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:
|
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? btk |
dog owners good point.but see it going on in all neighborhoods

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.

This worked for me....
Put out an ensey weensy sign that says "Please NO Pets"....It worked!:MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:
|
Or a sign that says "dogs welcome" for those who are a bit less persnickety.

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. |
my point exactly

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 btk |
my point
exactly my point .don't pay to have lawn fertilized ,cut,weeded,to be used as a toilet.
|
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.
|
my feelings
exactly private property keep off the grass.simple as that.

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: |
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. |
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. |
Bill, I will offer :popcorn::popcorn:.............
BTW anybody believe this thread will catch the number of posts on the current roundabout thread? |
This might not be such a problem if there were more dog parks available in The Villages.

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.) :) |

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
|
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.
|
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 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 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 |

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. |

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. |
