    Is there any way to prevent dogs from entering a garden? Anything they do not like but won't harm them?

    Neighours dogs are ******** all over garden. Do not want to harm them at all and the owner should keep them in but fed up of stepping in dog muck

    Stick a copy of the Control of Dogs Act in their letterbox.
    No seriously it is against the law and downright silly to let dogs out like that. Have a word with them but if for any reason you can't / don't want to you could have a word with the local warden and get him / her to call out to chat to them.

    Can you speak to your neighbours about keeping them under control? Or the local dog warden?

    I've used a product called "stay off" in the past. It's pepper based and causes the dogs to sneeze. Harmless,
    Other ideas I've heard of but not tried, "mark" the area yourself :eek:

    No only joking,

    Stay off works,

    A private request to the dog warden will 100% guarantee that the dogs are kept under control on their own property. The Warden keeps it confidential and will pursue the matter if they don't conform. The deterrant sprays etc do not work long term - I tried them all a few years back.

    Yes you would and you'd also have to reapply it after every downpour, could work out very, very expensive:eek:

    And it doesn't work all that well anyway;)
