This problem could be fixed so easily!
 
Every pet owner needs to "relieve" their pet in their OWN yard.....You know the old "golden rule"....What frost me is the arrogance of some pet owners...I approached one pet owner and explained that my dog ONLY goes in HIS yard, and the response, you will love this, Oh, my father-in-law would NEVER allow that!....In other words, it's ok for their pet to make spots in my yard, but NOT in theirs....I've been trying to resolve this by getting opinions from several pet owners and yesterday a pet owner said that she would be annoyed if someone suggested that she relieve her dogs in her yard....I just don't get it!

The other option is of course going to common areas (postal areas or pet parks)

The residents that really SHOULD be upset are the homes WITHOUT pets....Very little respect is given to these residents....

:sigh: Sunday a dog did it in my driveway. Tonight one did it in my front yard. The owners picked up after them but I don't know if they got it all? Yesterday at the Bonita mailboxes, I saw an owner pick up and dispose of the waste into the container provided for the mail trash. Where does it all end?:loco:

I see this as one of the few flaws in The Developers' Planning Strategy. The Developers decided to allow two domestic pets per household. Well and good. Many people purchased in TV (including me) because they allow two pets, any size. IMHO, the Developer should have provided convenient neighborhood dog parks so the canines wouldn't have to be exercised on neighborhood streets. Personally, when in TV, we take our dogs every single day to DDRR, and we're glad to pay for the fee at the private dog park.

Residents without pets will protest that Amenity Fees shouldn't include dog parks. But we don't golf or play pickle ball or tennis, and we're happy to have amenity fees spent on sports.

Pandora's Box is now open.

This is sexist!!! Why does my wife always complain of wet seats in public women's rooms?:girlneener:

One controls what one can control and I can control dogs using my yard as a toilet!:angel:

Seriously, I fail to understand how any right thinking person feels they right to have their dog use my yard when they undoubtedly have a yard of their own??:confused:

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.

How hard is to not let your dog pee on someone else’s property? Harder than carrying around a bottle to dilute the pee? Sorry, I just don’t get it. I have two dogs. We walk all over the neighborhood, but they don’t walk of other’s property. Therefore, they can’t pee (or poop) on other’s property.

I just don’t get it.

OK... I'm reading the posts and it appears that everyone is letting their dogs poop and pee on everyone else's lawn... I'm thinking it pretty much evens out!

*slapping hands together* Problem solved! :shrug:

NEXT!

Dogs
 
Maybe the developer could set aside homes for dog owners only, in each neighborhood. Then all the neighbors would have something in common, poop, pee, and barking! Leave the non dog owners alone!

I just don't see how that could work.

1. What if you are a dog lover but don't own a dog?

2. What if you don't have a dog but then decide to buy a dog but you live in the none dog area?

3. What if you have a dog and then discover you are allergic to dogs and now you are stuck in the dog area?

I'm sorry, but I think there is a flaw in this plan.

Now to plan "B"..... :angel:

Area is for dog owners only
2. What if you don't have a dog but then decide to buy a dog but you live in the none dog area? You will have to move
3. What if you have a dog and then discover you are allergic to dogs and now you are stuck in the dog area? You will have to move

All of this buying and selling will help the economy!
