Keeping dogs out of the yard
Most everyone in the neighborhood has a fenced in yard. So, that means any
stray dogs or more likely the dog next door find our yard a convenient place to do his business from time to time. I've thought of putting up a fence or even talking to the neighbor about his dog. Neither idea appeals to me. Outside of doing any thing drastic, like shooting the dog, anyone have any ideas how to keep the dog(s) out without putting up a barrier. |

I've seen ads for a ultrasonic pest repeller that claimed to have a setting for dogs/cats.Maybe Google would turn up something. It might make every dog in the neighborhood howl,though. Then there's motion detectors connected to your lawn sprinker system;every time an animal moves intot he forbidden zone,the sprinklers come on,soaking the animal.That one might be a lot of fun,especially if the owner is also in the zone. 8-) -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

There are other personal issues I don't wish to discuss in this Usenet format. |

Greetings Charlie,
I have learned from being a landlord that many people with seemingly no balls or spine of any sort have a great capacity hidden within to become a victim through their own actions or inactions. Amazingly, the entire world always seems to come to their aid to combat the great evil causing them harm. If you were a certain class of tenant trying to solve this problem you would get a little pussy cat. You would want her to learn to be an outside cat but you wouldn't want her to run away so you would put her on a leash and leave her out there while you go inside and call the rental company. Tada! Before you know it you are the victim, your neighbor (who had no clue the dog is causing you a problem) is a scumbag, you never had to be honest with him about your feelings, and you still get to bang his wife. The world will reward you 100 times over the cost someone else paid for the kitty cat you "found abandoned and rescued". If you want the world to think you are entitled to greater rewards and millions of dollars you'll have to feed your child paint chips. If this idea bothers you you might instead develop a "disease" which causes you to smoke large amounts of crack cocaine while you are pregnant and then sue the doctor who apparently botched the premature delivery as your child's borderline-retardation IQ corroborates. Hope this helps, William |

Greetings,
We still want to know what you decided after doing your Google search and how it worked out for you. We especially want to know if after all of this you decided to think about it further for days on end until all the thought starts to look like doing nothing. Hope this helps, William |

Based on my experience with a half dozen rabbits over the past month, absolutely nothing dissuades them. However, my neighbor's beagle has routed a few of them and brought home a couple of results with their little heads sort of dangling. |

Outside of doing any thing drastic, like shooting the dog, anyone have any ideas how to keep the dog(s) out without putting up a barrier. There seems to be some things going on here that I don't know about, but here goes anyway. If you know who's dog it is tell the owner to keep it out of your yard. Tell them to come and clean up after it or you will call Animal Control. Don't do anything to harm the dog. It's not his fault. After all, you can't blame him for not wanting to crap all over his own yard if he has a choice. I had a problem with cats pooping on my lawn (no, I don't know who's cats they were). I got one of those motion detector spotlights and positioned it over the grass. I ran wires from one of the bulb sockets to a relay. The relay activated my automatic sprinklers. I had the motion detector light set to stay on for 5 minutes. No more cat poop on my lawn. !00% effective and I only spent about $15. |

I'm not sure a good description is avail on the web, but Dr. Eric Berne
described this as the game "Why don't you; yes but" which is abbrev. YDYB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_analysis He therefrom developed a typology of common counterproductive social interactions, identifying these as "games". The first such game theorized was Why don't you/Yes, but in which one player (White) would pose a problem as if seeking help, and the other player(s) (Black) would offer solutions. White would point out a flaw in every Black player's solution (the "Yes, but" response), until they all gave up in frustration. The secondary gain for White was that he could claim to have justified his problem as insoluble and thus avoid the hard work of internal change; and for Black, to either feel the frustrated martyr ("I was only trying to help") or a superior being, disrespected ("the patient was uncooperative").
