Why is it okay for your dog to shit in my yard?

[Anonymous]

I'm with you OP. Even when dogowners pick it up, there is stinky poop remnants on the lawn. Poop on the scrap of grass between the sidewalk and the road.

I can't wait to wear shoes in OP's house next time I come over.

A dog has got to poop somewhere. As long as the owner picks it up, what is the problem? Just imagine all the other creatures out there taking a shit on your lawn.

At least the dog owner is cleaning up the poop. The wildlife just uses your yard as a toilet.

What should the wildlife be doing instead?

a dog is not wildlife....please!

No, a dog is not wildlife but shit is shit. Its like worrying about a single drop of rain in the middle of a thunderstorm. At least the dog owner removes the dog's shit. The homeowner either removes the rest or it becomes lawn fertilizer and food for insects, etc. Circle of life and all.

Why is it okay for the wind to blow refuse into your yard, OP?

I'm with OP. I don't have a dog, I don't want dogs up on my lawn by my door pooping. I don't care how well the owner removes it, there's remnants, and then my kid still gets poop on her shoes when she walks in the grass.

Wildlife is a totally different story, and generally, I"ve never seen a bear crap near my doorstep.

What gives you or your dog the right to trespass on my property?

This. Since my dog is on a leash, I CAN control where to goes.

I am a dog person and agree with OP. That's bad dog-owner behaviour. Curb your dog and don't wander and malinger on someone's property. We have a dog who gives enough warning you have time to put down a bag so he poops in it with no clean-up needed. Unless you are doing this, yes there will quite often be poop remnants.

I would NEVER do the moth ball thing because it's a digusting smell, to dogs or humans. I wouldn't want to have to have one of those little 'no dogs' signs but I think I'd have to if it was a constant problem.

Your dog should not be in other people's yard. If they wanted a dog shitting in their yards, they would have gone to the pound and gottne their own.

There is absolutely no reason an owner should let their dog get into someone else's yard beyond the area right next to the public sidewalk. To let your dog get all the way up to someone else's front door is rude and unacceptable.

I am with you OP.

It is rude and disrespectful to allow the dog to poop in the lawn. Now the owner has to purchase the moth balls to protect the lawn.

Dogs are utterly useless creatures.

HOWEVER, I do not let my dog go up on people's laws and keep him about a foot or two from the road into their yard. I find it really disrespectful for people to allow their dogs to roam all up on other people's yards.

He should have scaled the dog back and it should not have shit close to your front door. That is rude.

I agree with this. I usually walk my dog in the street so she can't lee or poo in people's yards.

Why would you let your dog in someone else's yard, poop or no poop? If you can't keep your dog off of private property, leash it. I don't wander around my neighbor's yards without their permission--why is your dog doing that?
