Dear Home Insemination Kit,
My neighbors moved in five years ago and are generally nice folks who keep their place tidy. However, they don’t have a fence, and their dog seems to think my yard is his personal restroom. It happens at least two or three times a week in the front, back, and even side yards! They don’t seem to notice, let alone offer to clean it up. As a devoted cat person, I’ve reached my limit. How do I confront them about this? We’ve hinted at it before, but it’s been too passive. I’m ready to take action!
Wow, it sounds like you’ve been dealing with quite the mess! It’s puzzling that they allow their dog to roam freely. Do they just let it wander around? Regardless of how it ends up in your yard, it absolutely shouldn’t be there, and they should be responsible for cleaning it up.
When you get the chance to talk to them, try saying something like, “We’ve noticed that Max loves to use our yard as his bathroom! While we appreciate his taste, could you please make sure to clean up after him?” They shouldn’t take offense, but if they do, you can follow up with, “It’s nothing personal; it just doesn’t belong in our yard. Thanks for understanding!”
Another approach, inspired by a former neighbor of mine, is to bag up the droppings, tie the bag, and leave it on their front porch. Some even chose to forgo the bag and placed the mess directly at their doorstep. They’ll definitely get the hint—you’re not putting up with their dog’s mess anymore. Hopefully, this will encourage them to be more responsible pet owners.
Good luck, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this unpleasant situation. Not everyone is cut out to be a pet owner, just like not everyone should become a parent.
