Dog problem
The next door dog keeps coming into our garden and pooing in the garden. We can't afford to put a high fence up all along the boundary. The neighbours are friendly and we do not want to complain. Is there any way of stopping the dog pooing in our garden?

You could do what me grandfather did - get a small shuffle an flick it back into there gardern in the wee small hours. If they notice, they might get the hint. If not, it should've been there anyway.
Or you could also try finding out when it comes out to do it's business and make a big noise when it does..
No easy answer, we have the same problem with a local farmers dog.
As a last resort, get a really big cork......
It does deter dogs and cats.You have to reapply after rain and it could work out expensive if you have a long boundary.
I would have a word with the neighbour though.It's not acceptable for them to allow their dog to do this.I would suggest to them that they come and clear it up.Please or offend!!
You can buy an electronic system that emits a high pitched sound that will keep the dog away....
or as a cheap alternative, try filling up an old plastic lemonade or coke bottle (the large 1 or 2 litre ones) and leaving it in the garden. Apparently this scares dogs away, but I have no idea why. Old orange peel sprinkled around (or water boiled with orange peel) keeps cats away.
To be fair to the neighbours they do try to stop the dog getting in to our garden by bordering up the gaps in the hedge, but the dog always finds a way in. The dog can get in just by jumping over the front garden wall. If I put a high gate up in the passage between the front and the back garden it will make it a lot harder for the dog to get in.
I think it would help a lot if I got one of those electronic systems that qtaran 111 mentioned.
