The Villages covenants allow two domestic pets per household. Yet they initially made no provisions for a place to walk the thousands of residents' dogs. Big mistake in my humble opinion! And destined to make for some bad neighbour situations.

Personally, I take my two dogs daily to a private dog park and never walk them on neighbours' properties. But not everyone is able to do this. And dogs do have to be walked.

The Villages is now slowly building dog parks, one in Historical and one by Mulberry. Hopefully they will be providing more. This should hopefully help improve the situation.
