and go to the owners house and have a "talk" with him.
That's how I handle things.
