Neighbor dog comes at night to crap on my yard, a big german shepperd
I would go and talk to them, but they are a bunch of thugs, so talking is not an option

Any ideas?
I'm thinking about installing "animal ultrasonic repellent"

Do you know where they live? If so, take the poop and put it in front of their door. I'm sure they will eventually get the hint.

Pick up poop.
Place in appropriate container/place.
Get on with life.

Thugs can be fun to talk to. Bring a friend.

How do you know the poop is from your neighbor's dog, and not from a wild animal such as a coyote?

Sure, if you want to start a war.


I would go over and say something like "you are probably not aware, but we keep picking up your dogs poo in our yard. We see him come over every night ...." and see what the response it. Say it with a smile.


They are either not aware or they are aholes. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Depends on where you live a bit. Many urban areas have laws about loose dogs and cleaning up poop and if so, you could call Animal Control and they would talk to the owner or give a warning citation.

Ummm.....NO.

That's a great idea if you want to come out and find your car vandalized.

This, go and talk to them and see what their reaction is.

OP lives in Houston, there must be some laws on the books about cleaning up after your pet.
