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 :-\
And if it doesn’t put the shit in the basket It gets the hose again!
Give Precious the hose! SRSLY!
If she’s a renter, try talking to her landlord.
I’ve called people on letting their dogs leave deposits on sidewalks – usually works, but I try to be polite about it – along the lines of “We try to keep the block beautiful for everyone, blah, blah…”
But 3 pitties – that’s a whole lot of shit!
Rob: the c-fruit in Park Slope are better mannered…aren’t you lucky you live here?
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*
Call 311/DOS, whatever you have to do to stop this inconsiderate behavior. Due to the threatening husband, maybe you could get a restraining order? Go to the Precinct yourself with the evidence (I meant the video, but the actual byproducts in bags might be effective too!)
Also, even if they are sociable dogs, the sight of unleashed dogs on the street gives tacit permission to owners of unsocialized, uncontrolled dogs. Some people are — perhaps irrationally – deathly afraid of animals. Some dogs, on leash, don’t like other dogs. Let me tell you, there’s no better 11:00 pm fun than having a loose dog run up to your leashed dog while the owner is ambling along down the dark block saying “don’t worry, he’s friendly!” The neighbors don’t enjoy waking up to the snarly sounds and yelling either.
This is really bad. It gives a bad name to all dogowners. I have 3 dogs, 1 medium and 2 largeish. They too have big ><#$%s. Would you like a contribution to add to your revenge ammunition?
I once had a young couple that insisted on walking two small lap dogs on my front lawn , which is easily accessible from the sidewalk and not gated. From time to time I noticed small deposits on the lawn and in my flower beds. After confronting them several times to no avail, I was told by a nieghbor of mine, who is a police Lt. to file a harrassment complaint/report with my local precint. I did so and since they have become aware of me doing so, the activity has ceased. I like Hank’s idea but after several uncomfortable exchanges I felt I had to let them know “officially” that their behavior was unnieghborly and would not be tolerated. Good Luck!
Try to reason with the dog’s.
