Outside of doing any thing drastic, like shooting the dog, anyone have any

Good idea. Some nuts to put inside it might be nice. A spine would also
complement the scrotum and nuts as well.

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-)

You are way off base with your reasoning. It's not for lack of courage that
I'm not bringing this up to my neighbor. There are other personal issues I

This is one of the most worn out topics I've seen in this group. And it
always comes down to somebody who can't or won't (for whatever reason)
talk to the human being that lives next door to them. Surely google
groups has tons of archived posts on this.

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

Yeah, god forbid you talk to the neighbor about the situation. Wouldn't
want to do something that drastic, huh?

Try a couple of pounds of hot chili power and sprinkle liberally
around the perimeter. You can get it in pound size from SAMS and maybe
cheaper from a restaurant supply house. It works on a smaller scale to
keep my dogs and cats out of areas I don't want them to go into.

Do you think this would work to encourage a rabbit to relocate from my
city backyard? I've already started urinating around the perimeter of
my detached garage, where I think it hides out, but I'd like to get
the creature to leave asap so my dog stops eating its poop pellets.

The key is to find their do and throw it into the
middle of the street. It confuses the dogs! Some
people don't like to do this but it is the best
solution and might even have the secondary effect
of shamming the neighbor into controlling the dog.

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,

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.

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.

That's what I do. Nothing wrong with sharin' the wealth.

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").

Incidentally, was your mother over dominating, and your father always did
what he was told?

Best solution is to soak some sponges in bacon grease and feed them to the
dog.

Putting some antifreeze in the dog's water will also help.

If the neighbors with the dog are Martians who would immediately snatch him and
use his blood should he come to their door for a conversation, then the next
best option is to go ahead and put up that fence.

True, true.

But that's one thing that's determined by a converstaion - no?

And, if that's the case, then one goes to other options: law enforcement if
feasible (is there a leash law?), putting in that fence.

Its just a ****ing dog. Not like it is a human or anything important.

If the dog can't crap where it is supposed to, take it out.
