Ask any vet what they think of dog parks and you will probably get the same answer as we got, stay away from them.

If you have a dog, you probably walk it in a baby carriage.

Before their advice we used the one in DeSoto the day after it opened and it was a disgusting mess, poop all over the place not only within the fenced area but along the sidewalk. Can't blame the dogs. Never went back and never will, we exercise him on the walking trails like most people do.

I hope this doesn't mean you will use my front lawn as a dog crapper. I have had to deal with the total disrespect as dog owners use my front lawn as a crapper and when confronted they shoved their poop bag in my face and said it was all right because it was a small poop. There is supposed a responsible dog owners club in the villages these irresponsible dog owners should join it and learn to be responsible dog owners.

Did you not read my last sentence?????? Dogs poop in my front yard every day and as long as they pick it up it does not bother me, in 4 years there has been no damage to my St. Augustine lawn due to dog urine or poop.

My dog would eat a baby carriage. He's far from being a lap dog.

This thread is about dog parks, not your front lawn. Your post is yards off topic, so to speak.

Even when we were between dogs we've always been tolerant of other peoples' dogs going in our yard as long as they picked up the poop. I wouldn't be crazy about dogs going all over our yard, but right beside the road tends to be fair game. I get why people without dogs don't like it, but we do live in a community with lots of dog owners so it pays to be tolerant with reasonably responsible dog walkers. Just my .02.
