When you see them in your yard shoot them with a blast of water from a water gun. I will scare them, a couple of times and they won't be back

When you see them coming in your yard, go to the window or door and yell SHOO! SHOO! GET OUT OF HERE! while clapping your hands. Do this every time you see them, and eventually they won't come in your yard anymore.

How do you keep small dogs from pooping on your lawn?

RE: Keeping Dogs Off Lawn

Goodness, the person who suggested electric fencing must be an animal hater! It's the owner's fault, not the dog's. Punish the owner if you must. It's quite natural for dogs (or any other animal) to try to mark out new territory; it's instinct. If the owner won't do the right thing the best thing to do is put up a fence but not an electric one. In Australia, by law, the neighbour has to pay half the dividing fence costs. Suggest to your neighbour that you are thinking of putting up a fence and the reason why. He may then keep an eye on his puppy in order to avoid the cost! Good luck. (10/19/2009)
