I don't understand why pet owners can't let their dogs relieve themselves on their own property THEN take them to the postal station or where ever they want to go for a walk and get exercise.

We don't have a dog now but were dog owners for 32 years (2 different dogs). I never, ever took my dogs out anywhere to relieve themselves other than the potty area on our property. I walked them on their leashes to an area I prepared for them. This area was surrounded by bricks or pavers and I put soft shredded mulch in the area. This was super comfortable for their paws. I replenished the mulch to maintain a nice potty area for them

When we took walks, I always carried a bag to pick up after them. I never knew when the urge would strike them even after they had pooped in their prepared potty area on our own property. That rarely happened but at least, I was prepared. Marking their spot with urine, however, always happened on the walks. Male dogs!
