This week’s dilemma: How do you politely inform your neighbor that their dog’s mess doesn’t belong on your property? Have a question of your own? We’d love to hear it!
Dear Home Insemination Kit,
My neighbors moved in about five years ago, and while they seem like nice people who keep their home and yard in good shape, there’s one big issue. They don’t have a fence (neither do we), and their dog has made it a habit to do its business all over my yard. It happens at least two or three times a week, in the front, back, and even the side yard! They act like they don’t even notice, let alone offer to clean up after their pet. I’m fed up. I’m a cat person for a reason! How do I approach this? We’ve hinted at it casually before, but now I’m ready to confront them directly.
Wow, it sounds like you’ve got quite a mess on your hands! It’s puzzling how some dog owners allow their pets to roam without supervision. Whether the dog is wandering or they’re simply not paying attention, it’s clear that poop doesn’t belong in your yard. They should absolutely be cleaning it up.
When you find a good moment to speak with them, consider saying something like, “Hey, we’ve noticed that your dog seems to enjoy our yard as a bathroom! While we appreciate the compliment, could you please make sure to clean up after him?”
They shouldn’t take offense, but be prepared for any defensive reactions. If they do get a bit huffy, you might want to add, “It’s nothing personal; it just doesn’t belong in our yard. Thanks for understanding!”
Another approach, inspired by a neighbor of mine, is to collect the droppings, bag them up, and leave them on their doorstep. Some might even skip the bag and simply place the mess outside their door. This way, it’s very clear what the issue is, and hopefully, they’ll take responsibility for their dog’s actions.
Good luck dealing with this situation, and I’m sorry you’ve had to put up with such a nuisance. Not everyone is cut out to be a responsible pet owner!
