We were staying at a home in Springdale about 2 years ago and had a similar experience. There was a man in a golf cart who shadowed me around my entire walk with my dog. When my dog eventually did his "business" and I bagged it up, he left. He did this on several occasions while we were there. It made me feel quite uncomfortable, because I wasn't sure why he was following me. It also seemed that almost every house had some kind of nasty picture of dogs defecating with a slash through it prominently displayed. We were also told by another man at the dog park that there were rules set by the Villages about dogs that weren't on the signage and that we had better obey them. When asked what these ambiguous 'rules' were, he huffed out of the park. We've decided we want no part of Springdale or that area and have told real estate agents that we will not even look in that area for a house. It has to be the most unpleasant week I've ever stayed at TV.
