Dog Piss

I accidentally hit a cat crossing the road once. heard the thud as its head hit the front of my lowered vw. Cat flew so far so fast I couldnt see where it landed. never forgot that sound. wouldnt ever aim for one on the road. but if it pissed on my motorcycle i might drop it off a bridge and watch it superman all the way to the ground :)
 
Denise :love I found that just straight bleach does the job. Maybe really saturate the leg with pure bleach then follow up with some lemon or orange oil afterwards.

The cruelty comes from letting the dogs run rampant and pee all over people's belongings. A lot of trainers use shock collars as a means of training. Yes it zaps the dog but at the same time I'm not out there 24/7 to guard the bike against the offender. Dog urine is acidic-I already have to replace the chain at 5K miles because it sat for 3 weeks encrusted with dog piss. My wheels are permanently blackened from dog piss.

Frankly what really pisses me off are the folks that somehow think this is my fault. You know, for parking my bike in my assigned spot that comes with the rent I pay for where I live. I guess my rent includes shit and piss too.
 
FWIW, I had cat problems on my boat and vegetable garden. I don't want to harm animals, but I'm not going to take their shit or that of their negligent owner's either, so here's what I did...

My boat is covered in a pay spot in a harbor. Yard cats figured it for a great place to hang out, cough up hairballs and fight, not to mention spray. This was awful when I went in the early am to hook up for a day of salmon fishing, so I tried to close it up 100%, but that was a fool's errand and didn't work.

My vegetable garden was festooned with cat shit - not good. I fertilize my own garden with more traditional products w/o the benefit of parasites and plan on keeping it that way, it's food after all.

One day it hit me - mouse traps! Set 'em all around. No bait, just a set trap - or dozens. They go off when the cats mess with them and the violent snap and flip of the trap scares the crap out of 'em. Keep doing it and eventually the cats seek other, less stressful areas of plunder.

Never harmed a cat, made them move out of both locations.

I don't know if it would work for you, just sayin...

ps - no cats were harmed, so don't get all misty about the cats.
 
The issue is with the owner not the dog. Michael Reardon was a rad, free soloing rock climber who returned from a climb to find his day pack torn apart, bits of his scattered lunch and pissed on hiking shoes. The culprit was laying next to his masters day pack. The dogs owner happened to return to this scene; Micheal eating the owners sandwich, tool in hand pissing on the owners shoes. Don't take it out on the mutt, his master needs to be held accountable.
 
I have the same issue with my car....piss all over the car cover.

The dog owners don't give a shit.

I have proof they don't give a shit either....they said it.
 
As far as cleaning up the smell, this stuff is AMAZING!

I had a problem with a cat (yes it was my cat) that was using my living room carpets for his liter box. It was a NASTY mess for months. I bought a few bottles of that stuff and it's all gone except the stain. But the carpet needs to be replaced anyway and I honestly can't tell you just how long this cat was pissing there. And this stuff does remove it well enough that they don't smell it to use it again. :)

As far as keeping the dog away, any kind of hot pepper power will work. The hotter the better. The mouse traps MIGHT work on a dog. That scat mat someone posted earlier would be a good idea too if you can find an outlet close enough. But honestly the last time I had a problem with a neighbor's pet doing things on MY property I started live traps. Granted that didn't make my any friends but I got tired of walking on cat shit every time I stepped outside.

Pepper = Fail
tried it.Bleach is pretty awesome and I'm going to try the mouse traps.
I think some buckshot to the owner would help.

Thanks for the oder remover tip my neighbor's boat got sprayed by cat so we're going to give that a try.
 
Intentionally causing harm to a dog pretty much guarantees that you're going to go to hell. I don't give a crap if he's pissing on your bike or eating your shoes. You're wrong if you try and hurt a dog that isn't trying to hurt you.

Here are my suggestions:

Buy some decorative fencing thats about a foot tall and links together. You can easily surround your bike with it when you're not ridding it. Should cost less than 20 bucks.

Set up a video camera and capture the dog in the act more than once. If you are able to determine the owner of the dog from the video take it to the owner and show them. Allow them to correct it. if they don't, sue them in small claims court. You will win.

Park in a different spot and see if the behavior moves.

Live with it. It's a dog. Dog's don't piss on peoples bikes to make them mad. They do it because they are either trained to or something is attracting them to that spot. Trying to "get even" with the dog is a rediculous mind game you're playing with yourself. Tyring to "get even" with the owner by hurting the dog isn't going to hurt the owner. It's going to hurt the dog.

I like the idea of having a ton of mousetraps laid around the bike, only problem is going to be getting back on the bike when you need to take a spin.

Very few are offering suggestions intended to harm the dog for the sole purpose of harming the dog. But, just for the record, how do you train a dog? Sometimes you have to use something that "gets it attention" like a shock collar. There is mild harm involved in that are you saying that someone like Cesar Millan has a special place in hell because he used one on a dog to stop it from biting rolling tires?

When it isn't your dog you aren't necessarily it's dominant and when the owner doesn't do their job you sometimes have to use "uncomfortable" methods to change a behavior. Particularly when you aren't around to actually observe the behavior and step in.

P.S. Not only do I love dogs, I happen to be an animal person period.

I dunno but compared to all of the people who pissed in doorways, on cars, in gardens and on my bike in San Francisco this sounds like it can be dealt with in a humane manner which will benefit both the bike and the rider. Good luck Gwynne!

There is a big difference between a shock collar that Cesar uses on VERY RARE occasions and something gerry rigged to shock a dog when it urinates. Cesar uses the Shock Collar to re-inforce a message that he is delivering at the time it's being used.

I'm sure someone with an electrical background could also argue the difference between the Shock Collar and what it would take to deliver a shock via urination.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you're trying to change a animals behavior there are a lot of things you can do that dont require hurting the animal. Especially when you arent there to reinforce any kind of message you're trying to send. If you shock the dog when it urinates it's not going to know why it's happening or that its bad. It's just going to know if it pees that it hurts and that might just make the dog MORE screwed up.
 
DOGS ARE NOT HUMANS. So quit assuming they should act like them.

Actually, if you only shock the dog when he urinates in one particular place, it just might have the desired effect.

Or the dog is too stupid to be of much use to it's gene pool anyways, I sure as hell don't want to inherit the genes of someone who can't learn to not get his dick shocked, no matter what species I am.

Good luck HH! I hope the piddling pooch perceives his poor placement and pauses pissing.
 
Is there a faucet that you could run a hose from? They make those motion-activated sprinklers that you could place near your bike.
