Yes, a dog can be trained to relieve itself in designated spots, but it seems that dogs train their owners rather than their owners training them. It would be interesting to find out how many of Villagers have owned pets before or are just now obtaining pets in their twilight years. Like dogs, their owners do not consider it disrespectful or inconsiderate to disregard boundaries.
I've had pets my entire life. Yes we walk them around the yard PRIOR to taking them for a walk, and they often "do their business"...

But quite often, mid walk, they do it again...

I guess you're just better at training your pets than than just about everyone else in the world...
