You spend lots of time taking care of your garden, and when your dog poops in it, it can be annoying. Dogs poop in your yard for many reasons, such as it might be because of discomfort or separation anxiety. But the good news is you can prevent dogs from pooping in your yard by following some simple tips. So, do you want to know how to keep dogs from pooping in your yard? If yes, then this article is for you. 

8 Simple Tips To Keep Dogs from Pooping in Your Yard 

The best way is to use decorative fencing and erect a barricade. But you can also try the following solutions. 

1. Remove Temptations

Sometimes there are temptations in your garden that attract dogs in. For example, there might be food and water for dogs in the yard. Moreover, there might be trash cans in the yard. Some yards have small animals like rodents that attract dogs. 

When dogs go there, they do their business as well. Therefore, if you want to keep dogs from pooping in the yard, ensure that you remove all these temptations. Keep the lids of the trash can closed and don’t place food in the yard.

2. Use Dog-Repelling Scents 

Dogs’ smelling sense is more powerful than humans. But you can use their sensitive noses to your advantage. Use dog-repelling scents in the yard. When the yard smells unpleasant to them, they’ll avoid going there. 

Some strong dog-repellent scents are garlic, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, chili powder, rue plants, and citrus juices. Ensure that you spread any of these substances in the yard so that dogs stay away from pooping in your yard. 

Remember, most of these substances are toxic so ensure that you’re aware of where you place or spread them. Our goal is to keep them away from the yard, but they shouldn’t eat them. 

3. A Barrier Is Always the Best Option

It might be an expensive option but building a tall fence around the yard is the best and most effective way to protect your yard from neighbor’s dogs and yours. Dogs can squeeze through gaps easily. So make sure that the fence doesn’t have large gaps. 

The drawback of this option is that people don’t like to fence around their beautiful yard. In this case, you can look for dog-proof plants and shrubs. Another best approach is to place something on the ground that your dogs don’t like walking on. Sharp gravel hurts the pads of a dog’s feet, and it can help your dogs stay away from the yard. 

4. Install Lawn Sprinklers 

You’ll not have to do anything after installing these in your yard. Whenever your dog steps in your yard, it will sprinkle water, and this sprinkle can scare them off. The good news is it will not hurt your dogs. 

These motion-activated sprinklers are easy to set up and use. Connect them to the garden hose and stake them into the ground. They work like motion-detecting lights. When sprinkles surprise them a few times, they’ll learn that they shouldn’t go there to do their business.

5. Train Your Dogs to Use a Poop-Zone

If you want to know how to keep dogs from pooping in your yard, then try this tip. It will protect your dogs from using your lawn as a toilet. Train dogs to use a designated area for pooping instead of doing it in the middle of the lawn. 

You can create a poop-zone by using sand to encourage dogs to use that area. If any feces are lying in the yard, ensure that you remove them. Otherwise, the dog will consider it a good place to do their business. 

The best way is to use positive reinforcement to train your dogs. Praise them and reward them whenever they do their business in the designated area. Negative reinforcement can scare your dog. 

6. Invest in Ultrasonic Repelling Device

Ultrasonic-repelling devices are similar to high-pitched whistles that are used for dog training. Humans can’t listen to it, but it can make the wildlife crazy. These devices can ensure that your dogs stay away from your yard. 

Like sprinklers, these ultrasonic-repelling devices will not cause any damage to your dogs. Before purchasing this type of device, ensure that you consider these features. 

  • It’s motion-activated
  • Designed to work best on dogs
  • The device is intended for outdoor use
  • The device is stationary and not handheld
  • It should be large enough to cover your yard

So, investing in an ultrasonic repellent device can keep dogs from pooping in your yard. 

7. Place Bottles of Water

It might seem simple, but it’s the most effective solution. Fill these bottles with soda water and place them in sunlight around the edge of your yard. If you don’t have water bottles, shallow containers with water can also do the job for you. 

Now, you might be thinking, why will water repel dogs? People are not sure about it, but the truth is dogs avoid doing their business close to water. So, it will definitely work. 

8. Try Homemade Solutions

There are many things already available in the home, like vinegar, chili powder, and ammonia. Dogs will refuse to go there when you spray vinegar in the yard. Moreover, you can also sprinkle chili powder in the area where your dogs do their business to discourage them. Finally, clean the area with bleach so that dogs don’t go there again. 

Wrap-Up 

How to Keep Dogs from Pooping in Your Yard? We have discussed some useful tips for stopping your dogs from pooping in the yard. You can purchase some products, or you can use some homemade products.

Moreover, water bottles can also help keep your dogs away from pooping in the yard. Finally, you can train your dogs or create a poo-zone in the yard to avoid the mess in your lawn. Before using any product, ensure that products are safe for dogs and will not cause any damage.
