[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rules are very simple:

[b]Main lawn or piece of property? Not OK.
Strip of land between sidewalk and curb? OK.[/b]

I think the main point to keep in mind is to not cross the property line. If you follow that rule, you are OK in my book.

I don't own a dog, but I do walk my mom's dog when I go stay with her on the west coast. Even there, I try to avoid having the dog go in the strip of land between the sidewalk and curb. Many of her neighbors have taken the effort to sod that land or plant cute gardens. There's a leafy boulevard with a nice big strip of grass in the middle of the road, so the dog will usually do her business there.

But at a minimum, no dog should ever be crossing over the property line to do its business.[/quote]

The bolded above is what I follow. It is called 'curbing your dog' - teaching it to walk on one side so that it pees/poops/sniffs on the strip of land between property and street. If the dog doesn't naturally do it, you have to steer him/her over.

I do everything possible to not let my dog poo/pee on the main property. Even a sniff can turn into a quick pee. My dog, too, pees frequently on a walk - 10,20, 30 times. It is her time to see/hear/smell the world after being cooped up in my house. It is my responsibility to see to it that she gets that stimulation. [/quote]
