Bones...I'm a walker with my dogs
and also carry bags and attempt to curb them as often as possible.
Perhaps you could make a small sign that says No dogs, please. That
would certainly get attention, mine for sure. Or make a small sign with a
photo of a dog and put a red line through it.
Most responsible dog owners do their best to have their dog urinate not on someone else's lawn, however, it can happen. I carry a small bottle of water with a spray attachment, if mine "go", I first pick it up and then spray water on the area, if they pee, I do the same thing in an attempt to dillute the urine.
Your post is a good reminder to all of us with dogs to try and do the
right thing. In areas where there are no curbs or sidewalks, it is
very difficult indeed. But the vast majority of those of us with dogs
really do our very best to curb the dog, and many have trained their dogs
to "go" in the home yard before setting out on a walk. I'm sorry you are
having this issue.
