We have a 4yr. old Binchon that we love to take on walks in the morning and the evening. It's a habit that my husband and I look forward to everyday. This gives us a teasured time to exercise and talk with each other.
I'm confused, where can you walk your dog in the villages? In our Virginia home community, we have a beautifully landscaped piece of neighborhood property across our neigberhood steet where all our neighbors walk their dogs. All the dogs are leashed and everyone uses a bag to pick up he doggie poop, but we all freely let our dogs pee on the landscaping since it is not on anyone's lot.
I can't remember if there is a strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street in the villages. If so, that does not belong to the homeowner. Is everyone saying a dog cannot pee on this strip of land? Is there anywhere in the villages that my husband and I can walk..even without the dog...I mean a beautiful landscaped walking trail? Walking on pavement for half a mile is not good for our joints.
If we walk our dog in the neighborhood will we meet with hostility and suspicion even if he did all his business at home?

I am not currently a dog owner. However, I have a neighbor who has two small dogs. She walks them around her house and yard until they have "done their business" and then a walk around the block. No one is hostile towards her. In fact, she is admired as a responsible dog owner.
