We will be in touch
Reet, Here we go,
Next door have 2 dogs. Perfectly normal so far. They're decent folks who we get on with reasonably well, not best buddies or owt but happy to chat, take parcels all that jazz. They let their dogs out to exercise in their garden, all fine and dandy, they're not barkers, coupleof spaniels, nice tempraments etc (they get walked everyday too). But they don't clean up the shat. Their garden is literally covered in crap.
House situation: terraced cottages with gardens the other side of shared access, we and next door t'other side have access through their garden to our outside toilet/woodsheds.
Now the house is rented and we've had words before (their dog dumping allover the place) to the extent that a gate was put up on th shared access between theirs and ours - all amicably done and a big clean up was undertaken. At the minute this is not such a problem, as things warm up however there's gonna be ructions, cos it'll smell, attract flies, our boys and their son will be in the gardens etc.
Now course of action 1 will be to have a quiet word but if this fails is this something I can approach environmental health with?
To finish on a not wholly relevant or warranted jibe, as per tradition, he's a chef and they have a five year old.

I've had a neighbour who used to only pick up all the dog eggs once every few weeks... Even after putting up a fence it still stank during the summer 🙁
Are red setters coprophiles or summet?
Poison the dogs*
*I may have stepped in a very fresh dog poo this morning
Buy a couple of pitbulls. The end.
I seem to remember seeing something on TV a couple of years ago with RSPCA inspectors giving warnings to people who didn't clean up shit within their own gardens. It was dangerous for the dog somehow (infection or something) as well as others. Might be worth asking them if there's anything they can do.

Environmental Health I reckon for that - if you get nowhere try the press - guy called Orwell does a lots of that stuff - last reported a bit unwell in UCH but might be worth writing to - not sure if really pucker - uses another name - something "Blair" don't think related but you never know - also went to Eton - its that time and old boys will do anything for a headline
Just curl a big steamer out on his lawn, like in that Jim Carrey film !

Must have been in a bonus on the DVD.
LIke all MCWCB neighbour disputes it's pretty easy to settle - just assert total alpha male dominance using verbal intimidation in a completely disproportionate manner then escalate rapidly to excessive physical violence.
If not just STFU and spend the rest of your life as their beeeaitch 😆
Just shovel it up..
Into a large pile outside their door.
It sounds like you're taking the common sense approach 🙂 Your local council will have a dog warden who's remit may include dealing with stuff like this.
I'd stock up on fly papers. They're cheap during the winter. It's going to reek once it warms up 😆
I once heard that a guy didn't like next doors cat. So in the dead of night he cat napped him, drove thirty miles down the road and let the cat out. For a few weeks he then heard his neighbour going "kitty kitty" but after that no cat problem.
Maybe you should do the same?
if you are getting smells and flies then call environmental health.
Highlight danger of dog poo to their child's health , threaten to contact environmental health , possibly social services or mumsnet.. [url= http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/childrens_health/a1045626-Girl-blinded-by-dog-poo-Did-you-know-about-the ]Dangers of dog poo[/url]
Hoof her in the slats?

Tell the dog owner not to feed the dog any PUDDING....
Take to defecating in your own garden and wait for them to complain, thus presenting the perfect opportunity for a discussion about fecal matters on the other side of the fence.
Or, go and lay a cable next door to their pub.
TBH I'd tell them how it effects you and your family and offer to pick up the shit myself and put it in their bin. You should have to do this but sometimes if it solve the problem its easier. Might give you some leverage over them in future situations.
Walked every day? Sure? Any dog I've ever walked every day NEVER shits in its own territory. Dogs aren't stupid!
Burn his house down...as a warning

Not true, my dog gets walked 2 to 3 times a day and still prefers to dump in the privacy of our garden, maybe its stagefright?
Yes they are. Mine get 2 walks a day but still crap in the garden*.Walked every day? Sure? Any dog I've ever walked every day NEVER shits in its own territory. Dogs aren't stupid!
At least I clean it up though.
*They are Springers though so that might account for them being stupid.
+1 for having a springer who loves to take a dump in the back garden.
And then about 2 or 3 more when out on a walk...talking of which...we are off to the beach 😀
CHeers all, spectaculalry unhelpful for the most part but a few corroborations/ideas.
Oh and fashaggis:
MehMeh!!**mehmehmehmeh**!!MehMeh
Keep telling them the grass is getting long. No one wants to mow dog shit as it goes everywhere.
Also buy loads of lawn feed and use it overnight, every night.
Fight fire with fire. Collect up local dog eggs and throw them into their garden, then tell the neighbours the poo must be breeding.
Build a small trebuchet and lay siege to your next door neighbours house using the dog eggs as ammunition while wearing a saucepan on your head.
Or
Open the gate and let the dogs shit all over your garden and see how they like it.
Local authority environmental health team. That's why you pay your taxes
I'd worry about the smell of the urine too in summer,it can reek stronger than the pooh.No help I know.
Slat her in the hoofs !
its yer invirusmental health at whats left of the council you need.. they be round for a quiet word with the poo ers and or enforcement notice.. see it lots in sunny rochdale and report every time..give the council boys sommat to do and a feel good high five for cleaning up the town..
They sound pretty approachable so I would tell them your concerns for the health of your , AND THEIR child and try to resolve things amicably .
If that fails hoof her in the slats . 😆
Buy a cheap Mondeo and park it in the garden having registered the V5C in the dogs name. Or hoof it in the slats, as previously suggested.
Hoof the dog in the slats, surely?
Dog or Mondeo, either or...
That's disgraceful! There are plenty of parks and playgrounds where they could take those dogs for a poo.
