The dogs think that they are fertilizing the grass for the neighbors.... Suizo is also right..... With 44 acres in N.C. my dog never needed a leash or a poop scooper... But in Medellin the leash is necessary (between the crazy unfixed dogs and the crazy unfixed drivers) and those grocery store bags come in really handy for picking up after Cody.....

It is typical in Colombia that people, when pushed to their limits, take the law into their own hands and thus the poison.
Barking dogs is another one; are dog owners deaf? Or deaf to their own dogs racket anyway?

Kenb, Dog owners deaf ??? I think alot of the people here are deaf... They YELL from the street up to the 5th floor balconies to converse with their friends.... I finally got the message across to my neighbors that horn blowing after 10pm will result in an air horn blast in their car window... The neighbors passed the word quickly...

They should put the signs in German, everyone knows that dogs don't speak Spanish. German is the language of animals that chase motorbikes and run into closed patio doors.

There are lots of laws that should protect people against irresponsible dog owners and bad neighbourly habits.
For repeated offences, it is best to phone the inspection department of La Alcaldia-part of the environmental protection department. Persistence by the recipient of the problems, like a call every few days, can achieve the impossible!

Although poisoning your lawn is a little excessive but anyone who owns a house with a lawn knows that some people thinks it's okay to crap on your lawn and not pick it up. My guess is that the person who poisoned the lawn got tired of picking up someone else dogshit. It use to happen to my lawn also until I let my dog out. A pitbill always cures the problem.

True that there are a lot of dog owners (and walkers) that pick up the poop in Bogota, but why do they leave the bags along the sidewalk (usually next to a tree or just in the grass area) instead of actually throwing it away? The sidewalk in front of my house had bags of poop for days before somebody (garbage people?) picked it up. Topic of conversation for the kids whenever we walk the dog - "Who picks up those bags?" Poisoning? Terrible. I wouldn't let my dog off of a leash though.

I don't think it is nice to punish the dogs either. I just throw the shit over the fence into the neighbors yard. Their dog is the primary offender. In my area they animals are required to be vaccinated and registered and are not legally allowed to roam free. NOte: the neighbors dog is a primary offender. I have also deposited the shit at their front door.

They had the nerve to call the law on me! I just pointed out to the officer that according to the parish code I am legally entitled to the right to shoot a threatening animal that is on my property. And that I felt that a pair of pitbulls running free when my daughter is outside playing fits my definition of threatening.

I then asked the neighbor if they wanted to risk their pets life with the statement that it wasn't their dog???

They backed off.
