While it may be an old wives' tale, something like this is followed
in other parts of the world: in Hawaii, people sometimes put out large
glass bottles of water (gallon jugs or so) around their yard to
"discourage" dogs and cats from going to the bathroom there.

I have no doubt of it, there is no limit to the foolishness of ignorant
people. I have seen apparently rational people swear that they are getting
energy out of a crystal hanging around their neck -- not much different from
expecting water bottles to influence the bladder and bowel discharges of
cats and dogs.

Well, I think the "theory" is that dogs and cats are more reluctant
to go to the bathroom around water. I have no idea how true this is.

That may well be true; it makes evolutionary sense for clients of the
waterhole to avoid fouling it.

On the other hand, it isn't clear that dogs and other non-human mammals can
perceive that a glass bottle has water inside. Or, if they could, that the
column of water it contains is equivalent to a pool from which water can be
lapped up.

I can't apologize for my doubt or for my bemused reaction, which seemed
pretty well to match the nature of the suggestion.

I have no idea what offends you about my email address, which is a REAL and
VALID address (no bullshit, if that's what you mean by "b.s."), disguised
from harvesting bots, yet readable by humans. The fact that you don't do
something like that may explain the mountain of spam/junk mail you find in
your inbox (I get none at all). There is no particular virtue in making
yourself and your ISP the target of malicious spammers and virus
distributors -- especially for Outlook users like yourself.

I am not sure what "funky" can mean in this context; I'm sure I could look
that up, if it seemed worthwhile.

No cameras, but they should have told you that being naked is a requirement in
order to make it work.

What can I do to discourage feral, and not so feral, dogs from coming into
my property both in daylight and at night, crapping here and there as the
spirit moves them (no pun intended), and making threatening noises at me?
