If the one-acre or half-acre lots we had, or the courtyard villa lot we have here were not big enough for the dog to get enough exercise on, then we'd buy a place with several acres.
Can't afford several acres? Then change course. There's acreage for sale outside of TV for a whole lot less.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
And finally, the title of the newspaper article and the title of this thread got it right: it's the OWNER who's irresponsible and the usual problem, not the dog.

I agree. I did not see it advertised anywhere or in my contract that The Villages is a dog friendly community. My property is private and I do not want dogs walking all over it. The owners allow the dogs on the property by releasing
Long leases. I know that The Villages allows dogs and provides places for dogs to run unleashed. By providing places for dogs, in my opinion does not mean owners can let their dogs go wherever the owner feels they should be. Dogs should be confined to their property or use the dog parks. They should not be walked on private property
