Russ thanks for the topic tho it's been out there many time before, as a newbie I learned that many dog people don't know how to control their dog's location. Worse, many don't care where the dog chooses to go.
I already knew that a lot of us are responsible, respectful and aware that the world is not our dog's bathroom as the dog naturally thinks it is.

I hope owners will consider getting a short leash and training the dog to walk at your side. That's really all it takes. The logic is, if the dog has to walk beside you and you don't walk in disallowed places, the dog will be unable to go there.
If you must walk through a no poop zone, pick up the pace and the dog won't have time to squat or pick up a leg.
