OK - here goes:
If you have a dog(s) and you walk it outside to do its business, do you let that business happen on private property? In other words do you let your dog do its thing on another person's lawn? Even assuming you pick everything up do you feel that you have some sort of built in right to walk onto another person's property and urinate and defecate on THEIR lawn? This question came up because some people were adamant that golf balls hit onto a home's property should not be looked for or picked up (obviously not hit from) since the ball should be considered out of bounds.
Just curious what most pet owners allow for their dog's bathroom habit. I don't own one so I'd like to know how you go about accomplishing the daily habit.

Our dog usually either goes in our yard or thereabouts, at the private dog park called Doggie Doo Run Run, at the postal center, or sometimes in yards when I walk him late at night. I carry a flashlight and plenty of plastic bags for his poop and since he is a male dog he has to mark his territory with dribbles every ten feet or so. He usually will pee wherever other dogs have gone and does only small amounts because he has a lot of territory to mark.
Not sure why so many TOTVers make such a big thing about dog poop and pee? I find this not much of an issue in the neighborhood I am in. I have heard of people at the dog park who have had problems when their dogs doing their business on other people's yards but with so many homes with no fences, it is quite hard if next to impossible to make sure that no poop or pee gets on other people's yards.
