We do most of the same things you do with our medium size dog. But sometimes we walk her in the neighborhood. We keep her on the street and/or sidewalk (temperature permitting of course) until we get to an appropriate place to let her do her business. Then we pick it up and go on our way. Of course picking up is an important part of the process, or it still wouldn't be appropriate. |
I hope your neighborhood differs from mine, where few observe the sanctity of neighboring properties. My comments come both from observing n eighbors and also from the poop posts on totv over two years duration.
Many think their dogs should absolutely always be allowed in neighboring yards. Many vehemenTly object to that, some sneak and try to deny where the dog went. My opinion is that, at least in my neighborhood, few dog owners have sufficient control to say where and when the dog may toilet.
I had a neighbor whose dog he habitually toileted in my yard and after his landscaping was done, posted a sign "no pooping" in his own yard.
