The message
from "Sharon" contains these words:

Thanks for all the responses. I think on reflection I'll hold off on
suggesting this idea to my neighbour. I'm not clear as to whether it is the
dog chasing the fox out of the garden or simply the dog's scent in the
garden that is effective. I had hoped the latter.

Ask your neighbour for some of her dog's poohs, and place them round
the garden. Or, borrow the dog occasionally, and walk it round your
garden on the lead to spread its scent.


Janet.
