'No Pee Zone' sign on the grass between sidewalk and road = Ugly neighbors

[Anonymous]

Why don't you bring your animals to your own property and piss/deficate there? That's like me going to other people's houses everytime I gotta piss/deficate and use their toilet instead of mine.

I watch 2 Bethesda neighbors open their doors and let their dogs pee next door /across the street front lawns when they think no one is looking. I see another neighbor walk his dogs to the next door or across the street to pee on a neighbor's lawn. We have another man on our street who does not use a leash, and his dog stops from lawn to lawn to mark his territory. And then these men call or take their dogs back into their own houses. I DO NOT GET IT. The arrogance and inconsideration baffles me.

This is the case in DC. You don't own your front yard and you DEFINITELY dont own any easements or tree boxes.

Not all of DC! I live in Petworth and I own my front yard according to my plat and title

I live in NWDC. The city (where I am now, and where I lived previously, also in NW) has an easement only. The homeowners actually own the front yard.

Where do you suggest dogs pee?

In their own yards, dummy.

In Virginia, homeowners own their own front yard. They also have the underlying property ownership in any easements.

They don't own the part OP mentions in their post, at least not in Arlington, which has a lot of those signs

Regardless, they would have to take care of it. It’s an extension of their front. They have to walk through it to get to the curb and a car parked next to it. Let your dog poop and pee in your own yard, right next to where you walk through to enter your car door.

When you let your dog poop and pee in our front lawn it attracts the next dog! And they then poop or pee next. Next, the lawn dies. Who do you think has to treat the lawn? Who re-seeds the lawn, fertilizes it, and pays to aerate it, etc. Show some respect.

There’s a person in the neighborhood who took over the entire tree box with rocks and big planters to prevent access to dogs from pooping and pissing in front of her house and car. Yet she walks her own dog in the neighborhood and her dog pisses and poops in her neighbors tree boxes. Frankly I think it’s a tripping hazard and the city should fine her or come tear it up.

I guess it’s okay that one of neighbors bring some weed killer and our it all over those plants you planted in public space.

I have a mind to pull that piece of crap signage up and toss it in to the other part of your yard.

Just move on down to the next house. It is not that hard. Signed, owner of 2 dogs.

Why. So what if everyone on the block did that. Now where are your two dogs going to relieve themselves.

I hate to say this, but in the scenario did you describe, you appear to be the "ugly" person

So your neighbors don't like dogs peeing on that easement in front of their house. It is so easy to walk past it. I try to respect my neighbors. I have two dogs and I try to make them go potty in my backyard before our walk. But if they are unable to, I, 1) only let them use the easement between the sidewalk and the road. But 2) if a person had a sign saying, please don't use this particular easement, I would just move past. It really is not difficult.

Why bother to accommodate the preferences of weirdo who won't know either way? Dogs need to pee somewhere on their walks. Letting them pee on public property when the only person who objects is a random neighbor seems perfectly civilized to me.

I hate it when people let their pets do things that aren't permitted (run around on school grounds, walk off-leash in areas with leash laws). But if you don't want someone's dog peeing near your house, move out to the country. Or avert your eyes and pretend it's not happening.

Exactly

Dogs need exercise. Dogs mark territory with pee. These two things can’t be separated. As the pooch is walking, it will mark. Even if my dog pees in our yard when we walk out, it will continue to “pee” little bits, especially where other dogs have been. It’s a game of one-upping. Those of you insisting that dogs be made to pee in their own yards are just insane. Sorry not sorry

Hm, and dogs that live in apartments and condos, where should they pee.
