I’ve owned pets throughout my life, and it never let them go to the bathroom and someone else’s yard.

Dogs need to walk, and despite using their own yards, walking and the scents of other dogs will stimulate their need to “go”. As for walking around the lake, it’s a great way to feed a gator, so no lake walking for good reason.

If the dog owner cleans up after the dog and there is no tell tale sign, what’s the big deal. No harm, no foul. If you weren’t home, you would never know.

Yeah, we sure did. Some of them appreciated it and thanked us for the warning.

the one thing that dog owners fail to realize is it even when you pick up your dog's business ,unless you take the soil and grass along with the discharge you are not getting it all. After years of animals using the same area the build up is quit extensive to the point where the soil should be replaced, as an X dog owner I have first hand knowledge of this ,so after your trip to the dog parks and you fail to wash off the dogs feet or their bodies if they have been rolling around in the dirt, they will drag into your carts and home all the discharge they have been playing in.

Whenever we saw a potential buyer looking at a corner lot, we would warn them that they would get a lot of dog crap in their yard.

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

I bought a corner lot, had you approached me before the purchase…….I would have assumed you to be a crazy busybody.

I guess I always lived in much more tolerant places. I get sick of hearing about it. I guess when you put a bunch of elderly people in one place you get all the crabby worry worts concentrated. I would not know if a dog peed in my yard. I do not watch out my windows 24/7. I will not feel bad about my opinion. I guess I just do not have time to worry about it. It’s like every 2 weeks on here.

Your perception of people adverse to animals is, in reality, mostly a result of some dog owners who seem to feel entitled to trespass onto neighboring yards and use said yards as dog potties. Most of these issues would be resolved if folks would just stay off any yard they don't own.
Whether Fido pees or poops, and whether you pick up his "marbles" is mostly irrelevant. The problem is neither you nor Fido should be on the neighbors lawn to begin with. Simply put, I stay out of your yard, and you should stay out of mine. Common courtesy and respect for you neighbors. And there are no excuses, like "dogs wander". Your dog is on a leash and can only go where you allow. 100% dog owners responsibility and within owners ability to control.

So if your pup has never used someone else’s yard to relieve themselves one of two things, you’ve never walked your dog on leash off your property or you put diapers on your Pup!!! Just remember one major thing, it’s Never the Pups fault, it’s always the Owners Fault!

Had several large dogs over the years. Never allowed them on neighbor's property. Not one paw. Your dog relieves itself on neighbor's yard, then you failed to control your dog. Nice of you to pick up the mess that never should have been there in the first place.
I do agree with you last sentence. Blame the owner, not the dog.

that is ridiculous...

Good for you! And 🔩 the realtor. They are only interested in the sale, not the best interest of the client.

It is my property, you didn't pay for it, you don't maintain it, you don't pay the property taxes, why is that so hard for dog owners to understand. It is the height of arrogance, conceit and entitlement when you trespass on another's property and expect them to accept your boorish behavior. I can guarantee that if you found someone setting in your parked golf cart taking a rest break you would be livid. I was raised to respect other people's property, seems like many dog owners never received that instruction by their parents. The moral values in this country have gotten pretty low.

Why?? Hit too close to home, perhaps??
This is, obviously, a very popular and necessary service to those who wish to participate in the dialogue. Every time the subject comes up it gets huge response. If you do not want to participate then you are free not to click on. But, even you felt compelled to read some if not all the comments and post.

Perfectly said. If only people would adhere to what you suggest. But it will not happen. I live on a corner lot. We spent a lot of money on landscaping to decorate the side property including rock walls. Dog owners allow their dogs to abuse my property everyday. Everyday! I've banged on windows, given dirty looks. To no avail. Most of these trespassers are from other streets and I don't know them. No I'm not going to run out and chase them up the street to tell the what they already know. Stay on your own property.

THANK YOU! The dog owners that you so eloquently address, will not listen.

Misleading. An easement allows emergency or utility workers the authority to enter your property for various reasons. A setback is a limit on the size of building for various reasons, like easements for utilities, etc. You own it, care for it, pay taxes on it. There just limits on what you can do with it. Kind of like "zoning" regulations.
If it was TV property, it would be maintained by TV, like all the other common areas.

You don't want to see the problem. Your dog! Your dogs per and poop! Your problem!
Keep off the neighbors lawn. It is not their problem! Use the street or gutter.
