[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no standard practice.

As an owner I try to ensure my dogs finish their business before the walk, but they love to mark places.

- I always pick up #2.  
- I keep the leash tight enough to pull them away from actual yards, using the strip of grass between the sidewalk and street when possible for #1. 
- It's near impossible to stop a dog from marking favorite trees, mailboxes, and poles. [b] Once one dog marks it, all the other join in.[/b]

This is exactly why people don't want dogs peeing on their lawn.  Because then EVERY other dog that comes by needs to pee on it too.

I think it's well within a property owners rights to say "please keep your dog's piss off my property".  If you own a dog, this is just part of the deal.  If you don't like it, don't get a dog.[/quote]

Just gate your yard and don't let people in unless you know they don't have a dog.

If you can't afford that live with it. [/quote]

This is OP (I was not the PP you are responding to).  Just pointing out that not everyone can fence a yard -- especially in the front.  Our HOA does not allow fences anywhere -- front, side or back.  Fencing is not an option.  But even if it was, are you saying that I have more responsibility to keep your animal off my yard than you do?  That seems to shift the burden.[/quote]

You chose to live in a neighborhood and this is something that comes with living in a neighborhood. This is so low on the list of things to worry about.

Also, you can't control a fox from screaming in the am.
You can't stop the birds from waking you.
You can't stop kids from laughing as they ride their bikes by your house.
You can't stop deer from peeing on your lawn, or pooping.

You need Valium or counseling if this is your biggest worry today. [/quote]
