June 30, 201511 yr Author What kind of dog is it? Some kind of terrier mix...around 70-80lbs Very thick and muscular dog.
June 30, 201511 yr I had a similar issue several years ago. In my case, my neighbors dog attacked and seriously injured another child that was playing in my yard with my son. Fortunately, I was able to beat the dog off the child with a broom stick (it was the only thing I could grab). Despite calling animal control, since the animals shots were up to date, and hadn't had any other violent incidents, it was never even temporarily removed from the house. Animal control did require the dog to be on a leash and muzzled, but that did very little to make me feel safe. Even a near tragic event wasn't enough to really cause the county or authorities to get involved. I really believe that had I not been there at the time, the dog would have likely killed that day.
June 30, 201511 yr If the neighbor is in your yard file trespassing charges. if it was just the dog I would make sure and tell them next time the dog is in your yard you are going to shoot it. I love dogs and would never hurt one I didn't have to but sounds like the dog is dangerous.
June 30, 201511 yr Check and see if there are any nuisance/dangerous animal ordinances in your locality. If you say it's attacked other animals or people then you may have a case for that.
June 30, 201511 yr Tell your neighbor you're going to litter your yard with little sausages stuffed with laxatives. I like that idea! Make sure you've thought this strategy through. Isn't the problem the dog crapping in your yard? Or are you hoping the dog never makes it out of the owner's yard to yours? Could backfire on you.

Could backfire on you. Well he stays in the house most of the time, so some doggy diarrhea could be a mess for them. But I could also see this backfiring and me getting charged with cruelty to animals for "poisoning" him.

But I could also see this backfiring and me getting charged with cruelty to animals for "poisoning" him. My next question was going to be how much time this dog spends in the house. Seems like a cruelty to animals charge would be hard to stick unless you overdid it and killed the poor beast of dehydration.

I was just trying to get my fescue to come in a little better." :lol2: If it's a matter of disrespectful owners who won't listen, I'd probably resort to a shovel and start catapulting into their yard. If the dog is a menace that's a whole other thing.
June 30, 201511 yr Since you've tried everything the responsible way, I'd start moving down from there. I bet if everytime the dog did his business in your yard, you shovel it up and pile it right in front of their front door it will eventually stop. It may take a few days of diligence on your part but since the obvious reason that your neighbor is having him do his business in your yard is so they don't have to pick it up, I bet a few days of picking it up will correct the issue. I had a similar problem with a neighbor of mine that let his dog run loose. It was a nice 100lb chocolate lab that was friendly as could be. He did however like to leave 2lb land mines in my yard two or three times a day. I talked to the neighbors, they apologized but eventually it continued to happen. I started going out with a shovel, scooping it and flinging it into their yard, porch, etc. They got the hint and now have an invisible fence.

Heck, if I had witnessed the neighbor dog with said owner watching it crap in my yard three times I'd be dropping a deuce on his front porch! 2HC is more diplomatic than I...
