Default dog-poop?!?!

Hi to all gardeners I have a new neighbour with two dogs - she lets them
run everywhere and lets them poop etc. everywhere. I love dogs - have had
three over a 20 year period and not once have they ever been allowed to
even
go into anyone elses yard (always tied up, which for a dog is a matter of
safety anyway). I am at my wits end and this morning I did something I
may
regret - I took three piles of poopand left them on her sidewalk! I may
end
up in her very bad books but how can someone be so inconsiderate. Does
anyone have any suggestions for the future - as to handling this more
diplomatically. Thanks for any help. Jean


some simple suggestions:

get your garden fenced
get used to it
clean up every couple of days yourself
throw the poop back in to her garden
If it is your wet season let it wash in to your lawn. Unless you are
practically out there eating the dirt it will be bugger all problem

I have 2 dogs who crap on my lawn & 4 cats who also crap on the lawn time to
time. I either pick it up & drop it under a shrub for fertiliser or leave it
there in the rainy season to wash away. My neighbour goes round with a
shovel every few days & picks up his dogs crap round his garden.
