Yesterday morning when I open my house gate and just step out of the house, I saw a dog poop just in front of me, what an unlucky day. So, I have to clean it up. Later in the afternoon, when I wanted to go out to do errant, there was another piece of dog poop right in front of my house gate. I really do not know which dog have done this and who is the owner of it, so I have to clean it one more time. This morning, when I wanted to go to work, I open my house gate, Oh my God! There was another piece of dog poop. So, that was my 3rd time cleaning the dog poop in a day. What will you do if you encounter this kind of problem? Will you look for the dog or the owner to settle the problem, or you will just clean it up and that's it. Or do you have any way to get rid of the dog from come near to your house? Your view please.

I would certainly look for the dog owner and give the person a piece of my mind. As to getting rid of the dog from coming over, that's a tough one unless you'd put a fence over your property. I mean, is there such a thing as a dog repelling chemical for plants?

Yeah, it really worked. I don't put that much of garlic, so the smell is not so obvious, but I think the dog just doesn't like it.

I have think of to tell the dog's owner to take care of his own dog, but later I found out that using a smashed garlic can get rid of the dog and it really worked after I put a few near my house gate and the dogs never return anymore.

The reason this dog keeps coming back to the same spot, is he smell his scent there, so he thinks that it is HIS spot to go. Kinda like laying claim of his land. What you can do to get rid of this issue, is spray bleach, or vinegar on the same spot that the dog keeps coming back to. The smell will not only cover his scent, but will not smell good to the dog making him walk away!

Yeah, it was almost at the same spot and I think the dog actually is marking his territory. I did not use bleach or vinegar instead I use smashed garlic and put some at the spot and the dog never return, I think the dog afraid of the garlic smell.

Hi. yspmyl. If you know for sure whom the owner is, you can confront them about this. If not, if you are renting, I would let my manager know what is going on so they can confront the owner and they can get this straightened out with them. The owner of the dog should have more respect for your yard and others. It is not fair that you have to clean up someone else dog's poop. And three times at that too! I think that management should not allow any dogs to wander around the property of others, something should be done about this and I mean fast too!

Hi! Yeah, it is really unfair to clean someone else dog's poop and it was really smelly too. I actually do not like to confront with other and that will make my relationship with the neighbor get worst. I have learn this that a smashed garlic will scared away the dog, so I did it and put some at my front gate and it works, the dog never return so far.

This also happens before in my place. Good thing that the baranggay imposed no stray dogs or it will be impound when they caught your dog outside your house. Since then,i don't have any trouble cleaning dog poop everyday.

That is good to have such a implementation on such a problem. I think that will definitely work it is also implement here. The dog owner will definitely take care of their dog when come to money.

Great. For Chinese, it is a good sign of prosperous. For me, I shall leave it there. Once a dog poop at a place, other dogs will poop at the same place too. I believe they are making a remark at that place. In order to stop them pooping in the front of your gate, I suggest you to flush and cover the smell where you find the dogs' waste with other perfume or some other scented detergent. I am sure, the dogs can not recognize the place anymore. ha! ha!

I prefer not to have such a smelly prosperity. How can you leave it there when you have to go out of your house but you have to pass it every now and then, what if at the moment that you are so unlucky that you step on it, I think that will be consider a real prosperous. I have tried put a few smashed garlic at the gate and so far the dog did not return, I think they do not like the smell of the garlic.

That was how I think to do it that way, but that will take me a lot of time to keep watching them, and I don't know when the dog will come. Finally I use smashed garlic to chase away the dog and the dog never return at all until now. The dog doesn't like the smell, I think.

Hi yspmyl, such similar undesirable matters happen in my house surrounding every now and then as well. My neighbor living on the left keeps many cats. She lets her pets roaming here and there all the time. It's awful that her cats like to sleep under our cars parking at the porch often. I don't mind they stay but it's disgusting that the little kittens would leave their poops somewheare near the cars often. Cats usually will dig a hole and poop and then cover them with sand or soil. These cats do this often near my vegetable seedlings. Some of my baby plants become withered and couldn't grow well for they have spoiled their roots. Worse still nasty puke of the cat was left on the floor sometimes. This really makes us feeling sick. We have to take trouble to do the troublesome cleaning as well When the irresponsible cat owner was told she just uttered some cunning smiles and never said that she would take care of her cats nicely and didn't allow them to come over to house again Happy posting

I hate cat when they poop in my garden, the smell is so bad and disgusting and you are right, they did puke some time, and I did clean that before in my garden. I even have cat give birth inside my rooftop where I heard them moving at night on top of my head. There are too many irresponsible cats and dogs owner who never take care of them and they just want to have fun with the animal.

I would probably be the one cleaning up after the dog. You can be sure if i can i will be waiting for the dog]s owner the next time to inform them of my dispreciaation for the mess they leave behind. the dog owner should show respect to where their dog is doing their business.

I have think of to wait for the dog's owner about the issue, but after think twice, I have think of another alternative way where I had put some smashed garlic at the spot, and so far the dog never return.

Oh! that's really disgusting yspmyl. If i were in your shoes, I might not be able to control my temper. I might explode haha. Well, anyway if it does continue to happen everyday and you can't find the dog who's doing it as well as its owner, I suggest you file a complaint in your neighborhood association or barangay regarding your problem. They might be able to help you or maybe you can put a hidden camera in front of your house to catch the dog. Ok goodluck! Hope you can get rid of your problem once and for all.

I am a big lover of dogs, but when it comes to dogs leaving poop in front of my house, that is not amusing at all.I had that same kind of problem and there was even a time when I would wait for that dog ready to hit him with ready stones in my hand. I just can't approve of owners of these dogs why do they just let them loiter and litter on the streetI have two dogs and I pick up their poo poos every day for almost 6years now. I think the owners of those stray dogs needs some lecture on their responsiblity to their dogs and to the community they belong to.

To pick up the dog's poops by the owner is not the common practice here. Most of the dog owner will let their dog go wild and let them free for sometime and do whatever the dog want to do. The owner only take care of the dog food and they will not bother to do the cleaning for the dog either. I think to fail a complain to the community center will probably make some changes on these dog owner. Or else if this continue and if the situation getting worst, I will probably call the authority and let them took away those dogs that not body care especially by the owner.

Wow.. that is really unlucky, having 3 dogs poop in front of you gate.. That happens to me sometimes too- unfortunately no one really owns the dogs here. We just cover it up with ash or something so no one would step on it..

Omg sorry to hear... I see people nearby put on their lawns PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG. Maybe you should sit infront of your home before you go to work or wherever and see who it is. Probably the same person.

I actually roughly know whose dog that have done the dirty job. And I found a solution that can actually scared away the dog from come near. I put some garlic around my gate, and the dog never come to my house anymore so far. I hope it will work.

Talking about series of unfortunate events. Those events are a nuisance to everyone. I remembered I have to clean up the dogs and puppies poops every time they do it! I sometimes feel dizzy whenever I clean the poops. I guess it's already a normal thing for me to do every single day.

It is fine for me if the dogs and puppies is mine, but now the dogs is someone else and I have to clean up for them. That is really ridiculous. How can someone let go their hand and be so irresponsible. They should take care of their dog and not let them go wild and poop everywhere.

I hate it when people don't take care of there dogs and cleaning up after them is taking care of them. I would look for the owner of the animal and if that didn't work I would contact the city about it when I seen the dog doing it again.

Yeah, it is real annoying when we have take care of someone else dog's poops. I have a neighbor who having 5 dogs and once in a while he will let the dogs out and that is the time where they make the place dirty, they will bite someone shoes and especially when the dustbin is not closed properly.

If possible, can you set a trap in front of your house, and next time the dog comes by, it might get scared itself. If I have spare time, I would wait for the dog come back next time, and see who is its owner, and file a complaint against his/her pet. You know what, dog poop at the front yard too, while I was mowing the grass, I saw some poop just there, yuck.

You could catch the dog, or dog and owner by using video camera.
