My neighbors have two dogs and they put there kennel right by my gardens.
My gardens are in three boxes about 2.5 feet away from the fence that the
dogs are at. The dogs pee through the fence and kill the grass around my
garden boxes. Are there any plants I can put along the fence that dogs
don't like or go near? Someone told me to pee in a squirt bottle and spray
it on the fence and the dogs won't pee there again. Is this true? I don't
like the smell of dog poop when I am working in my garden! Any suggestions?

Thank you

You don't need to pee in a bottle. The person who told you to do that is
messing with you. Don't listen to the jerk.

Buy a bag of urea fertilizer and a bag of bone meal and spread them
liberally near where the dogs are. The combined scents should drive them
nuts.

What kind of fence is it? Can you erect a short barrier to block the pee?
Spraying the fence with your scent will probably cause the dogs to urinate
there even more if it's territorial marking. If you water the area well pee
shouldn't kill the grass though. The poop smell is another story... and
short of asking your neighbors to move the kennel, I doubt there is anything
you can do. I sympathize. Our neighbors started raising pigs on the
fenceline a short distance upwind of our house. Smelled so bad we couldn't
sit in the back yard or even open the windows! We complained as tactfully as
possible and were lucky -- after the pigs got to slaughtering age they
didn't replace them. Can you invite your neighbor over for a picnic lunch -
set up next to your garden of course so the poop smell is unavoidable...
then if you apologize for the smell, well, how can they not get the hint!
Good luck.

put up a solid wood fence to keep pee from coming thru and block the drift of odor.
put a squirt of dish soap into a bucket of water and use that to neutralize the odor.

we got dogs confined to a smallish area of our tiny backyard and have to pick up and
deodorize all the time.
the only other possibility is a "scarecrow" that puts out a blast of water keyed to a
motion detector. set it so it only goes off if the dogs come right up to the fence.

dog poop pretty much smells whether you are working in the garden or not.
but I have found some websites that claim dogs don't like certain plants.
sorry don't remember what they are or if they work, but a search should
turn them up.

I use an electric fence to keep my dogs out of the garden. It's just a
little box that puts out a high voltage with little amperage ... won't hurt
the dog. One terminal goes to the ground and the other goes to a bare wire
that you run around the perimeter. I use pieces of PVC pipe cut to length
and pounded into the ground for the bare wire. They don't cost much and once
or twice is enough for a dog to not want to have any part of it. When he
****es through the fence and hits it .. it will make Viagra seem tame. :') .
If you can, without your neighbor seeing you, spray some water on the other
side where the dogs stand. It will give them more conductivity.

It's a chain link fence. My neighbors don't like us because the dogs kept
on barking all through the night and we couldn't sleep so I said something
about it to "Mr. Too Good" and he never has spoke to us again. His wife
does though. In fact, after the talk they even got another dog thinking it
would keep the other one quiet. After awhile they stopped barking. Now I
have to deal with this.

Well, that previous success shows that they do listen, and are willing
to look for a solution, and the solution they found was successful.

So why not ask Mrs round and explain the problem ? If you give her a
chance to solve it, perhaps she will.
