I have some very disrespectful people living in my neighbourhood, who let their dogs poop all over our lawns and DON’T pick up after them! I’m wondering if there is a homemade repellent that I can use on my lawn so that the dogs don’t leave me any "gifts". I don’t want anything to harm the dogs in any way. I am a dog owner and love dogs. I have tried the standard cayenne pepper, black pepper concoction but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated as I have very little lawn as it is and try to keep my property clean and pretty in the spring and summer. OWNERS need to be trained better!!!!
I am getting into the habit of jogging in order to lose weight. The problem is a lot of people leave their dogs unleashed in my neighborhood. I know if I cease movement, they will cease chasing me, but this is not always the case. Today I almost got mauled, but I was carrying pepper spray and I used it to avert the canine’s attack successfully. This got me wondering about what other methods for self defense against dog attacks when I go for a jog?
I know there is the ultrasonic repellent. I know there is pepper and OC spray. I also know there is taser. What other methods are out there? Which one is the best or should it be a combination? What should I look for when I shop for dog repellent in order to get the best quality and what a good place to shop?
Also, what ones carry the least amount of legal restrictions in the US?
Rather not use a firearm. Shooting my neighbor’s dog is a sure way to get on their bad side. Plus I rather not hurt the dog chasing me, just have a means to defend myself if I have to with as little harm as possible.
I am not going around "abusing animals".
I go around minding my own business. It is sometimes necessary to defend my self. Hell, I had to do so today, so advice (not harassment) would be appreciated. Thank you.
I love to run and love to take my own dog for a walk, but where we live there are just WAAYY to many dogs roaming around. I love dogs, but do have a slight fear of other people dogs roaming around. Where we live there is no leash law (in the county). I can’t walk my own dog (who is fenced in) because around the corner both ways are dogs that run after you.
Anyway I want to start running again I have a treadmill, but really there is nothing like getting up early and going out for a run not to mention I would like to take my own dog out for runs or walks. Where can I purchase a spray that will make the dogs leave me alone yet not hurt the dog?
I found on amazon Halt dog repellent. Anyone ever use it?

I got two cats in March, and a dog a few days ago.
One of my cats has always had the desire to pee on soft items that are not permanently in the living space. He has never peed on the carpeting, couch, or pillows on the couch, but he has peed on blankets on the floor and in my backpack on the floor.
This was tolerable because I could just make sure nothing out of the ordinary was on the floor.
Well, now he’s decided he’s gonna pee on the dog’s bed, which is a big cushion. Any blanket or bed I leave in the dog’s crate he will pee on. I want to keep the dog’s crate open so he can go in and out. I don’t think it’s a territory issue since he did it before the dog.
Short of the spray bottle, which I can only do if I catch him, and he doesn’t seem to give a s*** about, is there anything I can do? I don’t want the bed ruined totally.
Is there a pet repellent only for cats that won’t bug my dog?
Thanks!
I guess I should add that there are two litter boxes, two different kinds of litter, both of which he uses, and I am super clean with them (every day cleaning).
He has been to the vet and has no urinary tract infection. It is really JUST on out of place cloth items. Argh.

I have a 5 yr old alpha doberman female, that I found out after having her about 2 months that she was trained as an area protection dog/ deterrent. When she is outside in the yard, she is always "looking" into the neighbors yards, and everything she sees that moves gets barked at and she runs the perimeter of the yard like she is possessed. I was told she was trained to do that. I do not know if she would bite anyone who happened to come into her area,because it is gated and no one has ever tried.I have asked several dog trainers about how to get her to stop doing it, with no luck/ideas that work. She is very very loud and the neighbors kids are scared of her. She is very friendly, and so quiet and chill when in the house and out in public that you don’t even notice her. But shes a monster in the backyard. I have tried the whistle technique, bringing her in when she starts the bad behavior, and rewarding her for "quiet". None of it works. I want to be able to be out in the yard with her and my other 3 dogs peacefully. I have had her for a year and no luck. My other 3 dogs do not act like her. They are very good in the yard and occasionally chase a squirrel. Does anyone have any other ideas?
I have a house dog and he has fleas! He’s a schnauzer. He’s had fleas for a while…More than 8 months really. We have a special flea and tick killing shampoo and we bathe him in the shampoo about once every two weeks. When I bathe him I see the dead fleas rise on top of his coat. I only see about 2-3 everytime but at least I know it’s working.
Even after I bathe him he still scratches. I wait a few days and he continues to scratch…It only gets worse with time. He doesn’t scratch as much after I bathe him but all in all he still does it.
I wash all of his things in hot water everytime I bathe him. And I spray a flea repellent on him…I’ve even used a flea collar in addition to all this but he still seems to have fleas on him.
The culprit might be the carpet. He loves to go in my brothers room and sleep on his carpet. The fleas are probably in the carpet but he won’t stay out of there.
ANY ideas for removing the fleas from my dog and my house? I really hate to see my dog suffer.
I want to protect her from those nasty bugs / moscitos in the yard during the summer.
She is on" Frontline plus" but that don’t bothers this little suckers.
I ‘m not asking for anything against fleas or ticks.
Thank you
Thank you ,Gail .
My dog is an indoor dog and the bugs /moscitos are only in the yard .
@Toxi , thank you but i live in the USA.
Danke, aber ich lebe doch in den USA
That’s all I have, & I’m scared of dogs, & there are many loose dogs in the area I live in. I have an anxiety disorder, so I can’t help but to be scared.
I’m investigating cat repellents for my garden. It’s mostly flowers but I do have one area where I grow garlic, so whatever I choose needs to be safe enough to use NEAR the garlic, even if I don’t sprinkle it right on top of it.
I’ve settled on some type of granule because I don’t want to be out there spraying every day.
I don’t need to get rid of the cats completely, they just need to stop pooing in freshly turned dirt.
I’m thinking of either wolf urine granules or Repel Dog & Cat Repellent or Gardeners Supply Company Dog and Cat Repellent.
I’m leaning toward the urine because I think it would be safe to sprinkle around my garlic bed.
I don’t want to mess with pepper or coffee grounds or anything that’s just going to blow or wash away easily, and mothballs are out too.
Have you had success with any of these products or what do you recommend?
