Exactly why is this a big deal?

If I had a dog, I would make the effort to have them use my own yard. However, I don’t get why dog walkers, who DO carry plastic bags, don’t ALSO carry a small squirt bottle of water to dilute the area. Wouldn’t this help, for several reasons?

It amazes me that with everything The Villages has to offer, you prefer to sit at your front window waiting to watch a dog pee.

Another miserable Villagers rambling on, that's why I barely ever look at this useless forum. Thanks for confirming why I can't stand it.

The Villages is the worst place I’ve lived regarding animal haters. It’s telling about the type of person you are. Dogs sniff. Dogs pee and poop and they do it when they need/want to. I have a CYV and my dogs are out there at various times of day, doing what they do and when we go on a walk, it’s not going to stop them from sniffing and peeing/pooping in a yard if they need to. Thankfully, my neighborhood is pet friendly and you live somewhere else. TV is full of not only dogs but plenty of wildlife. Nobody asked you to move here and if you hate it leave.

You obviously know very little about the subject. Dogs typically urinate as soon as they are outside if they need to. It will occur on the owners property. After the initial urination, while walking, the animal will stop and mark the territory with droplets. No harm to plants or grass. I’m fine with this. Regarding “pooping”, there’s no way to know when a dog will poop. A good owner bags it in totality and moved on. If they don’t, then I have a problem with them. No way would I use a dog park. I’ve seen too many dogs ignored as they become aggressive towards other dogs. Do the other dogs have their required shots? To walk on the MMP’s I still have to walk thru my neighborhood to get there. Like all things, there are considerate owners and the opposite. If I see a small sign in a yard asking me not to let my dog near their perfect landscaping (in the owners mind), I make sure to move past the yard as asked. Done for now!

Hopefully, you were able to train them not to go in your house? It is a manner of training isn't it?

He must walk to a common area spot to go. It’s simply a matter of training. You can train a dog to keep their head up when walking. If their head is up, they can’t sniff. If they can’t sniff, they won’t go. It’s as simple as that.
