I know and would never imply that. My comment was directed at the irony of a sign being thought of as a problem in somebody yard but animal feces isn't. This is someday going to come to a head and it won't make people happy. Either it's going to be doggy diapers if you walk your dog or an end to dog walking outside of your property. You are free to make your own choices for your life and property – as long as it doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s right to their life or property.

They do make a dog repellant for lawns along sidewalks and roadways, don't know how well it works but might be worth a try as you'll never stop the offenders. My neighbors dog used to poop on our lawn and he wouldn't pick it up so I did and put it on his sidewalk going into his lanai, did it several times before he figured it out, that stopped the problem. I personally don't mind a dog pooping on our lawn as long as it gets picked up. Our home has St. Augustine and it doesn't seem to get hurt from dogs doing their business on it. Except for my neighbor I have never had to pick any dogs poop up from our yard and I mow every 4 days so if it was there I would see it. Dogs walking without leashes bothers me more than the poopers.

Well now it includes germs and being armed. Our cats are sitting here smugly reading over my shoulder. We like dogs very much but our two kitties will not allow them here. In fact, I am very suspicious of anyone who doesn't like dogs generally. The more I know about people, the better I like dogs. Cats run our home. We spend hours and hours removing their hair from all surfaces and watch them read the price label of their kitty food and turn up their noses in disdane. We KNOW why they were considered gods in Egypt. Sometimes they act like they love us, if they have time. We are their willing slaves. People are much better with a little furry companionship, attitude or no. IMHO.

This is really about lack of consideration of others.

When my grand dog visits I do let her go on anyone’s lawn.

Lack of consideration by many TV dog owners, and the result is many dog poop threads!

:confused: Did you mean "don't" or are you bragging about being a bad neighbor?

Do a search on dog poop, this has been going on for many years prior to July 2018. Come to a head?

I’ve seen signs removed from peoples lawns by the villages watch people, pick your battles, Gracigirl gave you some good advice. I’m a 2 dog owner and sometimes my dogs will go on a neighbors lawn and I always pick up their poop. The last thing you want to do is walk out your door with a loaded weapon that can make things go really bad really quickly.

I seriously doubt whether Community Watch could come on my property and remove something, not their job. No authority.

Sounds like a law suit in the making.

Dog poop
 

[QUOTE=TOMMY D;1587745]I guess I upset a dog owner by putting up two small metal no poop dog signs.

Here is some personal data we have seen.. We have had several pets, we like pets, we do not think it is best for a pet to be sort of caged up as in the Villages, sorry just our thoughts on the matter. If they get to free run in open spaces, that is much better. Every cat or dog we have had, likes to roam and explore, they deserve that. It is not easy here.
At a different location, we had a neighbor who let the pooch out after dark, he came over to our concrete porch to do it, big time. We had a neighbor who let his dog dig holes in our yard. We had a neighbor who let his dog bark, early am and late, very late pm. We currently see persons in cars and carts, dog in lap, no restraints, very dangerous practice, quite common here. On a recent cruise, we saw dog poop in the elevators, we saw dog poop in and on the access ramps and the disembarking ramps, a few deposits and young children were walking in it. We were "sitting" a friend's dog while they were away on Medical. A large dog nearby was running freely, came in our yard and almost instantly killed the dog we were caring for. On a bike we have to carry and have used pepper spray for dogs unleashed who will run out and try to grasp a foot on the pedals. In another state, I had to pepper spray the dog and then spray the charging owner. Amazing the rudeness and lack of responsibility of so many, why is it so blatant?

bbbbbb :pray:

I agree someone wanted them for their yard

I also get on my knees to pull weeds, especially torpedo grass, and I would be very, very furious if I pulled weeds smelling like dog crap.

I truly do not understand why dog owners think it is OK to have their dogs crap in other people's yards.

There are so many other things to worry about in the relatively few years we have left, don't let this bother you, enjoy those few years being positive. You're going to allow dog poop on your lawn shorten your enjoyable days, doesn't make sense.

:rolleyes: They are not thinking or only thinking about themselves.

I assume your dogs are leashed and they still go on a neighbors lawn?
What’s wrong with your lawn!
