Get Off or other dog repellents

[Mrs Pingu]

Something (I'm assuming a dog, though could be wrong) is leaving great horrible piles of shit in the middle of our front garden (on chuckies), twice in the same place so far. Pingu managed to walk right through it and push his bike through it as well today

Anyone any experience of those dog repellent pellets such as Get Off etc? Do they work?

Get Off works so long as you clean up the area and re-apply frequently. I don't have any experience of other brands.

Could well be a fox - they'll be eating a lot of windfall fruit at this time of year and getting the runs  ...

We had a similar problem which turned out to be a territorial cat.
