Dog Pooping in Front of House
There seems to be a poop problem on our block. This girl on our block has 3 dogs (pitbulls). We dont mind, the dogs are well trained and havent been bothering anyone. But recently there has been a lot of poop in front of our house. Yesterday, our house had a bunch of dog diarrhea,…
There seems to be a poop problem on our block. This girl on our block has 3 dogs (pitbulls). We dont mind, the dogs are well trained and havent been bothering anyone. But recently there has been a lot of poop in front of our house. Yesterday, our house had a bunch of dog diarrhea, my dad cleaned it, and 2 hours later, again, poop all over. So he became furious because he couldnt open the front gate of our house. Everyone on the block knows her dogs are just pooing everywhere. He confronts her and she gets all defensive. “Prove it” she stated. Okay, so my dad walked away and told me about this and we bought a surveillance camera from RadioShack, rather cheap too. What actions do we have from her dogs pooping everywhere? Also their dogs are never on leashes (i think its illegal?). This has never been a problem to us because they seem well trained BUT now that she doesnt seem to be owning up and cleaning her dogs poop, is this something we can bring to her attention as well?
Okay, I know there have been many postings about working with your neighbors (e.g., bags on tree blocks, etc) but this girl just seems uncooperative.
Thanks again.
BTW-that NYDaily News article on dog shit in Sunset Park is correct :-\
sanitation can give a ticket too
“this is verbatim btw… right outside my old apartment in uptown manhattan…
im scooping up my pitbull’s poop.
i hear two kids laughing and they actually said “only hom0s pick up shi+”
:-/ the kids were like 10 or 11.
*rob*”
LMAO!!!-
Classic nyc shit. No pun intended.
“HA HA! Its true!! I swear an Akita actually shits out MORE than it eats. ”
That explains so much about our dog (he’s from the shelter, but everyone thinks he looks like an akita mix). I never met a dog who pooped so much.
@misty – agree with you. too harsh to call animal control. cameras are rolling though! 🙂
Oh, and thanks for your last comment rob – I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!
Aren’t we talking about dog poop? There’s always someone to pull the breed card! If you catch her on camera, then you have proof. Then confront her or call 311. There are plenty of good suggestions here. I think calling animal control about her(as you said, “well trained”) dogs off the leash is a bit excessive and vindictive, especially since the dogs are not the problem – it’s their poop and their lazy owner. If by some chance her dogs get taken away and you can sleep at night and live with yourself because of it, then call animal control…
yeah, my pitbull is used in liu of a gun :-/ get a clue, someguy.
*rob*
The breed does matter. Pit Bulls can be intimidating in simply their appearance. This comes from the fact that they are capable of killing people. I seriously doubt the OP is going to yell at anyone with three pit bulls off of their leashes. You can call this breedism if you like. But there is no one to blame for this but ourselves. Different breeds of dogs exist because we made them to fit a purpose. Pit Bulls in case it isn’t obvious, were bred to fight. Let’s be honest most people in rougher neighborhoods have pit bulls. They are a weapon in certain situations. Sort of a gun on the hip.
Photo evidence. Giant poster. Public humiliation. Done.
