ANDREW O asked:
I have a neighbor next door whose dog is always urinating in my lawn and on my trees and bushes. I am new to the neighborhood and do not want to have conflict, only living here such a short time. If anyone knows a way to prevent this please let me know. Someone told me to put human or my own urine around my sidewalk and driveway. He told me that the smell is overpowering and will keep other dogs away. Is this true?

amerizim asked:
There are several owners who walk their dogs through our neighborhood. Is there anything we can put on the lawn to prevent them from soiling our yard? Someone once told me cayenne pepper. Does that work? I don’t want to hurt the dogs. I just hate mowing over dog dirt.

Lighthearted asked:
I have a hard with beautiful grass due to how hard I have worked to improve it. But my neighbors let their dogs go to the bathroom on my yard. I have no problem picking up all the poop but dog urine kills my grass in numberous places. Of course I never see the dogs in my yard. What is a good way to stop the dogs from going on my grass beyond putting up a fence or signs. Is there any chemical I can put on the grass? I could hid mousetraps here or there. Any other ideas?

Kyral asked: Ive got a piece of lawn about 8′ x 8′, I cant fence it off and every dog in the neighbourhood must crap on it! I need to find a legal way to stop this or I am in danger of assaulting the owner……should I ever catch the offender.
Is there anything I can put down on the grass to repel dogs?
Just to add, there already is a sign which threatens legal action but obviuosly dogs cant read and their owners must just be plain idiots. Kids play on the grass…….when there is no sh*t.

dollypartonfan asked:
These puppies are driving me crazy. They have destroyed most of the plants outside my door. I tried putting them in a fenced area, but they just dig out and get right back in the flower bed. What can I put in the flower bed to make them stay away from it? I did have a plant that keeps them away, but I can’t find those anymore.

I forgot to mention I tried borders and fencing but they squeeze through it.

Pink Denial asked:
We planted grass seed and fertilizer 2 days ago. Accordingly we’re walking our dogs now instead of letting them out in to the yard. My concern is more for the safety of my dogs and the amount of fertilizer in the dirt. How long before it is safe to let the dogs back into the yard?
