We are in a nice small park district CG up north close to family for a couple of months.  The park is mostly local folks in RVs that rent the same sites every year.  The couple next to us live in their fiver full time and have been parked in the same spot for a few years.   Even though the park has posted rules about cleaning up after your pets and posted rules about dogs being required to be on leashes, these folks next to us simply let their small dog run around outside once a day and crap behind my MH.  At first I just knew there was a small dog leaving me a present every day but I finally happened to be out dumping my black tank and watched the little sneaky dude make his delivery.

I waited until it happened again and called their attention to it.  The male neighbor came over the picked it up but he had to hunt around and find an old Walmart bag to use.  That told me they had never really practiced picking up after their dog.  The next couple of days when I found some "gifts" in the same spot behind my MH I would pick it up and toss it over to their yard.  I had noticed that they mow their own site and liked to walk around barefoot in their grass so I figured that would work.  No such luck.

Found a recipe online (white vinegar and ground pepper) and mixed some up.  I use a spray bottle and every couple of days I spray around my site.  It will probably take me over a month to use a gallon.  So far I haven't found any more yard bombs behind my MH.  Actually when I see other folks walking their dogs they don't seem to wander over to my area at all anymore.

But THEIR little "Baby" is special!

Thank you!!! What is the recipe please? I would love to know!

White vinegar and a little cayenne pepper mixed in.  I just tossed the cayenne into the jug of cheap vinegar then I pour some into my small spray bottle as I need it.  Just watched a overnight RVer walk her two dogs past our site.  Her beagle pulled over by my welcome sign, I'm sure he was thinking it looked like a great spot to tinkle.  His nose came up and he decided he didn't like the grass surrounding my coach for some reason!  Ummm…..smells okay to me.

Wonderful! Thank you very very much.

I wonder if it would keep dogs from jumping on someone if they sprayed it on their clothing?

Maybe , but , do you really want be smelling vinegar all day ? 

there is a safe product called apple bitters. will not , hurt, or stain. but maks dogs stop what they are doing. ( cats included). less problems from the two legged pests ( and there legal liers).this way).

I believe this has been shown to be ineffective however...

the way it is used is how it works, it is more a surprise thing. than a chew toy.

That stuff is supposed to prevent chewing of objects when you're not around.

Had a lady walking her dog. She would lead him over to our spot. Let him do his job, and walk off. I was a nice Neighbor, Took his present back to her in a bag. Left it on her step, without the bag.

I know people have gone crazy over pets. And that's there choice. But I have a choice of not having one. Nor do I care to have one doing there Business around me. As for jumping on me. I'm sorry, but have no issues making sure it does not happen again.

I think that is the absolute best approach.  They can experience what they did to someone else.

I was on my motorcycle when someone in the lane next to me, just ahead of me, tossed out a fast food drink cup.  WTF??  So I moved forward, grabbed it, and shot it into their window.  "Here, you dropped this!"  

I agree..

I have & love my dogs. But God in His wisdom has made some species as food, and their  noise is to help predators locate them quickly.
