[QUOTE=OrangeBlossomBaby;1721742]The problem with peeing in the street is that it has no place to "go" and will bake into the concrete, creating a stench and potentially corroding the road (depending on how many dogs pee in the same spot or how many times one dog pees in the same spot).
On rainy days this is a non-issue. But when it's not raining - it can become an issue.
Dog owners can buy neutralizer granules to sprinkle on their pooch's puddle, to reduce the smell and risk of corrosion to the surface.
But considering that there are no sidewalks in most of the residential (all of them? I don't know) areas of the Villages, and that people have to run on those roadsides, I'd say that the potential for a health risk is more important than the potential for a yellow spot on your lawn.
I'm not too concerned about the yellow spot (it bugs me but it's not a big deal). I'm much more concerned about what I'm tracking into the house after going for a walk.[/
What are you feeding your dog that would cause its urine to corrode the road?? Diesel fuel or gas would ruin the pavement, not urine.
