Whether you like it or not, when you are not on home turf, you are the Alpha and are in charge. If you can't or won't rein in your wandering friend, you are the problem. Plain and simple. Dogs get only as much freedom as the owner allows. It ain't that hard to understand and even a child can do it. Dogs can be trained! I have never seen a seeing eye dog pee or poop on the neighbors law. Maybe they are focused on something. What could it be.

You should go to some of the Villages' dog parks and see just how trainable these fur babies really are. And some of the dog owners are far more untrainable than their dogs and will do pretty much whatever they want no matter how much you scold them.
