Yard Signs Help Minimize Unwanted Dog Droppings

Do you have a neighbor who constantly allows their dog to run free, poop in your yard and never bothers to pick it up? Maybe you live on a corner lot and find land mines in your yard from the many dogs being walked through your neighborhood. Regardless of the cause, it is very frustrating to have to pick up dog poop from dogs that don’t belong to you.

In a perfect world, people would be considerate of your property and curb their dogs, keep them off of your property all together, or at the least, scoop up their dog’s poop. Unfortunately, that perfect world doesn’t exist and often you have the burden of picking up other peoples’ dog poop.

Many dog owners, particularly apartment dwellers, just don’t seem to understand the frustration these unwanted gifts bring to the home owner. Dog poop can ruin lawns, and become unexpected messes for kids playing in the yard.

Some people get so frustrated they resort to throwing the dog poop back on the neighbor’s yard, or use various tactics to keep dogs from using their lush lawn as a toilet. Sometimes, the best approach can be simple and direct.

If you are at wit’s end on how to deal with your yard being the neighborhood dog potty, try appealing to the dog owner directly by placing a sign in your yard. There are a variety of yard signs available. Some simple and straight forward, others with a little humor to get the dog owner’s attention and make them laugh, and think.

Putting up a No Dog Pooping sign, or Keep Dog Off Lawn sign allows you address the issue directly with people walking their dogs without having to confront them. Most people are aware enough that if you have a sign in your yard they will take notice and keep their dog away.

No pooping signs will also get the attention of neighbors who seem to have a problem keeping their dogs in their own yard. It wont’ work with everyone, but it makes those around you aware that you care about your yard and don’t appreciate negligence on the part of dog owners.

Simple yard signs that say No Pooping or No Dog Pooping are very direct. But maybe you are more pet friendly and would prefer a Curb Your Dog sign, or even a Pick Up After Your Dog sign.
