I moved here because I felt it is a dog friendly community. Any suggestions? For the record, my lawn is as green and healthy as anyone's. Her pee has not caused any markings. Also, I ALWAYS have bags in my pocket in case she poops. I have even picked up other dog poop that I come across in our travels.
You have a leash, the dog is on the end of it. Use the lead to control the dog from being able to trespass onto private property or are you talking about her going on allowable sites, few as they are? The dog can't mark something she isn't standing on so don't let her walk where you don't want her to pee.
