*yawn* got into it with a woman allowing her dog to crap on my lawn. Asked not to and she said it was to late the dog had started. It's a dog...you pull the leash it comes...in the beginning, middle and end of a crap the dog will move...the owner is supposed to be the master and dog is supposed to be obedient. It is illegal and subject to a fine if you let your dog even walk on other peoples lawns. It's private property and there are enough common areas to take the dog. If you're to lazy to go to those areas then lose the dog. Teach your dog to either go in a common area or on YOUR OWN property!

Yeah there are folks who poke fun...their traps would snap shut the first time they bring dog crap into their house. It's always funny to some till it happens to them. *sigh* Teaching dog owners to be respectful is like trying to teach a dog to use the toilet.....

If you pick up after your dog, it is fine if they use my yard.

Dog parks in the older districts are ruin down and too small. The area I see open field flood plain for the retaining pond. And it's not private property it's owned by district which residents paid for through bonds and elect officials to manage and control.

IMO leave it alone and don't waste money on it, it's common area that only dog walkers use. But, they shouldn't be off leash, owners are responsible to abid by local ordinances.

Interesting replies, most of whom don't get it. I am not attempting to make new friends with this post, and your welcome to the villages comment is late because I have now been here 17 years. My purpose is to point out leash laws, using common areas that are NOT dog parks, ENTITLED dog owners that think my yard is THEIR personal dog park. I will never understand the hubris and temerity of dog owners ASSUMING the right to walk their dogs on private property. If you are a dog owner, use YOUR yard. I respect YOUR property and would never enter uninvited. Cant use your yard? Get rid of your dog, you get all the enjoyment at home, I get your crap. THINK ABOUT IT!

So, you got local problem of some idiot letting dog in your yard. Then, you group all dog owners and Think you can control Common areas like retention ponds, paths run off streets, and around Mail centers/anywhere else common areas are. Condemning all dog owners when .9% are total idiots Not going to solve your problem. The dog owner in question might not even use TOTVs. Can add this to the other hundreds of Vent posts.

The Villages Neighborhood Watch needs to be proactive in putting a stop to this. It certainly is NOT a designated DOG PARK. Why is it permitted since I see this gathering on a regular basis?

While we are at it, why do dog owners feel they are entitled to use other peoples private property for their DOG PARK? Why do they not use their own yard. I have pets so not a pet hater. Just a very responsible person that understands trespass and private property.

The real issue is not dogs but the owners.

I like dogs but we do not own one. For me it is far better to enjoy someone else s pet and then leave them with the PROBLEMS.

Like most things, we note the IRRESPONSIBLE ones not the majority that are responsible.
