What is this common sense that you speak of? |
Quote:
Anyone who trained a dog from a puppy probably took it outside into the yard to go. Wherever you train the puppy to go is where he will get the idea that's where he's supposed to go, and he will go there. Our current dog was trained in a yard full of pebbles in Key West one winter. Upon returning to Michigan when he was 6 months old, we had to retrain him to go on grass. It was possible. We never had a dog that wouldn't go in our yard. |
Personally I have a little plastic dispenser that holds biodegradable dog waste bags and it is always attached to my dog's leash so I have it when I need it. It's not rocket science....just common sense and responsibility.

Not sure if you own a dog

As far as discovering a need to go on a walk. A dog uses scent far more than sight. A male dog will pee on every tree that catches his attention-HEY GUYS I WAS HERE. Some dogs seem to try to cover their leavings by scratching. There are glads in his feet that give off a scent and that is the motive. I LIKE DOGS BUT, RESPECT FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS IS ALWAYS NECESSARY-TRULY SIMPLE. |

Again, I fear you are making a blanket accusation. But I will say that a short leash and owner control will keep any dog, neutered or not, from going on someone's lawn. And that's the right thing to do. |

The point of the the first post was not whether you pick it up or not, but if you allow your dog to come on someones private property to do it.

Comments in this case can go all over the place. I find it interesting, actually. It's a diverse conversation. Kind of what a forum is about. The Mods will tell us if we've gone too far off topic.:wave: |
This has been said b4
:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:
This works for me, buy a wooden sign, use a paint stick, with magic marker write "PLEASE NO PETS". Problem solved, it works!!! |

Perhaps in our older age, many people get bent out of shape for too many minor things because they don't have enough to gripe about; insignificant things are magnified to grandiose purportions! They make mountains out of mole hills. They just can't let many of these things fade into nothingness ! |

While the homeowner maintains these areas and they show up on a survey that shows ownership, it would be very costly to sue someone for trespass. I'd be willing to bet the homeowner loses! |

Bitter? No, but as the O.P. of this thread, I found the comment I copied offensive, angry and to use your word -- bitter. I purposely did not comment on it initially because I thought perhaps it just hit me wrong. I have not changed my opinion and was even very surprised that it passed the Moderator's smell test and was not removed. I found the comment arrogant! My real opinion is that too many "old" people here get bent out of shape for too many insignificant things. My use of "old" is not a chronological number; it is a mindset! |

Your comment is well-taken as is what CFrance has said in some of her posts. The banter always seems to turn hateful when the topic has anything to do with pets. The hateful ones are so unnecessary and there are too many of them. They are not helpful. Most dog owners are not unconscious (present company included) and we do the best we can. Our dogs are leashed and we pick up after them when they "go" -- at home and otherwise. Then there are the limited few you simply want to choke, such as the woman at Walmart in a previous post. We do not have sidewalks in any of the neighborhoods and dog parks are few; most owners have to drive to one. We do not have fenced yards, so taking your dog for a walk is virtually, the only exercise readily available. Walking a dog on the 100+ degree blacktop is not an option without shoes or for any pet. Walking along the edge of someone's grass is not going to kill it. If someone lets their dog continually relieve them self on someone's lawn, then YES -- you have an issue and should deal with the pet owner. However, an accident is an accident so lighten up! It's doubtful there would be any damage and if so, it isn't permanent. It takes a lot of ongoing pee to kill a shrub! Many of the angry posters on this thread have not even experienced any of the problems they are bringing up. So -- can we let sleeping dogs lie???? |

IMO the pet forum should be deleted like the political forum or renamed the DOG HATE forum. AND NO I DONT HAVE PET ANYMORE AND I NEVER GO ON PRIVATE PROPERTY without premission or going straight to front door? You're not going to change pet owners by posting you're opinion on how nasty they are by posting here, they probably don't even visit this site? Now chew on that for awhile. :popcorn:

We responsible dog owners keep an eye out for the abusers. In my own area, there are emails sent around by "the mayor" whenever stuff is not picked up. Residents keep an eye out for offenders and offer a bag. Many of us will even pick up what others have left behind. Come live in Tamarind Grove or Biscayne Villas. It's pristine. |

I agree with the OP. and have no issue with the pertinent post. And as far as friendly dogs: I have a 4" scar on my thigh I received as a child from a large, "She's only being friendly," dog when I inadvertently stepped on her foot. In my opinion, I have seen far too many village dog owners that are inconsiderate to non-animal aficionados.

I find a lot of the time it's the people who have had run-ins with dogs in the past who are complaining about any dog activity in TV, be it picking up poop or whatever. Oftentimes their response is escalated into a situation that doesn't even occur in TV and is off topic. You state you "inadvertently" stepped on a dog's foot when you were a child. Is there more to the story. Now you indicate that dogs in TV are not friendly. I "innocently/inadvertently" was trespassing through someone's backyard on the way home from school in the 5th grade, when their boxer bit me on the knee. There's a whole lot of difference between someone's dog biting you and some dog's owner neglecting to pick up after them. I'd like to see the facts: how many dogs have attacked how many Villagers in how many years. |
My incident occurred in the 60's on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Hardly private property. There were a few friendly dog posts mentioned further in this thread, hence my decision to include my encounter. You misconstrue that I inferred that dogs attack people in the villages. Based upon my aforementioned experience any," friendly" dog that advances to someone, albeit a sniff or soliciting a pet is an invasion of personal space. That has occurred to me on many occasions as I frequent the squares. I was commenting on the OP's inconsiderateness of some dog owners irregardless of whether it is poo, ****, or leashing.

My experience with dogs in TV is that they do not want to socialize with you (sniffing or soliciting a pet) unless they are a golden retriever. I think you had a bad experience with a dog that has put you off. |
I think the problem of irresponsible dog owners in TV...could be solved fairly easily.
Simply require all dog owners...to register the DNA of their dog's poop. DNA registry may put dog-poop deniers to the test Quote:
It would easily identify those (I believe a minority here)...who don't bother picking up after their pooch. :shrug: I also think that those who would be against it, are mostly the ones...who are probably the culprits. :popcorn: |

I don't need a DNA test for my dog. I know his family tree. It's out back near the rose bush.
