just wondered what other residents think in regard to careless dog owners who allow their pets to run up onto other's lawns, relieve themselves (urine), and on occasion poop and the owners do not pick it up.
we have several 'public areas' on our street (the entrys to villa neighborhoods, which are landscaped and have signs and fences) and the dog owners think that these areas are public toilets for their pooches.
the retractable leashes allow the walker to stay in the street while the dog can go all the way up to the front door and and do their business. really! this is my yard and what are you doing on it? and dog urine can burn patches into the lawn? and what happens when i step into your dog poop? c'mon, give me a break.
if you have discovered a solution to this problem i would love to hear about it. there are only 2 dog parks in all of the villages. seems to me that is so inadequate.
thank you for allowing me to vent.
