Comparing dogs' droppings to that of gators or birds or other wildlife is not a valid comparison.
Wildlife goes where it wants to go, and they don't like to hang out in peoples' yards, streets, nor among moving vehicles and pedestrians.
Also, the number of gators etc. in neighborhood streets, sidewalks and yards is miniscule compared to the number of dogs here that could easily number 20,000.
Domesticated animals like a dog on a leash are led to yards by an owner who either:
a) restrains the dog from going onto the yard because he respects other people's private property; or
b) disrespects another person's private property and allows and follows the dog onto the yard.
Does anyone really think the Dog Whisperer (Cesar), for example, would allow a dog on a leash to go onto somebody's yard to do its business there while out for a walk on the streets??
I certainly don't think so. His training is all about discipline, obedience, and letting the dog know who is the boss, and the dogs certainly do not suffer from such discipline.
