Dog mess
Hi
I have a problem and was wondering if anyone in this newsgroup might be able to help me. I have two gardens on my property, the back garden is fenced, that garden isn't the problem. The front garden, however, is unfenced as I live in council terraced property and the grass is open and we are not allowed to fence that part off (some tenants have bought their property and fenced off their part of the front garden, whilst others like me cannot). I have lived here for nearly a year now, and at first was worried about the possibility of "unwanted presents" being left on the open grass, but until recently I've had no problem. Now, all of a sudden a dog has started using the front garden as a toilet. I don't know what dog it is, the mess is there on a morning when I get up. None of the neighbours nearby have dogs, so I can't even pinpoint a culprit. The mess appears to just be on the lawn outside my front garden and not on any of the (unfenced) gardens nearby! The houses on both sides of me do not have fencing either and their gardens are untouched... I've bought some of that scoot stuff, but it's not seemingly working, probably due to rain we've had recently. At a previous property I tried that crystal "keep off" or "get off" gear and that never really worked back then. The neighbours on either side haven't seen any dog doing it's business either, and obviously they are worried too that the dog will start fouling their grass too (each patch of garden is seperated by a path that leads to the street). we all have young children and can't take the risk of infections etc. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do before this problem gets out of hand? Also, why would a dog suddenly turn up and start messing like that anyway? I hate the sight of the mess too, and the ground is so wet I don't want to scoop up the large (and they are large) deposits that are being left. Sensors etc are impractible for this area. Thanks Robbie To reply by e-mail REMOVE the obvious! |
