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!!!!!!!!

Apparently, the problem continues or has started in some areas. So will the topic.

So, do you think a person who lets their dog on other people’s property is going to CARE ENOUGH to find out how they feel about it? And do a search? I think not!

And we want to know how current is the problem now.

We almost always walk in the road, occasionally hopping on the grass when traffic comes. BUT... Dogs, being dogs, they will let you k ow when they have to do what they have to do.

My dog has never gone in the street and we'll let her go a foot off the curb.

If that makes us horrible people, I'll proudly wear that badge...

The person who started this thread is not the person you just described...

Oh, and yes, you are WRONG. We ALWAYS walk our dog in our own yard first, before venturing out... Most times, she does her business there. Sometimes, not...

Maybe you're able to crap on command, but I've found most dogs haven't mastered that trick...

Now, will you admit that the blowhards who swear they'll turn on their sprinklers form their phones or set of their alarms or shoot BBs at dogs are full of crap?

If you curbed your dog and kept them off the neighbors yard, then you didn't fail. Too many are not totally honest about this issue.
As to the sprinklers, alarms and BBs, I believe it is wrong to take your anger out on the dog. The owner is 100% responsible for the dog and it is the owner who deserves the consequences of their actions.

No, I failed because I had the unmitigated gall to let my dog encroach 12" onto someone's lawn and then promptly picked up the toxic waste...

I failed because I didn't first knock on the door to ask permission...

I'm a horrible human being. I don't know how I'll live with the shame...

And those "consequences" would be?

LOL. That is not quite what I meant. The potty area worked for us because we didn't have to worry about our dogs doing their business all over our property. I know people who would let their dogs into their fenced in back yard and there would be dog poop everywhere. It was like a mine field.

The OP clearly titled the post. So, no need to tap/click on it...

That depends totally on the person you trespass against and their mood at any given moment.
Hypothetically, if fences were allowed and you were walking your dog in the street, as you do, and they squatted right there in the gutter, what would you do? Would you let them complete their function in the gutter or carry them over the fence and into the yard? I ask because where there is a property line there is an implied imaginary fence for every lot. In my case my lot is on a corner with a sidewalk on one side. It is a major traffic thuroughfare with lots, and I mean lots of dog walkers. Most make more than one trip per day. Most allow, and many actually direct, their dogs into my yard to sniff until they find the scent that triggers the urge to purge. The few dogs that are not alowed to sniff the grass never seem to need to go. Funny how that works. You are only walking one dog, so to you its no big deal. But I get,quite literally, dozens of poo and pee dumps daily. I can be watching Barney Fife, trying to enjoy my chili dog when some SOB drags his dog into my yard and let's him/her deposit a familiar looking heaping helping right in plain view. At that moment my normal warm feelings toward my fellow man seem to cool somewhat.
So you see, it's not about you and your small indiscretion, it's about the innumerable times it happens each and every day throughout the community and through the country.

I feel your pain. Glad we don't live on a corner!

I can't imagine the mess left on corner lots.

We chose a corner lot to give us extra space. People do try to clean up, but it is impossible to get it all. I do appreciate the effort, but I would prefer they would not come onto the grass (or what's left of it). Also, the number of animals traipsing across the yard every day create trails over time and that further degrades the lawn. I got what I paid for, why do others feel they should get to use it?
