I know this will probably not get to the offenders, but I want to vent some frustration. I do not understand why you cannot pick up after your dog. Are you too lazy..or what ? I have found filled doggie bags laying directly on the ground in plain view, stuffed into the nooks of trees, thrown into the bushes or dog poop not picked up at all. It's your dog and your responsibility to clean up after him. Please do not leave your mess around and spoil it for the rest of us. Most of us are responsible dog owners. Please do your part.

as another responsible dog owner it annoys me as well. if you have a dog, picking up after it comes with the territory!

I have witnessed bad doggie behavior on the courses at Pimlico. I deduce from the behavior at both Saddlebrook and Pimlico that this type of behavior may well be common place on all courses. Unfortunately we do not have any doggie police to patrol. In addition have seen dog walkers use the green patches on the outside wall of CYV and walk away.

Probably too old (or crotchety) to bend over and pick it up ;-). Most people have phones with cameras; I video or snap a pic of people doing dumbs**t things all of the time and threaten to report them; never been wailed on yet.

My way of getting back at people that felt like they had to video me as a Law Enforcement Officer :-).

I noticed an individual in our neighborhood constantly letting his dog go on other peoples property...caught him in the act one day with his dog urinating on my grass (it kills the grass) and I challenged him. He was so shocked and surprised that he was caught that he did not know what to say...and he knew he was doing the irresponsible wrong thing!

Snow birds are back and so are the dog poop threads UGH .... let the complaining begin

[Bonanza]

Unfortunately, the people who don't accept the responsibility of picking up after their dog will never change.

Yes -- perhaps if a photo is taken of them and then posted on that other site, they will be embarrassed into doing the right thing.

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I'm speaking about the two-legged ones!

I believe that's why they closed to Polo fields

[karostay]

Where do pet owners get the notion they can let their pet relive itself on a neighbors lawn or any private property even if they pick it up ?

Never heard that about the polo fields, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Some of the dog owners are arrogant. They know they're not supposed to leave it on the ground, but don't care.

WOW, what a relief I thought all the dogs had stopped pooping in The Villages -haven't heard anything in so long. But I agree dog owners should pick up. Unfortunately these posts do no good but start the war up again.

People shouldn't have dogs if they can't pick up after them!

[Topspinmo]

I see this around all the Rec centers, pools, courts, walking trails, and golf practice area's. IMO villages not very pet friendly, there not enough dog parks through the villages (each village should have pet area IMO) so owner's are forced to walk around public areas I agree most pet owner's do the right.

Each home has a dog park.

We're really gonna do this thread AGAIN?
