Does this work to keep neighbor's dogs from crapping on your lawn? We have a real issue with off-leash dogs using our yard as a toilet....

We had a cat going to the bathroom on our front porch. It took two applications, but we haven't had a problem since.

I did not try using it for that, but it might be worth a try. I have a ferral cat problem. The cats would spray all over my porch and furniture, and sleep on the furniture as well, leaving fur all over the cushions. I couldn't use my porch because of the cats. The spray does seem to deter the pests but I had to spray several times per week.

This product did work effectively, if you want your dog to roll in it and have an obsession with the spray. WASTE of money!

Yes, I think it would. If the dog poop is already in a bag it should work just fine. It would not work if you use a scoop to pick it up, because you have to push it down through the hole. Even if you have a big dog, I think the hole is big enough for dog poop, considering how big some of the diapers are that I put in mine. I'm not sure if it will hold a whole week's worth of dog poop, but it might. Now that I think about it, I probably change my pail out about once a week, with about 3 diapers per day in it. The only thing to watch for is that after a few days it sometimes stinks when the lid is opened and you push another diaper inside. For me though, the smell goes away after you close it. But all in all, I would definitely give this a try for that purpose, I think it will work.

This outdoor bark control will impact dogs in the immediate area. I have one pup that absolutely was a nervous wreck when I had the bark control outside. The other dogs, not so much, it did not bother. (it was effective for them). The one that was the culprit could care less. So I had to return it because it impacted the dog I did not need to correct. The individual bark collars work for our boys when they get yappy. Now, all we have to do is show the collar & ask if they want to wear it, & they stop barking. Your neighbors dog might cause your guy to become a wreck. It may work, but if it does not impact the perpetrator, it definitely will impact your dog. Don't know how it would work if you set it on the fence nearer the neighbor's barking dog. I think it would still impact your pup.

No I would put it out in the yard because that is where your problem is. Just understand that your dogs will react to it. Also, if you use it outside, you will likely need more than one as you are covering greater area.

If used properly this would no more attract rodents than your regular sewage drain attracts rodents. We have had this in use for over a year with 3 large dogs and creates a "poo station" next to the drain with 6-12x12 pavers where we keep a 5 gallon bucket and the waste scoopers. We also have a spigot that is about 2 feet from the station and we use a 6 foot hose and run it the whole time we are picking up dog waste. The 5 gallon bucket is critical if you don't pick up your waste before it dries up. We put the waste in the bucket and fill with water and let it sit to soften before dumping down the Doo Drain.

Didn't work for us. We were trying to keep our neighbor's dog out of our yard.

This is also very good to walk dogs and pick up after them. The only drawback is that since the poop is going to be "fresh" you will have to be "crafty" to get it all. My dog poops hard, so it's no issue there. I use a large sandwich bag to put it in. I then put the poop in a garbage bin with a lid, in a tall kitchen bag in it and twist tie it so that I can remove it when sanitation comes and not have it smell up the garage (where I keep the bin) ~ so far, no issues. The Poop Patrol saves me from having to bend down all the way and I have a bad back, so it helps.

I would not use it got this purpose. Didn't work to stop my dog from barking. Use an electric dog fence about a foot inside the perimeter of the fence you have now.

I have no doubt that it would work. I suppose a lot depends upon how often you go on "poop" patrol - we have just one dog (approx. wt 22 lbs) and it handles the job perfectly even if I don't get out into the yard for two or three days.

I can see why you would wonder! I gave ours to a charity because our dog never did use it. We waited too late to start her going anywhere but on real grass. I'd write to the company, they seemed helpful when I needed a hint on how to convince my dog to use it, tho nothing worked.

Dear Efrain. it only works wwith bartteries. I do not recommend, because it doesn't perform as announced. The dogs don't stop barking, when they hear the pitch they bark louder.

saw your question before buying this and had to answer. I just wrote a review but for others wondering same thing, just used it when off leash dog came up to my leashed dog and they started fighting, then what was worse was my dogs prong collar malfunctioned and my dog broke loose trying to get to strange dog. This thing stopped them dead in their tracks! I will never leave home with dog and without this thing ever again. Life saver!

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

I used it near my sofa to avoid piss on my sofa legs, so my dog would stay away from the sofa surroundings. It worked, but my dog realised that after the mat was gone, he could get close and piss on my sofa legs again. I solved it placing the mat under my carpet. It is a heavy carpet, but placing it gently over the mat did not set it the alarm on, only when pressed. After the training time, I removed the alarm mat and my dog still was avoiding the sofa surroundings. So I think if your cushions are light, you could do it.

I have done it both ways- with hose and just flushing the toilet. I guess it just depends how much you drop into it and how many times you flush. We have 3 dogs. 1 45lbs, 1 about 16lbs, and one about 8lbs. I usually flush after about a half shovel full of waste and haven't had any problems so far with the toilet backing up. I should add that we are on sewer- not septic

I can't promise anything because I don't know your dogs, but I will relate my experience. When properly installed and operating, this fence charger kept 2 large, strong hogs in their pasture. (They were stubborn too, kept trying it daily! occasionally they ground it out by piling dirt on the bottom wire.) It's got plenty of power for 2 wires, top and bottom of your fence, are they climbers or diggers? Unless your dogs are very motivated to get out, it will keep them in. Train them to the wire first: show it to them, tell them it will hurt them. We put plastic flagging tape on the wire at intervals so they knew where the "ouchy" was located, so they can avoid it. There are websites out there on training dogs about fences, I imagine. I had one dog many years ago that would repeatedly climb over a live electric wire at the top of a 4' fence, howling the whole time, but she was...unusual. in many ways. :-) Get a simple fence checker tool, keep an eye on your wires and keep them free of weeds, sticks or dirt grounding it out, especially if they continue to challenge the fence from time to time. Hope this helps.

Though it sounds gross, bury the dogs' droppings around the landscaped areas. The dogs will not dig there. I have used this method with large and small dogs and it works like a charm--not to mention the added benefit of solving the land mine disposal problem!
