Yep. Easement are dedicated for specific uses.

You may be right. However, if I have to maintain it in good order, then I should have the right to complain about anyone destroying it, right?

I have never seen poop bags tossed on the ground here. I do see LOTS of cigarette butts everywhere. Even piles of them that appear to be dumped from someone’s “ash tray”. They will stay there forever or at least until someone, like me, picks them up. I never see threads about cigarette butts. I wonder why?

I love animals, but since I spend a substantial amount of money on my lawn to keep it looking nice, I prefer that owners of pets take their little critters elsewhere to do their business. I know they understand because they do not allow them to do their business in their own yards.
So you follow them to their house?!

This lie keeps popping up? I bought my whole lot. I paid for the grass and plants, the irregation system, the soil the grass and plants are planted in. I pay the taxes on all of it. I pay for the maintenance. It is not " up for grabs", any more than your car parked in your driveway. It is simple to respect your neighbors. Just stay off the lawn because it is not yours!

It sounds like someone else looking to move into that "pet free" village!!!

Why can't folks have the dog poop on their own lawn and then go for walk.
We had a poop place in our backyard for our dog to poop.
I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this.
you wrote the word poop five times....just sayin

You would be much happier living in a community that does not allow pets.

Since you were a previous dog owner I would assume you walked your dog. The walk and the scents from other dogs can give them the urge to poop. I carry bags with me and mine commonly prefers the street and I do not allow her to go on other people’s lawns. It’s part of owning a dog. This subject comes up frequently and I get your frustration. All I can do is control what my own dog does and she does not do “it” ….pee or poop, on anyone else’s lawn. She uses her own yard but walks do encourage “going”.

You clearly need to buy a home in a rural area with no neighbors close by!

WRONG!
Easement/right of way only provides acces to essential service employees to repair or maintain said equipment. It does NOT apply to the general public! You can still be charged with trespassing.
Be a good neighbor. Keep off the grass!

Streets and sidewalks and dog parks. What more do you need?

By the way, the easement is NOT owned by TV. It is private property. The easement simply grants utility and essential service worker access to repair or service equipment. Dog walkers are tresspassers.

I once had a dog named "Stay". I would say "come here, Stay". But, that dog was impossible to train.
The problem isn't the poop which can easily be cleaned up by responsible pet walkers, but rather the urine which burns out the grass and cannot be cleaned up. I echo the recommendation for dog owners to have their dogs poop and pee in their own yards before walking them. We have two large dogs and that is what we do out of respect for our neighbors.

Dogs poop
 
Most dogs need to walk and smell for “the right place to go”. I totally understand that people don’t want dogs to go on their lawns. I have a dog and as soon as I see him squatting, I put the bag under his butt and catch it before it hits the ground. It’s no big deal and it’s easier then picking it up afterward. In NY it can get very ugly if your dog goes on someone’s lawn. This method keeps everyone happy.

You are wrong on that fact. The “easements” that are marked on your plat map are for the utilities companies to have access to that part of YOUR PROPERTY to do maintenance and service on their underground lines and equipment. It is limited and specific and does not in any way imply that this part of the property does not belong to the homeowner. You need to familiarize yourself with easement rights. It does not extend to the general public, it is not owned by The Villages. If you take your dog onto any part of your neighbors yard to do it’s business you are trespassing.

Guess I’m a little confused. If a dog poops on your lawn & they pick it up, how would you know if a dog pooped on your lawn? We don’t live there anymore but I really think pet owners are very polite & pick up after their pet. One time in 8 yrs. I noticed poop in my yard. The next day it was gone. So I don’t understand your complaint!

OK---I get to make the 100th post on this thread, which may very well be the 100th dog poop thread.

Dogs Pooping
 
Consideration might be given to the fact that intestines work similarly and that a little bit of exercise might help them work.

Another thought Is pulling a pet animal along while the pet is trying to poop just looks wrong. Other thoughts include considerations for constipation and diarrhea issues. How many dog owners are experts in bowel and bladder pet functions. It would be good to hear from a couple of Veterinarians to help with this recurring Dog Poop concern.

We came from N. Florida, about 20 minutes out from Live Oak - very rural, heavily wood.

All those coyote's, squirrels, gopher turtles, hawks, owls, deer, possums, bears, mountain lions - all pooping on our yard, and NO one to complain about it too. Much better here, we can come on here and complain.

And at least the alligators, bears, possums, birds, raccoons here never poop on our grass!

GizmoWhiskers 10-03-2022 10:30 AM
Pooping on command in Villa housing would be an interesting thing to teach a dog. Usually dogs need to walk to get their bowels moving but if they will do it on command... great!. Poop bags, a civil "dooty"... they do contribute to climate change right?... so there's that.

jimmy o 10-03-2022 10:30 AM
As long as owner cleans up I feel there is nothing to gripe about. Our dog is kept on our property but when passing pups use our lawn it is no big deal the owner always picks it up. Also remember that is not really your lawn that’s being pooped on. Your property line does not go all the way to street, your lot line is 12-15 feet back. So for the most part the pooper is using public property. So maybe you can call the police and complain that a dog pooped on public easement and the owner picked it up. I would love to hear their response.

You miss the point entirely. Picking up is good but never completely gets it all. The scent remains and draws others. The point is someone entered your property and used it ( not just used it. Dumped sewage on it) without your permission and without giving you the opportunity to refuse. That is utterly disrespectful best. What if they use your car without asking? Your property, is that okay with you?

RCMill531@comcast.net 10-03-2022 10:58 AM
I agree with you completely. We don’t have a dog at this point and I would never let my dog dirty someone else’s lawn. We are in a new neighborhood and apparently this is acceptable in The Villages.

that's an excellent point-it's the scent that attracts the other dogs. both pee & poop

that’s called a building envelope you have one on the side and back of your home (easements) guess you think I can walk a dog on the side of your house

It is my understanding that the "lot line" defines where your property starts. My front lot line is located about 10 feet from the street pavement. That 10 foot strip between the lot line and the pavement is called a right of way, not an easement. I don't believe that I own the right of way strip of land because it is outside of my lot line.

Note, that an easement is different from a right of way. The deed restriction document describes easements for utility companies, such as electric, water, and cable TV. Many of these utilities are not located on the right of way, but they are actually located on the homeowner's property. I have several cable TV cables and junction boxes that are on my property, but not on the right of way because they are inside the lot line. According to the deed restrictions, these utility companies have the right to enter my property to maintain their utilities. There are no easements marked on my property plat.

Yes, we have such contempt for our new neighbors who, when they first met our dog, she proceeded to victimize them and "drop a deuce" just over the property line on their lawn...

We apologized, and immediately cleaned it up, and they said, "Don't worry about it, it's what dogs do. Thanks for picking up after your dog..."

I've never felt such contempt from someone in my life!

Oh, wait... When we get invited over for drinks, they always tell us to "Bring Maggie!", who will immediately hop up in the gentleman's lap. He sits there with a big grin, as she falls asleep, having her belly scratched... The horror of it all...

And those other neighbors, who don't even own dogs, but carry treats for those walking their dogs past their homes.. How dare we let our dog go say hello that those victims! That's trespassing!

Prezactly! I have no respect for those who do not clean up after their pets.

From what I've seen, the vast majority do just that. They will carry poop bags and use them. Will SOME people be jerks? Most certainly. Several have proven that theory on this thread...

But just wait... Those who insist they didn't get every single microscopic particle and that will cause them to get some disease when they walk all over their lawn barefoot will be along shortly... Never mind that they water their lawn with pond water that has who knows what chemicals in it...

She needs to walk in order to poo. So we walk!! If that really bothers, then there are communities that are pet free. Maybe that would be better for those who find this to be a big problem. I couldn’t image spending my day watching to see if dogs are on my lawn. I think there are lots of other more fun things to do in TV.
Now you've done it... "Baby Girl"? Prepare to be mocked and accused of having emotional problems for comparing an ANIMAL to a "baby girl"...

I wonder if it has something to do with most folks not having a fenced backyard to allow their dogs out, so they must walk them? Any responsible owner will of course pick up.

My intention was not to insult anyone, just to make them aware that there is more to "sharing" a community than forcing others to accept one's intrusive transgressing and property damages, even if only minute in nature. Perhaps if a pet own is not confident in controlling their animal then they should consider allowing it to live in a better home, where the owner is better equipped to care for the little friend. Is it too difficult to learn to properly handle a pet, or is it just that the owner is too lazy to take a few minutes to learn? It's really not that difficult, unless you have a difficult pet. Kind of like raising children. Either you care for them properly or they remain undisciplined. I don't even consider it "tough love" to train the pet properly. Sorry, just my experienced opinion on the subject.
