Neighbor's dog pees thru fence.
Hello,
My next door neighbor's dog pees thru the chain link fence and it's killing my lawn. What can I can do to stop it? Is there something I can sprinkle by the fence to keep the dog away? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Dan Sullivan |

Put some lime down on the effected grass. It won't stop the dog but it will
neutralize the acid. |

Nothing you apply will prevent the dog from peeing where he's peed before. So your options are to either add a barrier to the fence to prevent the urine from reaching your grass or to mitigate the uric acid in the urine once it's already on your grass. The most effective way of doing that is copiously watering your grass in that area to dilute the uric acid. A few gallons once or twice a week and you should notice an improvement. Cate |

Not quite true. We found that an electric fence wire placed where the dog liked to pee was VERY effective after only one application (although I shuddered in sympathy). |

Yup, have used "electrical behavior modification therapy" on a dog that came through to pee on the garbage can, clothes line posts and screen door. It only takes once. I guarantee that dog won't even come to your side of his property to pee after one zap. Val |

Not at all.
I've seen the dog pee thru the fence and the grass dies where it peed. There are dead patches all along the fence line. I have a dog in the back yard and the grass is not dead, why is the pee killing weeks and grass? I wish my dog's pee killed weeds, it's a lot cheaper than chemicals! |

The beast must have great aim!!!
Next time you catch the mutt in the act, take a beebee gun and shoot him in the balls. He should get the message after maybe two or three or four times. Most dogs really aren't all that bright so it may take some time for him to figure it out. Now if the dog learns to like being shot in the balls you might have another problem to deal with.

Be careful of the electric fence idea depending on where you live it might
be illegal and you can be charged and sued. As for the gun idea (only an asshole would come up with that) also illegal depending on where you live. Try sprinkling some gypsum on the spots it will neutralize the acid. Usually only female dogs have the acid urine. Seems kinda funny if a female dog is urinating through a chain link fence.

Anyone have any suggestions? Others have suggested putting up an electric fence but I think that's a bit extreme. You could try installing vinyl strips in the fence. The strips should reflect most of the dog pee back into your neighbours yard. In addition it will provide you with a bit more privacy. Talk to neighbour about the problem, they should be willing to split the cost with you. Running paving stones along the fence that are slightly tilted towards your neighbour's yard should catch any of the dog pee that still makes it through the fence. Pressure treated lumber or landscaping ties [1] that are sufficiently staked into the ground would also work. As an added bonus you'll never have to use a trimmer along the fence line again. To fix the dead spots, flood the area with water for a couple of days in a row to disipate the urine and then reseed the affected areas. In my experience, killspots smaller than about 8"x8" don't need to be reseeded; With sufficient watering, they'll grow back just as quickly as reseeding. ----- [1] If at all possible use arsenic free treated lumber (IIRC, it usually labelled AAC but ask the lunberyard just to be sure.).

both male and female have acid urine. however, males rarely dump their urine all in
the same place while females do dump all at once most of the time. more urine, greater dead patch.

Grass damage due to dog urine is very common, enough so that you'll find solutions for it all over the web, as well as in bulletins offered by cooperative extension offices. The extent of damage might vary with the amount of rainfall in a particular place, since the simplest solution is to simply dilute the urine with heavy watering. |

Đ Killing a dog because he's ****ing on your grass is usually illegal. Killing a dog because he's ****ing on your vegetable garden may not be illegal, but certainly qualifies as stupid. How about taking some of the burden of responsibility on your own shoulders? Maybe if you didn't plant your tomatos right next to your fence you would have less of a problem. Maybe if you told your neighbors that you have a right to kill their dog if they pee on your garden you would get a better response. Be glad you don't have me as a neighbor. I have a dog, and I'm temporarily watching another dog. Both are males, and both spend time in my (fenced in) backyard. If you killed one of those dogs, I would do everything in my power to make certain you paid for it. Your attitude is ridiculously arrogant and self- centered. Maybe after 30 years, you would have learned to place some form of a barrier between yourself and your neighbor's dogs. I guess not. But not to worry, the problem isn't yours. You can gleefully kill the dogs. No problem. Where do you live by the way? I bet your neighbors would like to know of your intentions of killing their dogs if they pee on your garden. But then again, I'm sure you've told them yourself. Or, is it false bravado on your part? -Geoff |

... Maybe after 30 years, you would have learned to place some form of a barrier between yourself and your neighbor's dogs. Zoning laws prevent placing a fence in the appropriate place, and the arrangement of ancient trees on my property prevents relocating the vegetable garden. Remember - I said all legal means had been exhausted. But not to worry, the problem isn't yours. I assume you mean "the blame for the situation". In that case, the problem is not mine. The dog problems I refer to involve STRAYS - dogs roaming the neighborhood off their leash and off their property. Here are the facts. Suggest a solution. 1) The town has a "3 strikes" law. If your dog is picked up by animal control while it's off its leash (and your property, obviously), you lose your dog. It's taken to a place called (unbelievably) "Lollipop Farm", where it is put down if not adopted within a certain period of time. Getting an animal control drone to actually show up requires an act of Congress. 2) The animal control drone only works from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except in cases where an animal is dangerous and must be picked up immediately, for reasons of public safety. At least half the stray dogs in my neighborhood are out earlier than 7:00 AM, probably because their owners want them to wreak havoc before they need to leave for work. 3) In cases where the dog is doing actual damage to property, the animal control drone claims he must witness the act. He has been presented with videotape of two dogs actually digging in my flower beds. One one tape, I followed the dog home and taped it entering its home. The drone did not consider this to be a valid reason to act. The only remaining legal hope here is a reinterpretation of laws concerning "civil trespass". This is defined as a situation where a neighbor causes or allows substances or objects to enter your property, thereby doing damage. An example would be chemicals sprayed over the property line by a lawn service (or homeowner). If the law included dogs, it would eliminate the need to witness damage. The mere presence of the dog would make the owner a candidate for arrest. |

You could sue the dog's owners in small claims court for damages, esp. with
proof of dog on video and following back into house. Even getting the notice of suit filed would be a wake-up call. Don't need a lawyer to file, either. From what I've heard, it's usually easy to file in s.c. court. I've never sued anyone, btw (!), but my DH is a decent environmental one. -- pelirojaroja "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ...

Furthermore, you could (at this point) claim that you are investigating the possibility of civil trespass, and may hold the owner of the dog liable for all damages to your garden. But, none of this can happen unless you speak with the owner.

Get real. Most Americans spend most of their time doing stuff that is completely non-productive like watching TV, smoking cigarettes or watching DVDs. If we all got to see what you really did with your time, we would most likely feel like your time is virtually worthless. It would only take you a few minutes to go next door, but I'd say the real problem is you don't know how to communicate with anything other than the TV. I think you are just chicken to confront your neighbor. You aren't fooling anyone here but yourself. |
