       I hugely recommend Inside of a Dog and Being a Dog by Alexandra
       Horowitz, a cognitive scientist and dog lover, about dogs'
       senses - particularly their astonishing sense of smell - and how
       those senses shape dog behaviour. Read either of those and your
       dog's inexplicable /disgusting /  maddening little ways will
       instantly make perfect, reasonable sense!

       knew is was not neighbors on our street, but never saw the
       people with the dogs. I purchased a can of black pepper and
       spread it over the the first three feet of the lawn. Any dog
       sniffing to find a spot to do their business would get a nose
       full of pepper. This solved the problem.

       I didn't use black pepper, I used cayenne (red) pepper and not
       just on dogs. For wild animals too, got a bear to quit trying to
       dig up my dogs grave when I lived in the wilds of Colorado. I
       just buy the cheapest cayenne I could find. I've gotten several
       animals to quit doing something by using cayenne.
       My late FIL's dog kept peeing in one spot on the carpet. He was
       cleaning the spot with bleach, fortunately, he didn't ruin the
       carpet. His dog kept peeing there. I told him to let me fix it.
       I used baking soda to draw the pee out of the carpet, poured
       white vinegar over the spot and used my wet/dry vac to vacuum it
       up, then poured warm water on it several times and vacuumed it
       up. He was STUNNED that his bleach didn't work but my baking
       soda and vinegar did!

       Man, I wish our dogs would choose a specific spot in the yard!
       I'd be happy if each of them had their own spot.  But no.  I
       have to do a complete gridwalk of the yard to find it all.  And
       even then, I miss some.
