Nope. Not a reasonable request at all, for reasons having to do with the basic nature of dogs. Ain't gonna happen.

The vast majority of the people I meet while walking my dog are friendly and love to see him. They call him to them, they pet him, we have wonderful conversations, and I get to meet my neighbors.

Instead of trying to control everyone else's behavior to meet your personal unwritten standards, I suggest you focus on what YOU can do. Under Florida law, the crime of trespassing requires a posting of private property.

As one of the minority who doesn't want pets on your property, YOU can buy a small sign at any pet department and put it on your lawn. Then I'll cheerfully keep my dog off your property.
