What are the legal aspects of this in regards to dog containment. My neighbor has no fenced yard and on occasions he has let his dog crap on my yard and im sick of it. The dog also pisses in my bushes. Ive tried to talk to him about it but he told me ive got problems, if thats all im worried about. I've also seen his dog(Irish Setter) without a leash running around the yard, and wandering in my yard. Can the police do anything or is it a waste of my time to notify them? What legally can I do? Thank you

Dogs are usually a local council matter report the owner to them and see what happens

call the animal control officer and have him trap the dog on your property and take it to the pound. The neighbor will have to pay to get him back and, depending upon you local ordinances, could be cited for allowing his dog to run at large.

see if you can catch the dog in a trap of some kind then call animal control and let them explain the laws to him after he pays the fine to get his dog released to him ill bet he will use a leash after that. most towns have a leash law and fines to enforce it

Try to reason with your neighbor first,then call the police and see if they can do anyything for you. If not, they may be able to recommend the proper agency for you to get some action on this matter.
