The last neighborhood i lived was full of young families with dogs. When we walked our dogs, we stopped and talked to each other. Our dogs sniffed each other and peed next to each other. Nobody ever complained as long as we all followed the golden rule. If they poop you scoop, if they pee its free.
We spent more time making sure our neighborhood was safe for the kids and that there was always a parent at the bus stop each morning and afternoon. Anyone in the neighborhood who complained about an occasional child cutting through their property to get to the park or a dog peeing on their lawn was condered an old sour puss!
And that's all I have to say about that!!!
