How to stop dogs pissing on my bikes!?

[Sniper]

Punji Pit?

OMG...Ive seen that done before when I was a kid. Its awefully mean..but effective. Never forget the poor thing screaming down the road draggin it ass on the grass. Never did see it again

Jeez, I remember my dad telling me that one ... must be 35 years ago now. (Getting the dog to actually stand still while you apply the turps to his arse would be the hard part I guess?)

Altough illegal, I hear gin traps are all that and a bag of chips(it all depends how nasty you're prepared to be )

How about you hire one of those Cheetahs that Auckland Zoo hires out? Be enough to give any dog nightmares. ... (and not want to come back to your place)

Ha! I like that a lot...but, a bottle of turps, some chilli powder and a dash of black pepper along with one of those sprays from the vet should do the trick i reckon. Thanks for all your suggestions folks! Keep em coming. bell

From memory ..catching the bugger was the hardest part. Was a wee dog..foxy type. Poor thing. I think he just tipped it on as apposed to 'painting ' it on. I was 5ish and my folks managed the Thames race course. One of the few things I remember from the place...that and my older brothers getting caught emptying the beers kegs after a meet

Just use Cheetah weez or lion weez...or Zoo doo :P Ohh thats right ...zoo doo to keep possums away from your......rose garden

Get a pillow case, put a glass bottle in it. Smash up the pillow case with a hammer, then throw some mince in. Mix it up, and make some meatballs. Then throw them over the neighhours fence when you go for a jog. That'll stop it pissing on your bike, and probably everything else

Load up a shot gun cartrige with rock salt, and shoot it in the arse. Wont kill the bugger but i bet he wont be back for more.

Similar to the turps one - Shove some fresh ginger up it's arse.

For a more humane approach you could call dog control whenecer it is round aqnd the owners will soon learn to keep the thing tied up

[Biohazard]

I'd hide and wait for them to turn up and then piss on them

Or buy a bigger dog

This is the best thread ever.

I have always found plastic bottles filled with water to be quite effective.
(and the best as its chemical free and costs nothing)

the theory of course that dogs/animals will not tend to poop or piss round a fresh water supply

mowing the lawns smells so much better

Anyone remember a TV gardening show called "Dig this" hosted by a guy called Eion Scarrow? (no, me niether, ahem) He started this whole water bottle hoax on his show for an April fools joke - within a couple of months the whole of NZ was littered with half full water bottles.

I bet he's still laughing.

I saw a dog piss on an electric fence once. I've never seen a dog jump so high or run so fast. Vanished very quickly down the road, japping insanely all the way.

Whats actually needed is to catch the dog, but be aware that many are very cunning. Ive caught 2 dogs in the neighbourhood since I have lived here as they where allways allowed to wonder and make a nuscience of themselves. One needed a slight tune up while in my posession as it was a nasty bastard, however Ive handle dogs similar in the past. I then tied them to the clothes line and called the pound. Basically its my theory that its not the dogs faulth that its a dropkick, but the owner how trained (or neglected) and allowed it to wander. There are some pretty hefty fines in NP for owning a nuscience dog and I know that on both occasions the owner was indeed fined. Through past experience, ignorant dog owners only take notice when they are hit hard where it hurts, in the pocket.
