This is great. Where do you live? It will be so refreshing to have an assigned yard to take our dog to.

Pee evaporates or is absorbed by the ground. No, it does not burn the grass.

Most dog owners I see pickup after their dogs. Some do not.

To those who don’t, I wish that the next bout of “the runnies” your dog gets is on your bed.

To all the responsible dog owners who pickup after their dogs, thank you.

Whether the dogs owner picks up the poo or not, ideally, should not be my problem since their dog should not have been on my lawn in the first place. The dog can only be on the lawn if the owner allows it. And, if the owner allowed it they are not responsible dog owners.

Now that is not fair. I love animals. Keep dog biscuits at my store and at my home (I do not have a dog). This doesn't mean I welcome anyones dogs to crap and urinate on my lawn.

I no longer complain about those that allow their dogs to use my lawn as a toilet. I have my sprinklers controlled by my smart phone AP and record the action with my security camera for repeated laughs.

Love dogs! Hate dog owners using my yard as a public dog toilet!

If you lived in a community that did not allow domestic animals your problem is solved.

The Villages is fine for me.

When I see anyone with a dog breaking the rules, I confront them immediately and then I report them to the Sumter County Animal Control Commission in Sumterville.

For example, one of our neighbors had their dog off-leash and the dog came very close to us barking very aggressively. I yelled at the owner and we had a very heated confrontation.

I reported him to the Commission. The next time I saw him, his dog was on a leash.

Can you turn on sprinklers from the phone?
When you see the culprit coming wait till they get on your grass then turn on the sprinklers.
It does work.

Haven't you figured it out yet? It is not a problem with the dogs. It is a problem with the dog's owners. Don't blame the dogs. They are innocent bystanders in this mess. The owners should be tarred and feathered.

This thought has crossed my mind that some (not all) people can not for whatever reason bend over and pick up after their dog. When I just saw your comment you made me wonder if there is a product that could help responsible dog owners who want to pick up after their dogs but can't. There is. Here is a link to it - in case anyone knows anyone in this situation.

I don't blame the dogs. i own dogs. If these people going nuts over this situation lived in a place without dogs. They would not be getting aggravated. Tarred and feathered is an ignorant statement.

I recently noticed a Dog Owner walking his Dog on a neighborhood corner property. The owner appeared to be not paying any attention to the dog. After the dog pooped the dog owner walked away without picking up the poop. I backed up the car and informed the owner as he was walking away that he did not pick up the dogs poop!! He stated I always pick up the dogs poop!! I stated well you didnt pick it up this time. Pick up your dogs poop. He told me to go XXXX myself. Another day I was driving into my neighbor hood and I noticed the same owner again not picking up after his dog!!

THE VILLAGES is a beautiful place to live!! Our neighbors spend a great deal of money on maintaining their property to keep it looking nice.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG THEN WALK THE DOG ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S!!!!!!!!

As you have noticed you cannot reason with SOME PEOPLE. It is perhaps interesting that the dog knows by instinct not to go where it lives. The dog knows by instinct that it STINKS and carries disease. Truly simple, put down cayenne pepper. The dog will first sniff learn this is not a good place. .

The pepper washes aaway with rain or lawn watering. My dogs have never had a problem using my lawn. Dogs do not know it smells and certainly know it carries disease. You are very wrong.

As stated you cannot reason with SOME PEOPLE. If you walk YOUR dog on YOUR property-you do not have a problem. Yes, any of the repellents that work on smell need to be applied often.
