For the past three days a dog has been pooping on my front landscaping. It is driving me nuts and I want to strangle the owner. Being a typical cop, I have now become obsessed with catching the dog and or owner. I live in a gated community, but my house is near the gate, so I’m sure the owner walks the dog past my house to get outside the gate to the desert near our community. I’m the quiet neighbor who bothers nobody and keeps to myself. It is obviously I have a plain police vehicle in my driveway, so I can’t help to think it is a gutless, cop hating neighbor. 
I have narrowed it down to the evening time, I am up early and drink my coffee by my front window to observe when this is happening. Nothing yet...
This morning was the 3rd day in a row I found dog poop on my place. I had a neighbor walk by me yesterday, walking his dog. He just passed by and I should have asked, but was pre-occupied with my garage. I will ask every dog walker I see from now on. I do not have grass in my front yard, just desert landscaping, I have no problem with confronting the culprit (God help them) when I see them or their dog pooping in my yard, but I am looking for ideas/ways to prevent the dog from visiting my property. I don’t think it a loose dog, they are rare and I would have seen it by now, so I’m certain it is one being walked. I don’t have a problem with animals, ( I actually love dogs) but I do have an issue with the owner.
Does anyone have ideas, or experience in this arena? I have searched the internet and here are some ideas I found:
1. Pepper spay near the area, may deter the dog… (I’ll try that tonight)
2. Orange peels? Okay, kind of different but may work?
3. A bowl of anti-freeze for the dog to consume, slow and painful death. I guess dogs are attracted to the sweet taste. ( Not what I’m looking to do…………………………yet….)
Any ideas???
