So are people adverse to the dogs pooping in the street.....as long as the owner cleans it up? That solves the problem of people feeling their property is being disrespected.

Do SOME dog owners let their pets poop and pee on other people's lawns?
Do SOME dog owners not let the dog do his business in their own yards and then take the for a walk?
Do SOME owners let them poop in the cul de sac circles for others to see when the are eating their meals at their kitchen table?
Do SOME dog owners bring their pets to eat outside with them at restaurants?
Do SOME dog owners put their pets in shopping carts where we put our food?
Do SOME dog owners let their dogs bark a lot outside and not be considerate of their neighbors?
Do SOME dog owners think we like their pets as much as they do?
Do SOME dog owners bring their pets to very crowded events?
Do SOME pet owners stroll their pets in a stroller?

I just wonder......

I've seen sidewalks in some of the villages south of 466A but I don't think it makes a difference as some pet owners have those extending leashes that allows their pet to roam a good distance.
I don't live in TV yet. I will be there in the near future though and it would **** me off to see someone's pet **** on my lawn. I wouldn't want to put anything down that could be dangerous for the animals but in case it does I would put a couple of motion detector sprinklers around to ward them off.

I believe they're called RETRACTABLE leashes......which makes it VERY easy to control where your dog goes. There's no good excuse not to.

whatever...
I would add to my earlier post that before I go through the expense of putting down sprinklers I would have a talk with the poopertrator first. If that doesn't work...spritz

It is so easy to cure...just talk to the one's that do it on your property....I gurantee they will not stop by your place again....on to someone else's yard they will go.

Also if you know your sprinler zone numbers, turn them on when the perp and pup are on your lawn

btk

Billethekid, I'm with you. I'm quite tired of being lumped in--assumed to be in the MINORITY of dog owners who do blah, blah, blah bad with their dogs when in fact I go out of my way to keep my dog's doings private and so do most dog owners I see around our neighborhood.

We have someone walking his dog before daybreak (or else I would see them) and letting it dog poop in our yard and leaving it. We can tell the difference between their little dog's you-know-what and ours by the size. We need a back hoe for ours. If and when I ever catch this, I will speak to them. So I know the frustration of people who can't catch this happening.

Still, it's not fair to assume we're all inconsiderate when in fact, it's a small minority.

There's a billion dogs here. If the majority of dog owners didn't pick up after them, you would not be able to walk the streets here without stilts.

I went off on it when I was new, too. Silly me. That's when I was first encouraged to use the old search button.

Long before I came along, TOTV surmised that the majority of dog owners in TV are responsible and considerate human beings.

The blankety-blank other dog owners are likened to pond scum.
In most cases, they are not 'candidates for enlightenment', so you can get all verklempt, or bite the countertop, but THEY won't change and you'll still be verklempt.
Ask me, I know.

I finally sprinkled red pepper flakes on the perimeter of my lawn before the last regular 'poopetrator' brought his dog for it's daily territorial visit .
The dog took a sniff and kept on going. After two visits my address was avoided.
That might be an idea. Meantime, we understand.

You are my hero.

Sprinklers are a gateway weapon.
Today sprinklers

I love our neighborhood dogs, here and in Hadley.

I am sorry that so many folks have difficulty.

I also want to say that I haven't ever seen people let their cats out to wander about here. They would be prey for the coyotes and hawks.

Life on this forum wouldn't be right without a dog poop thread, a roundabout thread, an IRS thread and discussion of guns, none of which we will all completely agree upon.

We are a bunch of stubborn older people, yes we are.

Uptown, I didn't mean to challenge anything you said. You are the cats pajamas. We posted simultaneously.

But you are right, Gracie. The infractions are few. They stand out more because so few people allow their dogs to commit them. When you encounters one, it stands out.

And I say keep bringing on the same old debates. There's usually a fresh take in each one. Plus someone mentioned it's usually a new poster. Since doing a search and reading through a thousand former posts would be exhausting, maybe this will keep ongoing probems in the forefront.

They would take their dog to the dog park, every time the dog had the urge? That don't make sense.

Several of your "questions" seem out of order. I know from previous posts that you don't care for dogs, and that you don't have one. I think you try to deny dog owners' rights that even Florida laws allow. It doesn't sit well with us responsible dog owners. I'm just sayin'.
