What is the name of your state? wv

I'm glad I found this forum. My family has tons of issues lol. So we live in an apartment building owned by a private landlord. He allows pets. We knew this upon moving in. There are 8 apartments and only two do not contain cats/dogs. Ours and a neighbor to us. Anyway we have a big parking lot that is gravil. We all park side by side. People let their pets go out and poop in the driveway next to other peoples cars and don't clean it up. I and my husband as well as everyone else has stepped in some kind of animal poop more than once. Most don't complain except the two tenants without pets!! We have called our LL both us and our neighbor. He said he told the tenants to not let their animals poop in the driveway. It did no good. I just saw our neighbor below us open the door and her dogs went out an pooped by my car. Can I do anything to make the neighbors take their dogs to the grass? Or have them poop by their cars? I actually went out one day with a shovel and threw all the piles of poop by their cars. So they could step in their own dogs poop!

A: I don't know because I don't know your neighbors. In any event, have you talked to your neighbors about this problem?

Yes I did return it. I shoveled it from beside my car door over to beside the neighbors van. But I don't think they got the message. I mean the apartment is a two bedroom and she has three poodles plus herself and some cruddy old man that wears some 1970's harley jacket with fringes and smells like cigarettes and dirty hair. (LOL I know this because he was in front of me at the grocery one day.) doubt dog poop by her car in piles means anything. Then we had a meeting with just the tenants outside. And we being the a holes addressed the issue. We said "The LL told us dogs and cats should poop in the grass and that no one is even allowed to have their dogs outside w/o a leash. So if you have your dog on a leash it would be easy to walk fifty feet over to the grass. Because we've stepped in dog poop many times and this is our home too and it doesn't feel like home when you have to watch for "land piles" every time you get out of your car." And they just looked at us and one of them said "well I take my dog to the grass every time anyway". And everyone else just stood there. So we've talked to them. The LL told them. So any way I can talk to maybe the city council to pass something saying if your dog or cat or horse or whatever poops outside unless it's a property of a private residence and NOT being shared by any other household you have to put it in a bag and dispose of it?

call animal control right about the time you know she is going to let the dogs out. Then they can get picked up for running at large and no leashes. :)

Great minds think alike!! I was thinking of their hood with a little note along the line of this:

" Dear Neighbor, I saw you "drop this" this morning and wanted to make sure you got your property back!! Rest assured anytime one of my neighbors "drops" something I will endeavor to "return it" to them!! Signed, A Diligent Neighbor."

:cool::)

Well my husband has recently had surgery and has just been sitting at home. So he's been sitting on the porch in the cold with a supersoaker and everytime a dog comes close to our cars and squats he waits until it gets started pooping then he blasts it with water. It really messes up it's poop session. And it goes off and poops somewhere else. And the water has been pretty cold plus it's coming from one of those soakers with a pack you put on your back and those things have some pressure behind them. One of the neighbors came out complaining that he got her dog wet after she had just given it a bath. And he said if it wasn't pooping by our cars he wouldn't have shot it. And the LL called us lauging saying they were complaining to him but legally theres nothing he can do. So we'll se.

are you sure that there are no city ordinances that require the owner to "scoop" after their pet? In my city there is a $500 fine if you fail to clean up after your animal.

A couple of pics of a pooping poodle should be all you would need.

Not that I'd ever recommend such a thing, but if they continue to let their dogs run free, after putting on a ski mask, I'd grab a roll of TP and a magazine, climb up on their hood on morning, and leave more than some dog poop for them to find. (If I was feeling particularly generous, maybe I'd put a little birthday cake candle in it too).

My guess is the problem would stop shortly thereafter.
