These threads should really be called…
“Stubborn, entitled and inconsiderate dog owner threads!”

If one has a dog, this can be done easily and everyone will be happy.

I appreciate the trouble you go to with the "bag". But, if you are still using the neighbor's yard without expressed permission, you are still trespassing. Trespassing is inherently disrespectful of that neighbor and their property by usurping their land for your use.
Dogs do not need to walk in order to relieve themselves. After many years traveling on small boats, I have seen how well they adapt to having a small spot of carpet, like a cat has a litter box, for their toilet. Many of the places we traveled to we're not safe to go ashore. The only reason a dog really needs to walk is for exercise.
🐶 Good dog!

That is correct! But, "dog poop" is shorter. Unless it is a verrrry large dog.

Lots of major issues, most of which you have absolutely no control over. Local trespassing and disrespectful neighbors is something that is occuring daily right here. Something that affects the quality of life here for many. Its worth talking about.

“which you have absolutely no control over” applies to dog poop threads as well.

He can complain all he wants, he maintains that area, so he has the right!
Mr. dewilson - don't cut the area of your grass you say it's not property and see what happens to you. :ho:

Still Clueless.

The OP said his yard.............there is a good chance it's NOT his yard.

I'm suggesting he learn where the property line is because a lot of Villagers don't know.

Did I say anything about the OP stop complaining..........Nope. Again, clueless.

I want to get along, but they won’t see my side, because they claim it’s a nothing burger because they clean up after the dogs. They miss the point. I would like to hear y’all’s thoughts. 🥃🥃
I’ve owned pets throughout my life, and it never let them go to the bathroom and someone else’s yard.

Thanks for the transparent of quality of live at the villages

Dog owners - please reply as to why you think you have the right to use property you don't own as your dogs bathroom? Bet you -no dog owner will answer this!!!!!!

It’s just processed dog food! A hose will wash it away. Or just ignore it. Do you cut your own grass?

If they pick up after the dog, so what. It’s a dog. When It has to go it has to go. Are they supposed to walk around your yard? Seems like you’re being overly not picky.

I can handle myself just concerned about people who hide behind keyboards and then are met with harsh reality when their bulldog mouth overloads their chihuahua a$$

Sometimes they took us seriously, but usually they didn't.

You have now been crowned the Villages poop minister. Keep getting that word out and saving souls from the evil carnage that is dog poop

I'm trying to imagine my (or anyone else's) reaction, while looking at a home, having a neighbor burst into the conversation with warnings about dog poop.
If possible, I'd first concern myself with avoiding that particular individual's neighborhood, more to avoid that person that over worry about dog poop.
Then maybe visit a few developed neighborhoods, expecting to see piles everywhere. I've never actually seen piles anywhere, in any neighborhood I've visited.
I do believe I'd come to the conclusion that I'd met a crackpot.
