Unfortunately our neighbor chooses to walk his dog on others lawns! Yes he pics up the poop but that dies not mean some residue is left not to mention what his dogs pee may do to anothers yard. We have stared and that did nothing. We really want to get along with ALL our neighbors but this has created a lot of animosity. Why don't people realize this isn't common area that their dog is pooping and urinating on a private lawn ? Thanks to Marion county we cannot put up one of those cute little signs that shows no doggie business on our lawn....(a little tidbit we were not told of when we bought). How do you nicely let someone who is obviously oblivious to others property that you would like them to not walk their dog on our lawn. Any ideas people? Still love TV and 99% of my neighbors  |
I'll take a shot. Why not engage this person in a conversation that goes something like this............. I have seen you walking your dog, and it seems very sweet and well behaved. I also own a couple of dogs, and I noticed something early on. The neighbors didn't like my dogs doing their business in their yards, and as I thought about it, they were right. I have only allowed my dogs to go in my yard since then and it has kept my neighbors happy and with little inconvenience to me or my dogs. Probably no one has confronted you about this, but beleive me, there are likely several neighbors who feel you are persona non grata because of this. I am telling you this because I have found you to be a reasonable and respectful person, and would assume you did not want hard feelings with your neighbors.
