Hi guys, I have a neighbour a few doors down, and every morning he lets the dog out of his front yard to take a shit on the nature strip. Often I go to my car and there is a steaming pile of shit, right in front of my house. Sometimes the dog shits on the sidewalk also, and the neighbour literally does nothing about it. Sometimes he just leaves the gate open and let's the dog walk in when it wants, sometimes he watches it. Here in lies the problem. I've never actually seen the dog shit on the lawn. I've seen him and the dog on the front strip and come home to a pile of shit, or woken up to a pile of shit. One thing is certain, he never cleans the shit up. The guy is a complete misery guts and at best grunts hello in the morning, in response. I live in the stonnington area in Melbourne, what is my recourse?

Try googling responsible pet ownership, or responsibilities of pet owners for your council area. See what it says owners are supposed to do regarding leaving crap everywhere. (Pretty sure they are supposed to clean up)
Once you establish there are breaches. Have a polite chat with council. Ask them who handles pets and difficult owners.
See where that takes you.
If anyone wants to know.
Said shit 7 times in opening thread.
Complain to the council mate. if you catch it in the act get a video or a photo. or if council dont do anything you can give the guy a nice christmas poo delivered to his doorstep. make sure the guy is not in a bikie gang though lol.
