Neighborhood dog off leash, going in our trash and leaving droppings on our lawn - HELP?

If you have a community mailbox, I'd put up a notice that was polite but to the point. Something along the line of "Please note: It is against association rules to let your dog roam off leash. There is a dog who is tearing into trash, eating trash, and eliminating on other people's lawns. Please keep your dog on leash to avoid having to call animal control. Thank you."

Give it a week. If they are still doing it, that's when I'd make the call to animal control and tell them there are stray dogs roaming your area. Then they HAVE to come. It's not a lie either. For all you know, it is stray dogs that are coming out at night and eating trash.

verify alongside with your city ordance, if the backyard is fenced then there is not any difficulty. If no longer and the city has a leash regulation then there may be a difficulty. As for the roosters there is not any thank you to maintain them quiet, as quickly as lower back there may be a city ordance approximately cattle stored in city limits. you could continuously call animal administration and ask approximately leash regulations and cattle interior city limits. while your animals are on your land weither they are leashed or no longer its nonetheless your responsability to maintain them under administration some how. you additionally can positioned money into an invisable fence which will help them stay with contained in the area which you positioned.

Set up a CCTV camera (like a baby cam) to view the yard and record videos of the poopy perpetrator.

If your trash is sprayed with hot pepper sauce, it might be left alone. Try buying a really large bottle of really cheap HOT pepper sauce and spray or paint it on the trash bag or container. Most dogs will leave this alone.

Call your local animal control or aspca. If they can't find the culprit when they are there, sometimes they will set a live trap to catch it and then they can impound it to see if the owner comes forward to claim it. Then they can issue a summons for the dog running loose. Good Luck.

Oh wow thats frusterating...I'm in sort of a similar situation. Our neighbor's dog is never on a leash. Ever since we got our puppy, he has been pooping in our yard and he is a BIG dog, so its nasty. My husband talked to the owner but nothing has changed.

I would say something to the building manager...maybe they can post a "friendly reminder" to all dog owners in the building.

You need to catch the culprit in the act. If you have a video camera, hook it up to a motion detector. Then you can track down the owners and hit them with hard evidence. If they don't respond to your evidence, take it to animal control or the police.

I think its time to call animal control. :]
