I keep my Shih Tzu on a leash when I walk him to do his "business" and then clean it up. We have new neighbors that have Pit Bulls and they (at least the male anyway) keeps coming over to poop in our yard, mostly next to our ramp. I have already talked to the neighbors and they were apologetic and said they would come over and clean it up, but I have still had to clean it up and nothing different has been done. I don't really want to have to call in the "big guns" (police or animal control, who does nothing) and we can't afford to put up a fence. Help!
I've tried throwing the poop back at the dog owners door, I've called the homeowners association, I've even called animal control. Now I'm gonna go ahead and put the mothballs and aspirin out. Dog owners should have to keep those mutts in their yard! I don't care about animal rights. I only care about my house and my yard! If they cared about the dog, they would take care of it and its poop!
How do I keep the local dogs from relieving themselves on my property? I have tried black pepper, moth balls, Lysol, Pine Sol, and some of those sprays specifically designed to keep dogs away. What is a person to do, summer is just around the corner?
I have been using wolf urine for keeping dogs and cats off my property. It must be dribbled on all four corners of your yard and your pets must be inside when you do this.
Animals will not cross this area and so far it seems to be doing a great job. It's pricey and a little difficult to find but one bottle will last for years. If it rains, it must be reapplied but it only takes a few drops here and there. I got mine at a hunting supply store and found out that most landscapers are using it on saplings in this area to keep the deer away. Good Luck.

There is a white dog in my neighborhood. We have done everything to keep it out of the yard. What can I do, I do not want to send it to the pound.

Do you know who the owners are? If not, find out who they are. Is there a leash law in your area? Nicely notifiy the owners that you will notify the proper authorities if they don't keep the dog restrained and that you will take the dog to the pound if you have to.
With that being said, if they don't keep their dog restrained please do what Lizzyanny suggests and take the little fella to a no kill shelter.
My nasty neighbor lets his big dog do business in my yard. Is there anything that can be used to repel dog? I can't talk to idiot owner.

I understand that you can use potatoes as dog repellent. I need to know what part of the potato to use and how much.
