Dog Owners Please be considerate of others.
 
Do not let your dogs do there duty on other people"s lawns, the brown spots are not very appealing,the covenants cover this and should be read by all dog owners,people's property is private,not a dog park. Thankyou.

A simple request that is about to go:boom:

billethkid 02-15-2013 05:38 PM

I'll be first!!!

I object to the general categorization of "dog owners" and the unknown reason why one would want to throw such a caution/suggestion to the 95% of us dog owners who do in fact the right thing.

To be more accurate in the future please address you request to the guilty parties by using such terminology as dog owners who etc, etc, etc.

And oh by the way if you are hoping to reach some you know in your neighborhood, then you must also know they will see your message here on TOTV (which I doubt). And if there are some in your neighborhood doing what you object to, just be very neighborly and go out and ask them to cease and desist....then you will have narrowed your need to seek corrective very specifically to the party that is in fact guilty (I doubt this will happen either....the old let's not offend the guilty).

TOTV does serve a purpose to with it's anonymoty to allow folks to vent their dislikes in the safety of incognito. However you should be more specific in your venting as to who the vent is aimed.

Next?

You are right We bought a home which backs to a street, so that we would not have other people deal with are dogs Guess what I got some nit witt walking his boxer every morning on my grass, why would someone think this was ok?

2BNTV 02-15-2013 06:23 PM

Here we go again, another dog poop thread. :popcorn:

dmorhome 02-15-2013 06:31 PM

that is why they have dog PARKS

It's not about the dog poop, It's about the lack of respect for others, can't blame the dog for the owners stupidity

shcisamax 02-15-2013 06:34 PM

I would think people expect their dogs to poop on their own property before they go for a walk. And I do see responsible dog owners walking their dogs with a bag in hand in case of accidents. I have just never seen someone let their dog poop and then walk on. It really surprises me that people just leave it.

The point is the dog should not be allowed to be on someone else's property for any reason

jebartle 02-15-2013 06:43 PM

This worked for me....
 
Put out an ensey weensy sign that says "Please NO Pets"....It worked!:MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

KARENNN 02-15-2013 07:04 PM

Or a sign that says "dogs welcome" for those who are a bit less persnickety.

I think he was talking to the 5 % not you. Calm down and don't become paranoid. Some folks need to be reminded.

aussiemom 02-15-2013 07:23 PM

I would say the majority of dog owners are responsible and if accidents do happen, they do clean up. They don't plan on their dogs doing their business on someone's lawn, but sometimes it just happens. But you can buy signs at Petco and PetsMart that do ask that dogs stay off your property.

However, I can say I do know quite a few people who have complained about dog owners, but many of them own cats........who are allowed to roam loose. They think that's different.......HMMM.

But either way............you need to confront those you are having problems with and not generalize all dog owners.

dmorhome 02-15-2013 07:33 PM

my point exactly

For accuracy I suggest modifying the above to read as follows:

see it going on in all neighborhoods granted MOST owners do have respect but SOME don't

It is so easy to cure...just talk to the one's that do it on your property....I gurantee they will not stop by your place again....on to someone else's yard they will go.

Also if you know your sprinler zone numbers, turn them on when the perp and pup are on your lawn:D

dmorhome 02-15-2013 07:44 PM

my point
 
exactly my point .don't pay to have lawn fertilized ,cut,weeded,to be used as a toilet.

shcisamax 02-15-2013 07:49 PM

Why do some people like to discuss this over and over and over. Life just isn't always neat. I believe people try their best but $?%* happens.

dmorhome 02-15-2013 08:00 PM

my feelings
 
exactly private property keep off the grass.simple as that.

Uptown Girl 02-15-2013 08:05 PM

For those fledgeling TOTV members who may not already know, if you use the 'search' feature at the top of the page and type in 'dog poop' you will find there have been MANY threads and posts on this topic. It will afford you HOURS of reading.

I went off on it when I was new, too. Silly me. That's when I was first encouraged to use the old search button.

Long before I came along, TOTV surmised that the majority of dog owners in TV are responsible and considerate human beings.

The blankety-blank other dog owners are likened to pond scum.
In most cases, they are not 'candidates for enlightenment', so you can get all verklempt, or bite the countertop, but THEY won't change and you'll still be verklempt.
Ask me, I know.

I finally sprinkled red pepper flakes on the perimeter of my lawn before the last regular 'poopetrator' brought his dog for it's daily territorial visit .
The dog took a sniff and kept on going. After two visits my address was avoided.
That might be an idea. Meantime, we understand.
:ho:

graciegirl 02-15-2013 08:07 PM

Why is it that we have lived here in two homes for five years, the latest being a corner lot and no dog has done bad stuff on our property?

I love our neighborhood dogs, here and in Hadley.

I am sorry that so many folks have difficulty.

I also want to say that I haven't ever seen people let their cats out to wander about here. They would be prey for the coyotes and hawks.

Life on this forum wouldn't be right without a dog poop thread, a roundabout thread, an IRS thread and discussion of guns, none of which we will all completely agree upon.

We are a bunch of stubborn older people, yes we are.:1rotfl:

Uptown, I didn't mean to challenge anything you said. You are the cats pajamas. We posted simultaneously.

ilovetv 02-15-2013 08:14 PM

Oh good. There's nothing like a good dog poop thread.

That being said, there are some who do not use their own yard for the dog to poop in, so they take them to other people's property to dooooo it and leave it. They are a small minority of dog owners. Most are responsible and friendly.

Bogie Shooter 02-15-2013 08:18 PM

Bill, I will offer :popcorn::popcorn:.............

BTW anybody believe this thread will catch the number of posts on the current roundabout thread?

janmcn 02-15-2013 08:19 PM

This might not be such a problem if there were more dog parks available in The Villages.

How would that help the "problem"?

Because you are blessed with delightful neighbors.

Now, THAT"S what we could have, a Delightful Neighbor Appreciation Day.
We could yell, "I pre-she-ate yoo!" until we're giddy. Maybe make homemade buttons and stuff. (I'm serious.)

...I think I had too much sugar today.
(I'm serious.)

Perhaps more people would walk their dogs in the dog parks, not in the neighborhoods. Allowing two dogs per household, but not having areas set aside for the pets does not make sense.

But The Villages does set aside areas for pets, from the Patio Villa owners all the way up to Premier home owners, it is called "your own backyard". You want to take your dog out for a walk, make sure he takes care of business on your own property instead of using everyone else's.

Serenoa 02-15-2013 09:06 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing sidewalks in front of neighborhood homes, so aren't people walking their dogs out in the street? And if that's the case for what reason should a dog be allowed in anyone's yard to begin with? If you can't control where your dog walks you shouldn't own one. JMHO

shcisamax 02-15-2013 09:10 PM

So are people adverse to the dogs pooping in the street.....as long as the owner cleans it up? That solves the problem of people feeling their property is being disrespected.

Happinow 02-15-2013 09:22 PM

Why oh why.....
 
Do SOME dog owners let their pets poop and pee on other people's lawns?
Do SOME dog owners not let the dog do his business in their own yards and then take the for a walk?
Do SOME owners let them poop in the cul de sac circles for others to see when the are eating their meals at their kitchen table?
Do SOME dog owners bring their pets to eat outside with them at restaurants?
Do SOME dog owners put their pets in shopping carts where we put our food?
Do SOME dog owners let their dogs bark a lot outside and not be considerate of their neighbors?
Do SOME dog owners think we like their pets as much as they do?
Do SOME dog owners bring their pets to very crowded events?
Do SOME pet owners stroll their pets in a stroller?

I just wonder......

I've seen sidewalks in some of the villages south of 466A but I don't think it makes a difference as some pet owners have those extending leashes that allows their pet to roam a good distance.
I don't live in TV yet. I will be there in the near future though and it would **** me off to see someone's pet **** on my lawn. I wouldn't want to put anything down that could be dangerous for the animals but in case it does I would put a couple of motion detector sprinklers around to ward them off.

I believe they're called RETRACTABLE leashes......which makes it VERY easy to control where your dog goes. There's no good excuse not to.

I would add to my earlier post that before I go through the expense of putting down sprinklers I would have a talk with the poopertrator first. If that doesn't work...spritz

Billethekid, I'm with you. I'm quite tired of being lumped in--assumed to be in the MINORITY of dog owners who do blah, blah, blah bad with their dogs when in fact I go out of my way to keep my dog's doings private and so do most dog owners I see around our neighborhood.

We have someone walking his dog before daybreak (or else I would see them) and letting it dog poop in our yard and leaving it. We can tell the difference between their little dog's you-know-what and ours by the size. We need a back hoe for ours. If and when I ever catch this, I will speak to them. So I know the frustration of people who can't catch this happening.

Still, it's not fair to assume we're all inconsiderate when in fact, it's a small minority.

There's a billion dogs here. If the majority of dog owners didn't pick up after them, you would not be able to walk the streets here without stilts.

Sprinklers are a gateway weapon.

But you are right, Gracie. The infractions are few. They stand out more because so few people allow their dogs to commit them. When you encounters one, it stands out.

And I say keep bringing on the same old debates. There's usually a fresh take in each one. Plus someone mentioned it's usually a new poster. Since doing a search and reading through a thousand former posts would be exhausting, maybe this will keep ongoing probems in the forefront.
