Grouchy Neighbor

[krick093]

My wife was walking our two small dogs last night and was waiting while one of them peed on a neighbors yard. The neighbor was sitting out across the street and verbally accosted my wife for allowing our dog to pee on her yard by street. (the friendliest hometown apparently doesn't apply to everyone living here) She threatened to call the cops - really? I'd like to see how the police would respond that complaint. She should be more diligent though and be on the lookout for the squirrels, rabbits, birds and other wildlife that are also peeing (and pooping) on her lawn. Sheesh, what a grouchy you know what.

Maybe that grouchy neighbor thought that HER property wasn't YOUR dog's bathroom. Maybe next time have your dog "pee" on YOUR own property?
(PS: I don't know, but the police might respond by charging your wife with trespassing)

It has nothing to do with being grouchy, many people care about their lawns. I don't understand why people walk their dogs daily to purposely do their business in other peoples yards. Take the dog out and walk him around your own yard. I had a german shepard in TV for 8 yrs and I trained him to go in the backyard by a tree and then we would go for a walk ...

[rjn5656]

I can't understand why people think it is ok to let their dogs pee on someone elses property. If you want a dog, let him use yours. I had dogs for 30 years and never once on purpose let him use my neighbors lawn. That is just rude and inconsiderate. However, I see it all too often down here.

Grouchy neighbor or inconsiderate neighbor……that is the question
Neighbor could have asked politely “please don’t let your dog pee on the lawn”
You could simply not think the world is your dog peeing hole

[BigSteph]

My wife walks our dog once or twice a day. She tries to use only two areas for our dog's "business" -- our yard and common areas in our Village. I say "tries," because you cannot 100% of the time direct a dog, but the point is she attempts to get her to do all her business in OUR yard prior to the exercising walk.

We see so many people race out of their yard to walk their dog to use someone else's.

Another way to think about it is if you went back to your previous state and neighborhood, full of younger people, with different races and ethnicities and attempted to use their yard, daily, as a toilet for your pet -- would you do it there -- I bet not. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe most of us are wrong for thinking our yard is not your dog's toilet.

It is not solely about a couple ounces of urine -- it is also about respect -- which seems in short supply concerning this issue.

[CFrance]

I can't believe you all fell for this trollster.

[Babubhat]

Stay off their property. Period. Use your lawn as a toilet. Why people have cameras

[golfing eagles]

I can't believe you all fell for this trollster.

Maybe. But the point is nonetheless valid.

Not sure why people bring their dogs to the mail boxes in golf carts and cars then let them get out and go into the bushes and landscaping (that we pay amenity fees for) and let them pee and poop. Leave them in your car or golf cart when you get your mail! If you are stopping by to get your mail on your walk, leave them on a short lease while you get your mail! The postal stations are not a dog park!

[MX rider]

We just bought a home in TV. We won't have a dog when we're there. But if we did, I would not allow it to pee or poop in someones yard. That's not cool at all.

If this story is true, it's just another case of an entitled dog owner.

They pay amenities too.

I agree but not going to change.

Bottom line villages allows dogs. Until that changes don’t worry what people doing when not you’re property. You will only going get high blood pressure.

IMO villages should NOT allow pets cramped in like sardines and especially multiple ones, no adult kids, or renting in villages. But that my opinion. Now that ought create hundred plus posts From the slumlords, pet lovers, and unable to cut the 4O plus year old kids loose.:a040:

[MDLNB]

I found an interesting idea from one neighbor. He said that whenever he needs to pee, he does it in a water bottle. When he sees someone allowing their dog to use his lawn, he follows them home and empties his water bottle on their lawn. IF/IF they ask him why he is doing that, he tells them that his bottle was full and decided to empty it. If they ask him why there, he says he figures that out of all his neighbors, they would understand and would not mind his using their yard. He was being considerate by not exposing himself to the public. He says he has never had to repeat the process with the same dog walker, because they seem to get the point. Seems equitable to me.
Seriously though, it is very difficult to prevent a dog from urinating on your lawn once other dogs have left their scent on it. If you do not get rid of the scent quickly, other dogs will leave their contribution on or near the same spot. When someone pays a commercial business to treat their lawn, they do not appreciate an inconsiderate neighbor undoing their costly investment.

[blueash]

Key part of the story which has escaped comment so far... the neighbor was across the street. You can be 100% sure that the OP's wife would not have let the dog toilet on the lawn if the neighbor had been standing in front of her own home because she knows such an act is not wanted or welcome. But she didn't notice the homeowner across the street and got caught.

And the OP admits above that the dog was trespassing. Guess who is legally required to have the dog under control? Hmm. I didn't bite that person, it was my dog so I'm not responsible... see??

Yeah, we live in Osceola Hills and we se people letting their dogs crap at our postal station all the time. I think it is disgusting.

In the newer and more civilized areas south of Route 44, dogs are banned from the postal and recreation areas.

I vote for this guy to be MAYOR! most sense I've read in a long time from villagers.

I won't walk on my own lawn... since its a dog park now.

A neighbor who thinks she's smarter than us old guys has 3 NEW puppies.. walks 2... goes inside and walks the last one alone. like as a senior we can't count or remember 3 minutes ago. HA!

[BigSteph]

I had a thought to share;

I find it incredulous that your neighbor can tell you what you should/should not display in your yard and how it should be maintained (even complaining on you, anonymously), but you are a jerk when you want to control who or what comes in your yard, and what they do on it.


I get one is governed by Deed Restrictions and the other is not. Still, an interesting thought experiment.

[brianherlihy]

the guy down from me called the cops on me for telling him to go have his dog pee on his home. the cop told him he was trespassing and not to go on my place

There are many , many dog poop/pee threads. Suggest you do a search on here to get a sense of what you have started.

[golfing eagles]

I wasn't the one that suggested calling the police. The OP brought it up and asked what would they do---I simply gave a possibility. Chill.

Yep. If charged, go into court with that defense. Good luck.

For the 33 years that we were parents to dogs, I always had my dog pee and poop in the potty area on our property. I covered the bare dirt with shredded mulch and surrounded the area with bricks to keep the mulch in place. I would never allow my dogs to pee or poop on anyone else's property.

While walking the dogs in the street, if the dog gravitated toward grass I would pull the dog back into the street. I knew the dog just wanted to "mark" his spot on some else's property and I would not have any of that.

I do not understand how anyone would allow their pet to pee and poop on some else's property other than their own. I understand that people do the right thing by picking up the poop but you can't pick up the pee. Then........there are some folks who don't bother to pick up the poop. Not nice at all.

Nice try.

[sail33or]

I swore when I was young and working as I drove past the old people mowing their yard, picking weeds, etc. that I would NEVER give two cents for my freaking yard or landscaping. I was not going to work hard and then retire to tend my yard. My precious grass.

I swore I would NOT live my life around my freaking yard.

My yard looks good enough. I think I will pee on it though just to show it who is really boss.

Sorry you CAN control where they pee, it is called a leash and the owner controlling the dog.

Just chalk it up to bait or wonder what prompted such a biased/prejudiced bit of flame?

[coffeebean]

1) When you walk your dog you cannot control where they pee; and 2) The dog was trespassing, not my wife.

Oh, yes you can. Unless your dog outweighs you, pull the dog into the street as they gravitate toward the grass. I did that for 33 years with my dogs. NEVER did I allow either of my dogs to pee or poop on anyone's property. They had their potty area on our property and that is where they did their business. Don't let the dog train you......you train the dog.

You can control it, just don’t allow the dog on the grass. We keep our dog in the street on walks. If she pees in the street then so be it but it is not on someone’s lawn.

People try to justify what they do. REALITY, dogs by instinct know that their waste is dirty and carries disease. The reason WHY most dogs will not relieve themselves where they live. THEY CAN BE TRAINED TO GO ON YOUR PROPERTY BUT CLEARLY YOU CANNOT TRAIN PET OWNERS..

Reasoning with dog owners is clearly a waste of time. There are animal repellents.
The owner will not train the dog.

Very well said. I don't get how anyone can make an argument that letting dogs do this is ok. But I always forget about the dillusional, entitled dogs owners that only think about themselves.

I mean WTF? What don't they get about private property!

Truth, reality, it is criminal for you to relieve yourself on your own lawn. For better or for worse, you/we have chosen to live in a planned, controlled community.

There are alternatives. I have a former business associate, who chose to purchase 180 wild acres with his brother in North Carolina.

Totally agree, our dog only uses either our lawn, or one of the several common areas along our walk, and we always pick up after her. We never let our dog on others lawns for two reasons. First, it’s respectful of their property and the right thing to do. Secondly, and equally important, you never know when the last time a lawn service or pesticide company applied nasty cancer causing chemicals to the lawn. The health of our little girl is of the upmost importance!

This thread has typically taken on a life of it's own. As far as a dog urinating on your lawn, it does burn the lawn. Perhaps, more of a problem it marks you lawn as a good place to use as a toilet. Sort of like posting your address and saying my home is a good place for your dog to go.

It ia against the law here to allow your dod to do its business on someone elses property. have you dog to its business on your own yard before taking it dog a walk for exercise

We have a dog and our dog goes in our yard prior to her walk. We had 2 other dogs prior to her and they were not allowed to pee or poop on anyone's yard! It's called RESPECT and they are not cranky.

Most owners in TV have sm dogs, so As long as poochie is on a leash out for a walk, that is what they do, pee and mark their spots. It doesn't hurt the lawn, it rains enough down here. Now be mad, if your wife walked the dog up to her bushes, that's another story. If the dog, poops, as long as they pick it up.

That's what a dog does, IF YOU LET THEM. I have a dog, my property is enclosed by an invisible fence. If someone walks their dog and it happens to pee on my lawn, I don't care either. However, this lady did care, and she has every right to expect her property not to be used as a toilet. Even if it rains (and it doesn't always in time to prevent a yellow spot), it is her property and it should be respected. Not everyone loves dogs like you and I.

A dog can be controlled and kept from another's property if/when they are only walked on the pavement away from the lawn! See it done every day by the considerate dog owners walking our block.

[Number 10 GI]

Where do some dog owners get the idea that is acceptable, and their supposed right, to disrespect another person and their property???? Do you not understand the meaning of private property? It isn't your property, you don't rent it, you don't own it, you don't pay the taxes on it and you don't pay to maintain it. How would you like if while you are at one of the town squares listening to the music and someone is setting on the hood of your car? They're not hurting it and they got tired of standing. STAY OFF OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY!!!!

A recent forum discussion among residents of The Villages was initiated
when a note was posted regarding a "grouchy" neighbor. It seems the
neighbor was across the street from his house and witnessed a dog being
walked by the Forum's poster urinate on his lawn. The neighbor angrily
confronted the dog walker. Since this had been a long time practice by the
dog owner he labeled the angry neighbor as grouchy.

A practice my family has had since I was young: we always had a container
in which every family member urinated. When the container became full one
of us would take it to a neighbor's yard and empty it. We proudly saw that
as a way to reduce flushing and conserve water. Anyone who would object to that practice clearly objected to thoughtful conservation practices.

Too bad, but that’s the way it is!

You may be a responsible dog owner, but many here are not.

What is so difficult about understanding that it isn't the dog owner's property. Would you have such a cavalier attitude if your neighbor's cat liked to sunbather/sleep on the roof of your car?

I'd be more curious as to how he got into my garage...:icon_wink:

1. Dog is on a leash. Owner controls where dog can go.
2. Your dog is your property. You control your dog. Dog on neighbor's property is you trespassing.

No justifying appropriating another's property for your dogs toilet.

Just so we're clear...

You don't like it when a dog poops/pees on someone else's yard?

It's difficult to tell from your posts on the subject... :popcorn:

Most owners in TV have sm dogs, so As long as poochie is on a leash out for a walk, that is what they do, pee and mark their spots. It doesn't hurt the lawn, it rains enough down here. Now be mad, if your wife walked the dog up to her bushes, that's another story. If the dog, poops, as long as they pick it up.

SO WRONG! You control where your dog can go and what they can do. If you can't handle that simple responsibility then you shouldn't have a dog.
Control your dog! Stay off property not yours! Size of dog is irrelevant! Respect your neighbor's property.
NO TRESPASSING! KEEP OFF THE LAWN!! No excuses!!!

A recent forum discussion among residents of The Villages was initiated
when a note was posted regarding a "grouchy" neighbor. It seems the
neighbor was across the street from his house and witnessed a dog being
walked by the Forum's poster urinate on his lawn. The neighbor angrily
confronted the dog walker. Since this had been a long time practice by the
dog owner he labeled the angry neighbor as grouchy.

A practice my family has had since I was young: we always had a container
in which every family member urinated. When the container became full one
of us would take it to a neighbor's yard and empty it. We proudly saw that
as a way to reduce flushing and conserve water. Anyone who would object to that practice clearly objected to thoughtful conservation practices.

I suppose that's okay as long as your neighbors aren't out on their porch playing their banjos.:)

Dog pee kills grass. Not everyone is a dog person (we are) but still I have found poop in our yard. Just the other day there was a man on a mobility scooter with two small dogs on leashes. I saw them poop in a yard and he never got his fat you know what off the scooter to pick it up. If I see him again he is going to get an earful. People need to respect other’s property.

Not hard at all to understand,
It was a pretty straight forward post and he made his point quite well.
Unlike some posts that have nothing to do
with the OP’s topic of inconsiderate, and
disrespectful behavior of dog owners

[triflex]

Florida should pass a law that says ANY dog owner allowing their pet to poop/pee in your yard is, by operation of law, allowing the aggrieved property owner to go and poop in the dog owner's yard. And to do so without restraint for a period not to exceed 30 days.

I think seeing me write my name if your grass and fertilizing around the lamppost to a height of several inches will fix the problem.

Then my dog must pee lemonade, since the pees in our yard multiple times a day with zero damage to the grass...

And why didn't you give Mr "fat you know what" an earful when you saw him let his dogs poop the first time?

Nope, our neighbors over yonder, played gut buckets exclusively.

Here is the post you need help with…

“well i live on wilder path and the doge pee on my land so i will get a scent dog dont like and spray my grass all the time“

I thought you were a bright guy, anyway here’s your translation!
No thanks needed!

Well I live on Wilder path, and dogs pee on my land,
so I will get a scent dogs don’t like, and spray my grass with it all the time!

Not too hard, and at least he stayed on topic while sharing his feelings about irresponsible, inconsiderate dog owners allowing their dogs to use other peoples property to pee and crap.

It was nice of you to correct some of his spelling... But, if you think that post was "pretty straight forward", you've got a job as a translator at the UN waiting for you...

Sorry, nice try, but I think it’s more
of a matter of finding fault with others
with a differing opinion!

I have to admit, Brian doesn’t make it easy,

For all we know, that member may be fluent in 7 languages, including ancient Greek and hieroglyphics. English clearly isn't one of them----so what? It's actually fun to decipher those posts!

Are you "finding fault" with Brian?

I find it hysterical that just as you were composing your post, chastising me, another "we need a Captain Midnight Decoder Ring" post pops up...

Care to take a stab at that one?

P.S. No one ever said he doesn't have the right to share his opinions. The comments were about not understanding what those opinions were...

P.S. With all of the emojis being used in texts, I fear we are devolving BACK to hieroglyphics! :1rotfl:

It seems you took offense at a poster who
referred to a persons weight issue,
but you don’t have any trouble pointing out
someone’s grammatical errors.
Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black!

I didn't point out anyone's "grammatical errors"...

That would be a full time job on this board...

I did comment on a post that "to me", made absolutely zero sense. Better grammar wouldn't have made a difference...
