the problem is not the poop, most responsible dog lovers take care of pick-up....The problem that we discovered, one dog PEES, next dog answers PEE-mail at same spot, and the next and so on, UNTIL you now have BROWN grass in that spot....Really bottom line, the old golden rule applies here!

So where in TV can a person walk a dog a few miles without offending someone along the way? We do use our own yard whenever possible, but I like to give them some exercise out of doors as recommended by our vet. I avoid dog parks for the reason I stated above, so I am now rethinking my visit here. While I would never let my animals use someone's garden as a toilet, mature trees and grass are kind of unavoidable unless I carry them around. I always pick up, and dispose of my waste at home, or in a proper receptacle out of the way of shops, playgrounds, etc.
Thanks for your honest replies. I understand your views, and don't wish to encounter any animosity amongst neighbors, so I have a lot to think about  |
