Sadly, things are not going well. I've tried red pepper powder once, crushed Thai chili powder once, and a herb tea type mix of vinegar and chili twice. After all that, get this, this morning there was a huge puddle of pee at the corner of the step. Plus, the French guys from the shop across the street were laughing and saying, "The American's going to be angry". They obviously think that I'm kinda strange. I feel like chili powdering them too.
I guess I'm going to have to sit out front on a folding chair holding a double barrel shotgun like some redneck protecting his daughter and blast away.
An American in the stinky French capital.

First clean area very well using bleach or ammonia...helps to elimanate pheromones from dog urine. Secondly if possible hang small bags of moth balls around bannister or railing, and as a last ditch effort, go to a pet stop and buy a spray called Repel...but it must be applied frequently. Frequent washing of the area with strong disinfectants will help (I believe Dettol is the UK brand...or Lysol in America) but a carbolic solution will also discourage them....and it is perfectly alright to pepper-spray French...I believe a UN regulation or the World Court decided that some half-wits were outside humanity.

Scrub step with a solution of Jeyes fluid, diluted. Hard garden broom should do the job. Dogs hate the smell of Jeyes

- Try citrus spray (Anti-mate is sprayed on bitches to keep dogs away; but you can get cheap citrus-scented cleaning products.)
- Set up a laser beam, so that when the beam is broken it makes a noise to scare the animal off!

they are marking over other dogs scents. its totally normal. some zoos sell tiger and loins ****. i have heard that dogs as well as cats don't like to go near it? if your near a zoo, why not ask for a bit. cant get any worse. pop it in a pot close to the step?

I would recommend rubbing the dog's nose in it before beating it roundly with a rolled up newspaper.

to get rid of the smell jeyes fluid works a treat, may also put them off peeing there too as its very strong smelling disinfectant

Instead of a shotgun, try a bb gun or an air gun. Won't kill the dog, but will teach it a painful lesson.

Strong bleach seems to do the trick

Chemicals seldom works.
Domestic animals,like their wild counterparts,are terretorial animals, and mark / "scent" their domain.
The unconventional way :- You spray YOUR URINE in the area - (before any drugs / alcohol )...... NO JOKE .....!!!!!!!!
