what can i put around my garden to deter dogs from using it as a toilet?

Question

I mean around the outside edge, unfortunately can't put a fence, i live abroad so don't have a pet smart shop

Answer 1

For a start, don't use anything containing aniseed or you'll find the problem worsens, since dogs love aniseed. Anything with ammonia in or bleach will deter dogs from doing their business on your garden, only on patios etc of course, as you'll kill plants if you stick that down on soil. Another good one is pepper. Sprinkle loads of it all over. When the dogs come sniffing round, the pepper gets up their sensitive noses and makes them sneeze and splutter. It won't do them any harm, it'll just send them packing.

Answer 2

The ideal way to deter dogs from doing toilet is by spraying the area with anything having a strong odour like a disinfectant or a insect repellent or a cheap deodorant or room spray or pepper spray (scattering the area with pepper powder will also do the trick). Spray the area and especially spots normally being used regularly. U will see the dogs avoiding your garden.

Answer 3

if you sprinkle lots of pepper around the outside of your garden that should definitely help, as it will make the dogs sneeze, just make sure you put plenty on. If not i would suggest to try the water in the bottle thing, I hope this helps. You could always try putting a sign up telling dog owners to keep off the grass?!

You can get a 'scarecrow'sprinkler..I'm sure the brands where you live would be different, but you can find several motion detector sprinklers on line and on eBay...they should be at your garden centers or hardware stores..
Anyway, it is a sprinkler that shoots water for 3-5 seconds each time something moves on your lawn..They work very well.
Also, a running fountain or ground level bird bath will keep them from soiling, as they don't like to contaminate fresh water..
I have heard that blck pepper sprinkled around you borders works to keep dogs out, as if hurts their nose when they sniff it..

Take an old lemonade bottle pull the wrapper off and fill it with water, screw the lid back on and place on the grass. The sun refects off the water and stops animals entering the garden, they don't seem to like the glare it gives off. I lived abroad and loads of people used to do it. It really works :o)

Answer 6

Put a lawn sprinkler in place and turn it on when you see a dog trying to come into the garden. You will soon find that dogs, which are creatures of habit will give up.

Answer 7

Nothing will definitely put other peoples uncontrolled dogs off from using your garden unless you put up a proper physical barrier. Sorry.

Answer 8

Berberis Thunbergii.

Answer 9

I've heard cayenne pepper does the trick, but you can go to Petsmart or some other store like that and get a dog repellent.
