There no room to properly let you pet run and safely exercise do it business and follow community standards.
These dog parks harbor who knows what parishes fleas ect ect
again you see it everyday someone going down the cart path Fido on a leash running along side while owner sits in cart
..No potty bag in hand

Pushing the poor thing around in a carriage just to show off at the square is laughable, feel sorry for the poor thing

I have been a pet owner my whole life till coming here..
I could never subject a dog to such limited space heat it's the humane thing to do

My dogs are not unhappy. We have a yard, bird cage and pool for them to exercise. They are taken on 3 long walks per day. Most of the dogs here are very small and do not need that much exercise. As far as the heat and humidity they stay in the air conditioning.

Check your deed restrictions.

This is very true but people tend to believe that if the county says "control" that supersedes the deed restrictions, "IT DOES NOT" All dogs are to be on leashes when outside of the home including dogs owned by the privileged.

I'm not sure what parishes are, however most responsible dog owners have their dogs on flea, heartworm and tick prevention. Our dogs are safe and happy, socializing at DDRR on ten fenced acres.

And dog parks are full of them as not all park users have their dogs on prevention.

I guess we've been lucky for the last eleven years that we've been using DDRR.

I solved my situation for the moment and met some really nice people. The two mistakes that a dog owner let their precious pet or pet's leave on our lawn were mysteriously gone after I had a very nice talk with some of the walkers. We did not pick it up! Its something, the same people and dogs every day on our side of the road, when they see us having coffee and talking with neighbors they go to the other side of the street as if that would stop me from having a civility class with these inconsiderate idiots. Suddenly they have taken another route. I don't miss them a lot, not yet.

I think the thing that sealed the deal was when I pointed out on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being no good, how would you rate your feeling if I did that on your lawn tonight under the cover of darkness and left the gift for you like you did for me. Each one of them were stunned but you could see them conjuring a mental image that once you have it you can't unsee it. Case Closed. Pool Time. Wake up Johnny its your dog not mine.

For the #1 problem bring a Straw cause we don't want that gift either.

People walk dogs in the darkness of night also, you can't be out there 24 hours a day. Lots of dogs pee on our grass but so far no damage, haven't found any poop yet, most people pick it up as they don't know who is looking.

Given enough time, every thread ends up being about dog poop.

That's about when the moderators end it.

Every dog complaint thread tuns into a combination of poop and leash complaints.
While most dog owners treat their neighbors with respect, apparently there are a few bad apples who ruin it for everyone.
Into all lives, a little rain must fall.
