Help protect your neighbors lawn if you have a dog.......
 
I have been in TV for five years and have moved once. We have a sweet Black Lab dog and walk him most every morning. We always clean up after him no matter where he decides to do his thing. One other thing we do is carry a half gallon milk jug filled with water. Once the dog urinates or marks on a fire hydrant or a lawn we simply use the water to pour on the spot therefore lessening the possible brown spot that is created. I have seen only one other person doing this. I wish more dog owners would. We spend a lot of money keeping lawns beautiful in TV. Just a suggestion.:smiley:

OK, but who's gonna do it for every wild animal that goes in the yard? Or the birds? It's not just dogs who do their thing outside. And there are not a lot of yellowed or browned lawns from it.

How about just not letting your dog go onto other people's property?

The OP has a good idea though.

I admire your efforts, op. But I'very never understood the concerns about yard browning. Our dog pees in our yard (our yard only.:) ) and we've never had brown spots.

Why do dog owners even THINK it's OK for their dog to use someone else's yard?

I wish someone would pick up after the wild rabbits.

I'm retired. I'll do it. Just give me a call.

Our lab considers rabbit poop a delicacy!

Because they think their "precious angel" should go where he/she wants.

How about draining your dog on your own property then taking Fido for a walk.

You evidently do not have a dog. Dogs, mark where other dogs have been. If I walk him in the neighborhood am I to just make sure he goes in the street?:doggie: He goes in my yard and I do the same thing.

My large dog goes every time in my yard before we leave but most large breed dogs mark where other dogs have been. Guess I will start letting him go in the street and let the walkers step in it.
