Don't beat around the bush, just say what you mean out loud so all of your neighbors know your intentions. It sounds like you're suggesting that the Anti-Dog-Walker-Alliance should put chemicals on their lawn (specifically where dogs are allowed to be walked) to intentionally injur "or worse".

Wow, I hope karma isn't watching you closely, if so you're in big trouble.

How many times can this topic be discussed? Dogs walk, dogs poop. Responsible owners keep their dogs off of other’s property. Mine poops in the street and yes, I’m serious. I pick it up and bring it home. Mine can poop in my yard and then poop again on a walk ten minutes later. You know what they say, poop happens

My dog does his business in my yard and then we go for a walk.

Hmmm let me see....dogs have been around as long as I can remember. But one thing I remember was growing up in MN suburbs I don't remember anyone ever walking a dog! They either had fenced in yards or they would go out with the dog in their yard to let it do it's thing(even in sub zero temps). I believe that now days walking a dog has to do more with the owner(wanting to show off or them wanting to be seen and possibly meeting someone they are not familiar with)

Well bless your heart 🙄

Please Google what dog poop and urine does to grass before you make this kind of comment. And for many it's not just grass they let their dogs go and poop in their landscaping. Very inconsiderate from a bunch of very entitled people.

You're right. I just don't see why it's so hard for people follow what you do. If you own a dog and it has to crap in someone elses yard, you shouldn't own a dog. Btw, I own 2 Labs and they go in my yard

Not all of us have dogs and don’t like seeing them poop in our yards, even if it is picked up because it leaves residue. I don’t like walking in my yard near the street because of this. Just my thoughts since I don’t have dogs.

Just because you have your dog pee/poop in your own yard before setting out for a walk (we always do), doesn't mean they won't do it again while out on said walk...

Sh*t happens...

Another dog poop post 🤣🤣🤣
So I actually do walk my dog around the front yard so she can poop and it can be cleaned up. And I can also throw the poop away in my trashcan versus having to carry it on a walk. But honestly, is it that big of a deal if the dog poops in your yard and they pick it up and haul it away. And if it is that big of a deal, why did you buy in a pet friendly neighborhood?
For what it’s worth, there’s a lot of great pet owners, and The Villages. And there are some that are not good pet owners, and do not clean up after their pet. But honestly, I wouldn’t be bitching about people who clean up after their pet I’d be bitching about those who don’t clean up after their pet.
And isn’t it nice if this is your biggest problem you have to deal with🤣🤣🤣

How many times? Are you familiar with the phrase "Ad Nauseam"?

So does mine. But sometimes she pees/poops again while on said walk...

Most homes in TV aren't fenced... And leaving a dog outside in a veranda home or a CY Villa is dangerous for the dog...

Dogs need daily exercise. How do you suggest they get said exercise without walking them?

When you were "growing up in MN", odds are you played with your dog outside.

I'd wager that is just a tad more difficult in a 55+ community...

Please learn how to quote the post you're referring to when replying to said post... No one has a clue what "this kind of comment" means...

Nonsense... Unless you use some sort of cork, I don't believe you...
