However dog owners should realize that most people that don't have a dog see them as just animals or peeing and pooping machines looking for their lawn to relieve themselves.
And I totally agree with that, and if you could see all my dog-poop posts over the last year or so, you would see we're on the same page. There just is no reason to have your dog on someone else's property. The "my dog won't pee anywhere else" excuse just doesn't hold with me. They're all trainable, if you're committed to do the right thing.

I don't think bad drivers are trainable, though!!
