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

You know what’s even more gross for your kids? The exhaust fumes from your car.

Most of you really don’t understand risk assessment and prioritization.

Seriously, get a life.

Huge eye roll :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Seriously, get a grip. We are already acknowledging that pollution is bad and are collectively working on solving the issue. Now it's your turn to realize what a crazy moron you are and don't impose your dog on anyone else.

Acknowledging something doesn’t do anything. If you’re okay with your little angels breathing in the fumes from your car and your neighbors, then you’re being disingenuous to be so outraged about dog poop smears outside. Jesus Christ.

Can your unimaginative, dumb ass stay on topic for once. Tired of you constantly equating children with dogs you sicko.

No one equated children with dogs. You must be extremely unintelligent to have come to that conclusion.

You sure as hell did. Comparing how if we don't care our children breathe in fumes (dumb, but ok) we shouldn't care that dogs piss whereever. Perhpas find better analogies next time?

If you don’t care if your kids are breathing in exhaust then you shouldn’t care that kids walk across ground the may have been peed or pooped on at some point by a dog. I stand by that statement, but by no stretch of the imagination does it equate children with dogs.

You don’t know what words mean.

This. She needs to get the legs and the sniffer going before there's any action.

So why not loop your own yard 3 or 4x and time it that way?

Exactly. Some of the excuses on this thread are WILD.

Train your dog to pee on command. Any new dog should be crate trained anyway. From the crate, they go straight outside to whatever designated "pee spot" you're going to use (on your own property, if at all possible). You give them a command and a reasonable amount of time to go. If they do, treat. If not, offer water, then back in the crate and try again in an age-appropriate amount of time (for a puppy, 30 minutes, and increase from there for full-grown dogs).

I have worked with over 100 breeds of dogs over several decades. Never met the dog who didn't learn this. It's 100% lazy owners.

Are you saying your dog will never mark on a walk outside of their pee place? My dogs usually pee on our front lawn or backyard as soon as I take them out. However, they will mark during a walk, which I only allow on the strip of grass by the street. I only allow them to poop on that strip too, and not only do I clean it up, I also pick up poop left by inconsiderate dog owners.

Are you somehow confused or bewildered by this? No, I do not let my dog(s) randomly decide where to "mark". If I'm going to be out on a long enough walk/hike that they'll need to rehydrate, I plan ahead to make sure we're near open/public space so they can be cued, again, to do any business they may need to do (again), but they're not allowed to just dictate where they drop their mess.

If your dog is just randomly stopping to piss, it's walking you.

It takes quite an idiot to conclude that I don’t care about my child breathing in fumes to me not wanting your dog to piss and shit on my property. I get that a lot of concepts are hard for you, but staying off of people’s property is not hard. It’s the law.

I’m no dog expert, but the rescue I adopted from explicitly told me that dogs need to be able to sniff around for mental stimulation, and for that reason, it’s not enough to just let them out in the yard to do their business. They have to be walked so they can sniff out new scents. Do your dogs sniff freely, but then avoid marking? How did you train that out of them?

Sniffing isn't squatting/lifting a leg. These things happen at opposite ends. If they have nothing they need to deposit, and you see them start to squat/pee stance, and they're properly leashed like they should be, a quick "nope" and walking off should get the message across easily. You shouldn't be out on extended sniffs before your dog has its basics dialed in. Puppies don't even have all their shots yet, and older dogs benefit more from intense focus at home and proper leash demeanor before going too far in public.

I take my dogs on extended sniffs because, yes, it's good for their mental health and well-being to engage their environment. I don't let them piss on other people's property, because they're properly trained and controlled. This is completely controllable/trainable behavior.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I adopted a dog who was an adult, but had never been a pet before. He has good leash manners. I don’t let him go into anyone else’s yard and only let him pee/mark in the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the road. When he starts to sniff near a mailbox, I take up any slack on the leash (6 ft leash and definitely not retractable) and say no, and he knows to move on. I guess the only thing you mentioned that I haven’t done is training him to pee on command or in a particular spot.

I almost appreciate them because the moment I hear that ripclick noise, I know to get WAY the hell out of their way.

Nobody intelligent uses those things in a city/suburban setting. It's a clown sign, for sure.

IME, they will attempt to mark much less if they don't have a full tank and/or a legitimate need to go.

Set yourself up for success!

Because I care about my dog being able to do natural dog things much, much more than I care about your stupid monoculture waste of water and space.

Sorry not sorry, and there's nothing you can do about it. Die mad.

[Anonymous]

11:48 looks like you will do that last thing you wrote with your entitlement. If you can't take care of your four legged, you shouldnt own one.

[Anonymous]

Every suburban neighorhood needs a damn dog park with a track course for the four leggeds to run around to get "their bowels moving" or get their exercise so they can poop in that same dog park where a shitting area should be made. Get the dogs off other people's lawns and sidewalks! Not in my front yard (NIMFY) movement!

There was a mom at our school whose dog went to sniff another woman’s butt.

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

I mean, the whole thread is about training your dog to control its waste, so... yeah. Provided you're doing that, simply walking your leashed dog under your full control isn't an issue, sure.

But that's not what this thread is about.

That's madness. No, I train my dogs to pee/poop in my yard. You think I'm going to let them sniff a stranger w/o said stranger deliberately inviting this by asking me first and offering a hand or other appropriate target? Nope. My dog, my bubble. Your bubble isn't for us. We're good.
