I have a dog. We take him to the dog park almost daily. Otherwise, he does his business in our yard or in a common area - not in or even near someone's yard. I don't want to possibly walk barefoot or have my grandchildren play in my front yard right after your dog pees or does his business there - even if you "pick it up". It's my property and if I don't want you or your dog in my front yard, that is my right.
I live on a corner lot and I'm appalled at the audacity of those that have retractable leashes and the dogs are literally up in my driveway and my yard. Also, I'm so tired of picking up the poo and cigarette butts that some neighbor leaves nightly on the corner common area beside my home.
People need to respect that others can own and love pets, but it doesn't mean our yards are for there for your convenience.
