I don't mind dogs pooping on my lawn as long as it is picked up and their pee does not harm St. Augustine grass as my dog pees on ours a lot and never had a brown spot from it. On the other hand I'm really glad that there are no Canada Geese in Fenney as we live on water. Lived with those things for years in Ohio and they make a huge mess that dogs seem to want to roll in. I'll live with the occasional dog poop.
PS, I agree that they should not be off leash or in courts, etc. I quit telling people the rules as one lady gave me the finger, and a gentleman threatened me. Too many concealed carries in Florida to get involved anymore. |

I agree they should NOT be inside the courts either pickleball or tennis. Plenty areas to walk dog outside the fences and common areas. I once played tennis with guy that brought his Austrian terrier to courts with him. He told the dog to set and it never moved till he was done and they walked out together. I figure .001 percent of dogs are that well trained.

A dog needs only the smallest of areas to do its business. Do it at your home then go for a walk. We do.

That is not true. There are parties I know of that have had numerous complaints filed against them for exactly that and each time they call they are referred to animal control that does absolutely nothing, the police will not show up.

[QUOTE=Martian;1686811]I am a dog owner (2 large dogs) and I did not take the original post as accusing all dog owners of this, but as a comment directed to all dog owners. The use of CAPITALS in the title gave me a sense of the OP's frustration over what appears from their description to be an unreasonable dog owner (we haven't heard the other side yet - so, we don't know anything for sure).
It is certainly easy for tempers to flare when irritations occur over and over and communications don't seem to make progress. I completely agree with you that the majority of dog owners are responsible and want to "get along" with their neighbors. I will go the other way also, and say that the majority (98.324%) of residents that do not own dogs are easy to get along with and don't mind dogs walking on their grass, or park, or wherever. And then there are the reasonable people that just don't want the animals on their property. Guess what everyone, it's THEIR property. There is nothing unreasonable about their desire for whatever reason. There was a breakout of a very contagious disease in California a while back (about the time we got our Labrador). The disease was transmitted from breeder to breeder by people carrying the contagion on their shoes. Our breeder went to great lengths to ban anyone that did not have their feet sterilized before entering her property - that was a "reasonable" thing to do in her case. My point is we are all in this together, it will be a much more enjoyable ride if we try to get along.[/QUO /////

I love dogs. My neighbors' dogs use our yard and it is fine with us. However, I feel the need to jump in here.
I have heard others claim that easements allow people to walk across your lawn. Easements allow utilites, etc access to install and maintain equipment, including pipes and wires. They do not allow just anyone onto your property. The fact that dogs are allowed in TV, is not an indication that you can take them anywhere you want. Thank you for your attention. |

DOG WALKERS The Courts are NOT A DOG PARK
Frontage easements, typically a water main will add 6-7 feet to your maintenance frontage. That easement is no way the homeowners property. Your survey and a tape measure will verify this.
The benefit to being on an easement side of the street is a greater front setback to the street and a longer driveway. Still, no excuse for a dog walker not respecting what you maintain. Corner house owners know this all to well thinking adding a pool or an extension will be allowed. "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears..."

The best one my wife told me about this week was that she was playing pickleball and some lady brought her dog into the court area and she wanted to play! She asked people who were not actively playing at the time if they would hold the dog's leash (on the court where people wait to play) while she played. Nobody agreed so she hooked the leash to the fence and went out to play. The entire time she was playing the dog barked and barked and barked. My wife finished up her game and left. Unbelievable ! Actually worse than the couple I saw at the square with their large dog on a leash dancing. A couple years ago, I saw an elderly gentleman fall over a dog at Lake Sumter Square because of the same thing.
I know you love your dogs but act a little sensible at least
