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.

This is such an entitled, stupid myth. I own my land up to the street ok? I chose to grant an easement to utility companies in exchange for needed services. The land is still mine, and there's no easement granted to your poopy dog

It’s not yours, though. If you proof, try revoking your easement you so graciously granted to the utility companies…

Sorry you don't understand property law...

I understand what an easement is. That stretch of land is gone from your control forever, darling. The utility companies just let you think it’s yours because that’s the only way they could get you to sign.

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.
DP.

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

LOL you morons know lots of people call miserable old control freaks Karens, don’t you?

And please provide the video evidence of your neighbor forcing you into the road or STFU with your idiotic hyperbole. Nobody’s buying it.

"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.

The wrong one of multiple PPs? What on Earth gave you the impression that only one of you is a moron?

All this talk about easement is absurd, and highlights just how much of a jerk many dog owners are.

If somebody asks you to please not let your dog poop/pee there, then the decent thing to do is go elsewhere.

You don't like it or it's not convenient to you? I mean you're the one who chose to get a dog - that's on you. Your dog, your problem.

For someone who's very "Your _____, your problem" you might want to ease your troubled mind by better understanding where the easements on your property are, and then you can stop micromanaging property that doesn't even belong to you.

I mean, you can politely ask someone pretty much any reasonable thing, but that doesn't mean it's not "decent" for them to decline. You don't control the easement. The curbline isn't your property.

DP. "Easement that isn't yours."? Does the city, district, municipal, county take care of that area. Nope. Homeowners do whether it's shoveling with their shovel or snow blower, mowing with their own lawn mower or outsourcing with their hard earned resources. Treat the space? Nope. Did the city reimburse home owners for that material or service? Nope. Do they come clean up? Nope. So stay the f off that area.

Do you complain this much about everything, or is it just a particular hate-on for easements?

You're so dumb. The easement granted to public utilities companies is for my benefit, you idiot. Your dog pissing on my lawn ruins my property. So, unless you're willing to take the liability that comes with entering MY property, and pay for the damage you cause, stay off.

I have half a mind to start putting poison where the dogs continue to piss one after another. But I'd hate to do that because I actually like dogs and it's not their fault they are owned by morons.

You didn't even bother looking up the code, did you? No, you didn't. The curbline of your property isn't yours. If you don't have a sidewalk, the frontline of 'your' property probably isn't yours.

Poisoning a dog will definitely be your problem. And since you're this vocally psychotic, I'm pretty sure your neighbors will know who to suspect.

Maybe, instead of being crazy wrong, and just plain crazy, on the internet, you should do some deep breathing and go touch your non-poisoned grass.

[Anonymous]

DP, not PP 16:13 is responding to.
It's usually 4-5 feet in from the curb depends on where you live. If there is a sidewalk that counts in that ft. The city will place an ugly sign pole in that grassy area by sidewalk which gives dogs space to pee. They should relocate all sign poles from people's grass to an electric pole or to an overhang pole.

Perhaps instead of trying to prove some imaginary point on the internet you should focus on respecting other people's property and training your dog to shit and piss on your grass. It's not rocket science. But a-holes like you will go to great lengths to bother everyone you encounter in life.

A formal degree in rocket science isn't required to simply consider "I may not know who the anon on the anon thread actually is" and use that framework to make a valid, thread-advancing point instead of a personal attack at the equivalent of a ghost.

How you speak to others is a story about you, not them.

NP. Please don’t let your dog poop and pee in the easement bc that’s where vendors, visitors, homeowners park and then step thru the easement grass. It gets on everyone’s shoes.
