[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our street only has a sidewalk on one side, so the strip of land that's in between the sidewalk and the street is only on one side. Every dog owner on the side with no sidewalk crosses the street to walk their dog and let's them go on that strip of land (which yes, technically is city property, but is still in front of someone else's house). There are a few houses on the sidewalk side that have dogs that live across from them (sidewalkless side) where that strip has turned completely brown and muddy (all the grass has died off) due to the dogs across the street using that spot 3-4 times a day. While technically the owners aren't doing anything wrong, and the dogs do not go on the grass between the sidewalk and the house, it is still frustrating that that strip has completely died. But what does one do in this situation - and who is in the wrong? [/quote]
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. [/quote]

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?[/quote]
