[quote=Anonymous]1.  Most dogs will pee and or poop on walks.  The activity stimulates their system.  So, people need to expect that the dogs will need to eliminate somewhere.

2.  In our neighborhood, we (and most people, it seems) try to keep the dog in the hell strip (the section between the sidewalk and road). If one of those is present, the dog really needs to be guided away from the house side of the yard.  If you planted liriope or something else to keep people/animals out of the hell strip, you are more likely to end up with pee on your yard.  When the dog has to go, it has to go.

3.  The trouble we have is with the  number of streets without a sidewalk.  Many dogs won't eliminate in the street and want something earthy so they can do their business. When I see the telltale signs, I try to hold her off until we are back in a public grassy space or sidewalk area.  However, that's not always possible and could be cruel.  Do you really want a stream of dog pee on the street?  [/quote]
