How can I keep my neighbors dog out of my flower beds without hurting it?
I like gina's answer-- talk to the owner first.





Show that you want the dog to be safe, but will protect your yard as necessary. If the owner is smart, they will restrain their animal... if they aren't smart, animal control is a legitimate solution.





Unless you are like me and live in a "free range" area (no legal requirements to keep animals contained), the owner is required to restrain his/her animals.





On the other hand, if you actually do live in a "free range" area, talk to the owner. If he says to shoot the offending animal... do it- quickly and quietly!
Reply:Tell your neighbor that you just put down some kind of chemical in your flower bed that may be harmful to animals and that you think it would be best if they kept it out of your yard, to prevent the animal from getting sick or dying. That will show that you "care" about their animal. If not, call animal control and report a stray dog the next time it is in your yard.
Reply:Buy 2 or 3 jalapeno peppers; boil them; add some water to dilute the mixture if you want to; spray the liquid on your flowers. The dog will get a sniff of pepper and quit. If he doesn't, make the same mixture but don't dilute it. It won't hurt your flowers; it won't injure the dog.
Reply:Zap it with a power hose or parp an irritating hooter everytime it abuses... it will get the message before long. Dogas aren't that dumb!
Reply:Put cayenne pepper, steak spices or ashes on them.....ashes and steak spices both work and their cheap!!!! But somtimes that stuff doesn't work and i am not trying to be the best but thats what i do to get my neghigbor's dog away from my rose bushes!!!! And if that doesn't work i'm sorry for even trying but i alway's TRY to help!!!!!
Reply:You don't! You're neighbor does! If they don't call animal control or the city cops.Don't put up with it . Haven't they herd of the leash law.
