Sprinkling it around the trash can might discourage them, but results can vary among individual dogs. It's important to ensure that the pepper is used safely and that dogs don't have access to consume large amounts, as it can cause gastrointestinal upset. For more effective long-term solutions, consider using pet-proof trash cans or training to prevent scavenging behavior.

Marigolds worked well to keep the dogs from eliminating on our front yard. We put a row next to the sidewalk and the dogs actually walked past our place faster than before the marigolds were planted.

Yes, but it might not work. For dogs, try using vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the perimeter and between the rows and no more unwanted visitors. Their sense of smell is too sensitive and they will vacate the area. Repeat after rains as necessary. For cats, they should only mess with your plants if they need to, either there is something in the plant that they need and you are not giving them, or if they are trapped inside and starving. But if you really want to keep cats away, try spraying ammonia on the plant. This might attract the dogs though. Cats avoid their own urine.
