Regulations On Where Dogs Can Do Their Business
 

I'm new to TV and I'd like to know if there are specific regulations concerning where dogs can do their business? For example:

- Are they allowed to use neighbor's lawns?
- How about on a golf course?
- Are they allowed to use islands on cul de sacs?
- Are they permitted to use areas by mail stations?

I'd like to know if TV has written rules and who to go to if they are violated. I have noticed that many people with dogs don't like to walk them on their own property. Instead, they prefer to walk them on the areas mentioned above.

Thanks for your help.

Boy howdy!!!

Hi Newbie (9/21/12).

Welcome to TOTV. Dog threads, especially those involving p**p, are always welcome here. Dogs are allowed to do stuff wherever and whenever they wish, so no need to call anyone.

Never on the Morses' front or back yards though.

Lake County has laws about picking up dog poop. You may find similar laws too in the other Counties' legal databases.

The Paradise Lake Park has some laws posted about picking up after your dog but I cannot seem to find these in the local legal databases. They could be State Laws too. Paradise Park is in Lake County on the east side of the bridge over US441/27.

I love dogs and cats. I love The Villages.

In reality
 

Ni one enforces the rules nor ate they publihhed :doggie::doggie::doggie:

I would suggest "The Golden Rule"

Alternatively, "We don't need no Schtinkin' Rules":1rotfl:

Contrary to one poster dogs are not allowed to do their thing on anyones lawn except their owners...as it should be, but many folks don't mind as long as you clean it up. Be prepared for those who don't like dog urine on their lawn(it is their property and if they use their lawn that urine and residue of feces will track back to their house). The VCDD said you ask the person nicely to keep your animal off your property(take a photo of them if you can)....if they do it again call the VCDD and they will speak to them. If they continue letting the dog go on your lawn you will be fined.

Being considerate and respecting others property is common sense....those who disagree just don't want anyone telling what they can and can not do...I call them liberals....

It’s simple to do. Check your house number. Even or odd?*

If your house number is even…
If your house number ends in an even number, like 532, 4298, or 8266, your dog may do its business anywhere outside on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.*

If your house number is odd…
If your house number ends with an odd number, like 531, 4299, or 8267, your dog may do their business anywhere outside on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

What about Monday?
We all take a break—no dogs allowed outside *on Monday. It is not necessary for a dog to do their business every day.

So, now that we know the rule of where NOT to go, where CAN conservatives let their dogs relieve themselves

I like it. This way they can drink water on days they can't poop

Alright !!! Another poop thread ! :popcorn: :wine: Okay, I'm ready. :icon_wink:

Try not to get too excited---we all know where it eventually leads:1rotfl:

Dear Barry DC:

As to The Villages regulations and dog's business. First you have to get the dog regular because it pretty much determines certainty. With certainty you can choose the least offending spot for Spot. Believe me when I say it will save you an awfully lot of anxiety.

Welcome to The Villages

Personal Best Regards:

The old hippies never liked rules and regulations. Therefore they've taught their dogs:

"If it feels good, do it."

"Private property? No, yours is mine."

Maybe we're reverting to the philosophy of the native Americans who were here before us---no one owns the land:1rotfl:

Should we tell the "Newbie who has been on TOTV since 9/12" about what dogs are allowed to do on MMPs?

"What's this I hear?"
 

Whose Dog Goes Where When has been a long-running topic on TOTV and a widespread interest in other places, too.

In fact, I heard that some guy -- I think his name is Darwin -- wrote a whole, big book about it.....

The book is titled "The Origin of the Feces."

We don't need no schtinkin' leashes, either!

By gosh I think you've got it. Outstanding!

Actually, there is a book with this title. :welcome: The Origin of Feces | David Waltner-Toews

All the dogs are retired here and not allowed to run any kind of business.

Usually better to find out for yourself, but.....

They can drink white paint then pee a stripe, side or center at their discretion
They can run at 21 mph and get cited for being a LSV/ unregistered canine
They can poop anywhere, the bikers really appreciate that
They can weave across the whole path after getting drunk
They can run any and all stop signs
They can run down the middle of a tunnel without headlights
They can break the gates to each Village, especially Bonita
They can pass the really slow carts, subject to #2 above
They can expose their "boobs", unless it is a costume :1rotfl:

You guys ... :evil6:

Fred, are you sure about that fine busines? Does the VCDD really have the authority to issue fines?
Also, it hardly seems fair for the VCDD to fine the owner of a house, just because a dog pees on his lawn. :popcorn:

I just moved in and appreciate this thread. I try very hard to make my dog poo in the gutter so I can pick it up better. I don't want to offend AÑYONE and sure hope I don’t. It's tough to steer her in the right direction but I try. I should carry a plug with me!LOL!

Welcome. You will find you have joined a group of wild and crazy people. But it's the best place on earth.

Anywhere but someone...
 

else's lawn...

It is not difficult...
 

to control your dog if you train it properly. It is only an excuse to do otherwise. It is not a dogs fault where it goes to the bathroom...rather it is the owners. Shorten the leash and have the dog walk on the side furthest from the curb...teach it to heel. You have the whole internet and you tube to figure it out.

And they took...
 

the land from someone else....

Your feedback is appreciated.

Hmmm

Hard to walk dog on postage stamp:popcorn::popcorn::welcome:

Well said. Although my dog ownership days are over I have had many in the past. It was not difficult to train them. I even trained a neighbor's dog, at their request, and she was not the brightest bulb in the lamp. I found they all wanted to please and a firm hand on the leash along with praise worked.

That's true, and dogs need exercise.
That's why we take our dogs daily to the private dog park so they can run off leash and play.

You don't walk them on a "postage stamp"...
 

you walk them in the street, or sidewalk, or field. Just like we did when I had a dog. Someone else's property is NOT for you to walk YOUR dog....

It's like common sense and decency were bred out of some folks....

I agree
 

I am always amazed at some pet owners that think it is okay to use another persons property for their personal dog use. It is private property. PRIVATE property.

Who picks up after the coyotes?

My dog won't walk on somebody else's property. Cooties.
