Why can't your dog poop on your own lawn?

That’s weird, I don’t get why they take their dogs to the exact same spots to pee, multiple times per day. If they’re leaving their own property, why aren’t they walking their dogs more than just across the street? If I lived on the side without a sidewalk, I’d still walk my dog on my side of the street.

I don’t know how common this is in the DMV, but in my neighborhood, the HOA has contracted with a landscaping company to maintain those grass strips between the sidewalks and the streets. Homeowners don’t mow or maintain them, so we don’t feel any ownership of them.

They walk on the sidewalk and the dog goes on the strip. They don't just cross the street and come back, they go for a walk, but the dogs tend to relieve themselves on this same strip at the beginning of the walk and other dogs also find the scent so also pee there.

If you would walk on the sidewalkless side of the sidewalk do you let your dog pee in people's yards then?

I’d walk him on the street and mostly stay off the grass, but I would let him pee on the edge of a lawn. He wouldn’t be allowed to just wander into yards.

I think this is much worse than peeing on the strip. I would not want a dog peeing on the edge of my lawn.

If you don't have a sidewalk, the edge of "your" lawn is probably the county easement (aka not actually your property).

If you do have a sidewalk, it may/may not be your lawn. You'd need to pull the boundary info.

+1 I grew up in a neighborhood without sidewalks and people walk dogs there too. This is how it’s done.

Just please understand that the "county easement" is probably only about 3ft, max, off the gutter/curb line. A lack of a sidewalk doesn't entitle you to walk all the way up someone's law, which is trespass, and if your dog messes on their lawn, it may also be destruction of property.

In short, get off my lawn.

On a street with no sidewalks, I give my dog very little leash and try not to let him get more than 2 feet off the road, into someone’s grass. I respect other people’s property. I don’t allow my dog to pee on mailboxes, fences or flowers. If there’s a sign asking people to keep dogs off the grass, I will honor it. I spent most of my life not owning a dog and being annoyed by rude dog owners, so I make a conscious effort to minimize any impact my dog has on other people.

Who cares if they walk on sidewalks, as long as they’re leashed and their owner has them under control?

Because they don't just walk on their side of the sidewalk like most sensible humans do. They will sniff the hell out of an entire area along whatever side of the sidewalk they want, bushes and trees they peed on before or to sniff other dogs' pee. And often with a damn leash that takes up the width of the sidewalk. Walkers are forced to accommodate them forcing them to go onto a road just to get by that portion of the area. Sidewalks are not that wide.

You clearly just hate dogs. Yes there are some clueless dog owners out there but many of us have total control over our dogs when walking. It’s no different than passing other people or bikers or people with strollers on sidewalks. I step aside with my dog as do many others. You don’t own the sidewalk either you know.

Will look for places to live in YOUR neighborhood. Do share where it is so all those who love dogs but not in dogs in their butts on a narrow sidewalk can move to your hood.

There is no neighborhood that will satisfy you. You are clearly a self-centered person suffering from a pathological need for control. If it wasn’t dogs, it would be kids, or the elderly, or…

Lol furthest from that. Try again.

Nope, pretty sure I nailed it. Only petty, miserable, controlling people complain about the audacity of their neighbors walking their dogs on public sidewalks.

Clearly many dog owners don't realize the meaning of PUbLiC. The audacity of those dog handlers to force walkers onto roads because their dog takes up the entire sidewalk is NOT being a neighbor. Try looking up neighbor.

Nobody has ever forced you onto the road, Karen.

Oh, goody. You again. Do you realize you sound ridiculous with this 'Karen' crap? It's like early-gen brainrot at this point.

The statement stands, Karen.

This is so ridiculous. What's "Karening" about an anon telling you business you should already know? Nobody's calling the cops on your dumbass (would that we could...). It's not even the correct usage of the term. Do you think you sound cool? Edgy? Misogynist in a way that earns you bro points? Because you sounded like an idiot the first time and your insistence on continuing to call anons "karen" (when so many better, more-relevant insults might exist) just makes it look like your one orange brain cell is malfunctioning (again).

Karen PP is a daydrinking white woman. I bet my life on it.

Go start your own Karen thread if you have nothing to add to the discussion on this topic, Kenneth.

Sorry, "Kenneth". She's a frequent flyer here. A lot of us are tired of her mess.

When I pulled into my driveway this evening, two people walking dogs were fully on my lawn. What the hey??

Can't remember which thread it was where someone suggested shaming dog's actions by posting video or photo to local neighborhood list or social media. "If this is your dog's poo, come by and clean up this shit bring your own bag." You know who it is but you don't include the handler's name. If they still don't clean it up, say which house's dog's poop it is in your next message or post.

Once after school drop off, came back to find three different dog owners and 5 total dogs having a full blown discussion on lawn as if they couldn't do it four houses down at one of their own front yards. Entitled people.

You're both wrong and an AH. I'll point out the wrongness for others reading this who may be similarly misled. Just don't think I'm at all hopeful it will make you suck less.

My dog is trained to go on command and only goes in my yard, so don't you worry your wackadoodle widdle mind about me, sweets.

What ever happened to basic boundaries? I had an idiot neighbor walk all up on my lawn because "there are cars in the road", like she couldn't wait howeverlong it would've taken for the cars to simply pass by. I don't know what's worse: the entitlement or the complete absence of basic critical thinking skills.

People are nuts.

"morons" is a bit rich from someone who can't follow the thread and is now attacking the wrong one of multiple PPs. I'd try to point out to you that namecalling reveals both a weak argument and a weak mind, but, again, since you led with it...

People aren't 'miserable old control freaks' or 'Karens' because they'd like you to follow the rules that allow for peaceable society. Project any harder out your backside and you'll prolapse.

while in another part of town today was getting out of the car when saw a man with a dog cross the street from his house to an apartment complex across the street. they went on a path that leads to the front door of the apartments. it was not the sidewalk that is at the front of the apartments. He lets his dog poop there. Can't believe that he went from his house to across the street for his dog. Didn't see if he cleaned up at the point. maintenance workers generally mow that grassy area and maintain the complex's lawn I assume. He has a yard of his own and a fairly bigger one for that part of town.
