Any advice on how to stop a dog pissing on my lawn and driveway? Someone on the lane let's their dog walk way ahead of them and their dog at least once a day pees on the top of my driveway or on the lawn or the bark. Tonight, it's came right down the driveway and pissed on my front door so ive reached my limit. It's driving me insane as I have young ones who love helping me garden, yes theyre gloved 90% of the time but still. I've put vinegar down as read that can do the job but any advice is appreciated. Crapbag wont let me pull her, says its petty 🙄
Do you mean pull the owner up on it? Absolutely do so. Most people would be mortified if they twigged what their dog was doing. Just ask her to keep her dog off your land. You're perfectly entitled to.

let us know how you get on. I know it works for cats.

Olbas oil is cheap, less than a fiver and widely available, just save your used teabags

Will do! The vinegar didnt work, just saw it on the camera an hour ago having a wizz but frustratingly, it was on the lead and she allowed it. If I thought one of them would cooperate id take one of the goats to her house and let it pee everywhere

Just have a chat with her. It never occurs to me that my dogs can’t pee on a bit of grass.

I have second guessed this a lot but I just think it's rude allowing an animal to pee and poo on someone's land - the pee kills the grass too. I'm patient and understanding to the fact it cant be prevented sometimes but this has been happening at least once a day for months. The poo yesterday has tipped me over the edge. I am very house proud but we've put blood, sweat and tears into this reno. I am going to have a friendly chat with her about it and test the lion poo which has really intrigued me!

I’m pretty sure the lion poo only works for cats. Dogs are not deterred by other animals’ poo! Honestly just have a word with the owner. I personally think it’s rude to allow your dog to enter someone else’s property, let alone do its business there, but she might well be oblivious.

Also your grass will be fine. My dog wees in the same places in the garden and has done for years. No issues with the lawn.

I think it depends on the sex of the 'dog' as to if it damages the grass or not.

We have had neutered female and a unneutered male who is now neutered and they have all killed my parents grass my dad just waters the grass where they go to stop it dying. My grass seems fine with the un/neutered male going on it though

Someone near me has a sign on their drive saying "No dog fowling" and apart from the typo - I have chickens and I don't want dogs anywhere near them - it works. I would go for that option rather than expensive lion poo.
 
Have you considered getting an actual lion for your garden? That would almost certainly deter any dogs.
