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🤣🤣🤣

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

so they can do their pooping. A reasonable request to dog owners!! Take your dog outside and walk your dog around your yard, front yard, back yard, side yard where ever you like on your property until the dog poops. After the dog is done pooping make sure you pick up the poop and then take your dog for a walk on your block. Recently i noticed a owner who lives in the village of ashland on haretison ave walk his medium to large dog several houses down his block and make a turn onto crawford court walk several houses down and now his dog is pooping on my neighbors lawn. I mean really don't you feel bad your walking your dog and your dog is pooping on other peoples property. Why not allow your dog to poop on your next door neighbors lawn or the people that live accross the street from you. Please don't walk your dog 2 blocks away from your house and allow your dog to poop on someone elses lawn. We the homeowners, your neighbors who live in the villages pay to maintain our lawns. Watering, cutting, fertilzing, etc. Etc. Just like you do. We really don't want your dog pooping on our lawns. This message goes out to all dog owners.
Like i said earlier walk your dog on your property to do it's pooping!!!!
Not your neighbors lawn!!! Thank you in advance.

I don't know what kind of grass you have that dog poop and pee harms, our grass has no brown spots and it's beautiful and green. Maybe you need to feed and water it more to get it stronger. What really PO's me is smokers throwing their filtered cigarette butts in my lawn as the mowers don't pick it up and it ends up in pieces on my freshly mowed lawn. In closing, be glad you don't have Canada Geese hanging around your yard as they make a huge mess and they don't pick it up.

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

If not, it means they have been taught not to. If you do not know how to teach your pet how to behave, perhaps it's best to either learn from someone or give your pet to someone that is more responsible.
What you allow in your yard is your business. Just because another dog owner is more tolerant, does not mean that someone else MUST be of same mind when it comes to health and sanitation. Some of us mow our own lawns and do not wish to step on a neighbor's dog's residue and then track into our home.
Some dog owners will never understand, just like some folks that do not like or tolerate cats will never understand those that do. Anyone that assumes that it is ok for them to allow their dogs to relieve themselves on someone else's property, are irresponsible and selfish.
I wonder what a dog owner would think if I was to use my smart phone remote control of my sprinkler system to suddenly come on when they are in my yard. Would that be unreasonable? After all, it IS my property.
I love animals, but my property is my castle and I do not tolerate inconsiderate neighbors that believe they can drive on my lawn or walk their dogs on it. I use chemicals on my lawn and landscaping and I do not wish to harm animals. It is not my responsibility to "protect" or notify my dog owner neighbors when I treat my lawn. Believe me, I have had a neighbor request that I tell them when I treat my lawn so that they would not allow their dog to use my yard. I hope that my lack of response along with my incredulous look was sufficient.
Like I said before, I love animals but I do not believe that it is asking too much for other folks to respect a neighbor's property. If signs were allowed here, I would post a warning.
