This thread has been very helpful in understanding the differing expectations we Villagers hold on the issue.
There has been no discussion of liability. I'm going to propose a highly improbable situation to provoke thought as I would like to understand the implications of our actions:
The pool guy leaves the lanai door open to bring in equipment, the dog gets out just as a golfer takes 3 steps onto the property to get his ball. The dog barks aggressively, the golfer holds his club defensively at the dog and steps backward, tripping over the curl of a water hose and hits his head on the new landscape stones. The golfer requires medical treatment for a concussion.
This thread has been entirely respectful and strong opinions given without slamming. Please continue....how do you view any issues of liability?
If a poster is credentialed in law it would help to know that.
