It would be the dog that eats anything that would eat a mothball and then get sick.....
I take my dog to common areas, in the golf cart 3 times a day so she will not have the opportunity to pee in a neighbors yard, she will go in her own yard... good girl.. and she would never eat a mothball, but some dogs will eat anything as I have said and that said NEVER USE MOOTHBALLS!!!!!

He is

My dog
 

My dog urinates in the following places: storm drains, curbs, sprinkler heads (my neighbors are grateful that he keeps their sprinkler heads clear) fire hydrant's and lampposts. The last two he has as much right to urinate on as you do. He however will not get busted for lewd and lascivious conduct.

My dog poops where he wishes. I pick it up.

We have no cranky dog haters on our street.

Thanks for posting this, Skybo! I had no idea that mothballs were poisonous to animals. I should definitely have googled this before jumping on the Mothball Train. Me bad. :doh:

the only correct answer
 

Lawn spots, uranalysis, ph content, all aside...

To me, who loves dogs but does not want their droppings in MY yard (I think that's MY right), this is the only correct answer - from a responsible dog owner there.

Thanks for understanding - SKYBO!

I agree with Skybo. It depends on the dog, temperature and frequency of watering. I'm not a TV resident yet but I see the same problem where I live now. Neighbors have the same type of yard and grass that I do but will walk their dog and let them urinate on others property. How rude can you get? I have always owned dogs and love them all but my dogs-my yard. If you let them out into your yard before you take them for a walk, they will learn to do their business there. I'm pretty sure it is the owners who are rude and need training. Male dogs will attempt to "mark" territory even when they have no water left in the tank but that is not going to kill grass or damage plants. Certainly, letting my pets urinate on your property is not the first impression I would want to make when I meet my new neighbors. Here is a link to the product that will stand guard:

This whole dog pee topic is.....................(wait for it)...................."p!ssing" me off!! :shocked:

Feeble attempt at humor.... :wave:

Bill :)

Um... I was sure he was going to post in this thread. :icon_wink:

He did post, P.
 

bump

:highfive:

I can't wait to get to TV, even though the big event of the day is dog pee! It seems mild in comparison for what us wanna bes have to deal with on a daily basic living outside of the bubble. I wish the most stressful thing in my life was dog urine.

Years ago we had two large Dobermans, now that was a lot of pee and their urine did not turn our grass brown.

Is it possible you have a grass fungus, maybe red thatch? After the dogs died we had a few summers with brown patches which turned out to be a fungus (caused by high humidity) which was easily treated with chemicals by a lawn service.

I think dog owners are so inconsiderate, they carry those plastic bags, but if you are not watching them they don't pick up CRAP....

Maybe it's one of your neighbors and not their dog.

You guys need to get a life.

That's the beauty in all of this.....most of us have some extra time to b***h and moan about this sort of stuff.... ;) ;)
Actually, it's a battle here, and just about in every other community where pets live. Here we have TOTV to sound off on!

Absolutely. Go Pee and Poo on YOUR OWN lawn first. That first concentration of urine is awful on the lawn. I go to my lanai and stare at the dog owners. This way, they know I am watching them. (sometimes..I DO have a life). Better yet...bring your own Fido out and scare the crap out of their little shnitsoo, pitsooo or whatever. :girlneener:

...If you're not watching them, how do you know that?

I have seen folks letting their dogs crap on the grassy areas on the side of the golf cart roads and not pick it up....I guess they think we won't stop and confront them. I did once and the language out of that man's mouth was really something. He was a real potty mouth. Wish gollf cart's had traceable license plates sometimes.

here i though the villages was PET FRIENDLY, but I,m starting to think it isn,t Friendly at all!! :jester:

Yea, then the posse could go ...um, beat the crap out of him. :jester:

Wrong thinking on so many levels
 

I am among those dog lovers who thinks it is presumptuous for any dog owner to allow their pet to use any lawn other than their own for its bodily functions.

Whether it leaves spots, kills grass, or is picked up is irrelevant....it's bad behavior!!!

The Villages IS Pet friendly; just not lovers of bad behavior.

Just another expression that some people think rules of good and lawful behavior do not apply to them.

Maybe it was the way you talked to him?

While female dogs just need one good pee, male dogs MARK. My dog lifts his leg about 20 times on a walk. The first 10 times are at the park then we make are way around the block where he finds 10 more places to leave his scent. The only thing is, by pee #11 he is empty. So, what appears to be a pee, is actually just a dramatization :jester:

A generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper along the curb, and the problem is solved

I was completely non confrontational, even offered him a bag to use to pick it up. No man should ever verbally assault a woman that way, even if he was offended by being caught in his own game.

why would you like traceable license plates?

You definitely don't want this little guy anywhere near your grass or trees.

Hum... tracable plates! I can just see the sceniaro:

• Place the crap in an empty brown lunch bag.
• Twist top of bag
• Trace the plates and go to the house of the pooch's owner.
• Place the bag on their porch.
• Set top of bag on fire.
• Ring the doorbell and run like a dog being chased by Fumar...!

The Villages is extremely pet friendly. But what is my property is not yours....to pollute and deface as your dog pleases.

If I move to The Villages, will I start to worry about trivial things like dog pee and bicycle riders breaking minor traffic laws? I hope not, I was hoping to be busy doing fun stuff and activities.

No.

You will.

:::sigh::sigh::oops: Agreed andSorry, I didn't mean to imply that such behavior is EVER Correct. I am a dog owner and she never uses anyone's property. I always use my own yard and I pick up immediately after, bag it and deposit in my trash can. When I take her to a park I also bag it and use a trash can. MY remark about unfriendly villagers was only because of some of the comments and the fact that some go on and on about a subject! Sounds alittle unfriendly to me!!:wave:

Just an aside...and actually it's kind of funny. My brother in law used to have two very large, very pooping rotties. He'd pick up their deposits in a plastic bag and then deposit all the smaller bags into a large black plastic bag. Every once in a while, he'd throw the large, very heavy black plastic bag into the bed of his pickup and take it to the community dumpster. Well, one day someone decided that whatever was in the beds of pick up trucks in his area was going to be stolen. LOL...the black bag with all the doggie doo was one of the items stolen. Boy was that loot going to surprise someone when they opened the bag!

pooh, there's something about your story............that stinks! :jester:

:agree::agree::agree: Like Dog Poop!!!!

Having owned 8 previous houses I knew that the no fence rule would not work for me so I bought a corner lot Villa. I installed two doggie doors and they go in and out all day long. My female sleeps outside for hours now that the weather is cool. They love it and are Not restricted to fresh air only during walks. Elective fences were not an option for us.

My dogs are trained to pee and poop on command. Not hard to do but many dog owners do not invest the time to train their dogs to be good citizens. Seems we have two extremes in TV. On one hand is the dog owner who has no regard for other people and on the other hand people who have zero tolerance for dogs and go balistic if your dog sniffs a bush after emptying his bladder before the walk. That is why I believe that good fences make good neighbors.

If Courtyard Villas were not available my wife and I would have not moved here. It was a deal breaker for us. We learned several houses ago about the problems that go with no fences and not just from dogs. Sure it looks nicer without fences but less aggravation with one.

I think someone needs to adopt a rescue dog :)

Another poopular thread. :jester:

While I certainly agree that pet owners need to pick up after their dogs, Please, until you men can pee and NOT get any of it on the toliet seats, worry about that before you worry about pee on your grass! You most likely have what....15 to 20 years life on this planet, if that, enjoy it, and stop the worry about a little brown spot in your yard! Its just grass for god sake! The picking up with the other I fully understand, you do understand birds pee and poop, and sure that is hitting your yard too....enjoy life more..complain about real issues, not that your grass is not green

One should raise the seat, first!

Water Bottle and pet clean up
 

When I walk my dog, in addition to the usual cleanup bag etc., I carry a filled water bottle. If our pet did not use OUR yard for her bathroom, and uses a neighbor's lawn, following the cleanup duty, I always pour the water bottle contents on the site. Its a thorny subject, and like most aspects of living in TV, some folks are better at obeying the rules of "being a good neighbor" than others.
