Or maybe you mean build a fence right up to the curb so no dog can come into your yard?
If you allowed fences you would have a checker board of fenced/not fenced yards. And if people start to leave the dogs in the yards you would have a new problem, barking dogs.
I lived in a rental north of 466 for a while. We took the dog for a walk and let him do his business in what we thought was a common area. The second or third time we did this the owner came out and asked us not to let our dog on his property. He was nice about it and said most people thought it was a common area but in fact it was his and he maintained it. I started to pay attention to that corner and felt bad for the guy, he had a problem that will probably never go away.
Unfortunately it's difficult to tell a dog exactly where to do their business. Even when you think they're done they seem to be able to mark some more.
This is not a problem that is unique to TV. Maybe if dog owners were a little more respectful of others property and the property owner were a little more tolerant we could end this thread and move on to something more exiting, like how do I get the birds to stop flying over (and pooping on) my house?
