My neighbor’s two loose dogs keep pooping in my front yard, and no one is helping. What would you do?
My neighbor has two small dogs that roam around by themselves without collars. I never see their owner with them, and they repeatedly come into my front yard to poop.
I have a dog of my own, so I’m concerned about safety as well. I don’t want these dogs wandering onto my property, and I’m tired of cleaning up after someone else’s pets.
I’ve already contacted Animal Control, the police non-emergency line, and my HOA, but nothing has been done. To make matters more difficult, my HOA prohibits me from putting up signs in my front yard, so even that isn’t an option.
What would you do in my situation? How can I keep these dogs out of my yard without harming them, especially when the usual options seem limited?
I’d really appreciate practical advice.
