Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well, I'm probibly going to piss a few people off with my advise, but here goes anyway: I had the problem somewhat to what you have. Here in the Salt Lake City/Ogden areas the " Dog Catchers " SAY they're on the ball but aren't so I went down to the local sporting goods store and spant ten bucks on a small hand-held propane powered air horn (like you use at a ball game). The dog's in the yard, I open door, the dog see's me, doesn't flinch. I make like I'm running after it, taking 4-5 steps towards it, cut loose with the air horn. It took about 3 times per dog. Now, no more dogs in my yard. I THINK they got the picture. And the idea of hot pepers along the yard perimiter works well. I did that after the horn. Oh, several neighbors saw what I was doing and asked where I got the horn & now they've started doing it too.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks for taking the time to respond. I like the horn technique but out for me because these dogs are let out of the their house early in the morning while I am still asleep. I am looking for something that I can spray on my front yard that will not harm my lawn. Thanks again.
