[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the city and don’t let our dogs wander into yards. They poop in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the street. What gets me is the people that put up no pooping signs on that strip, particularly if they just cut the crab grass and haven’t cultivated it. It’s city property and it’s the only public space for them to go. (No, you can’t train an adult dog to pee in the street. They develop preferences as puppies and there are cars parked along the sidewalk anyways.) I don’t like piles of poop left in front of my house either, but when you’re in a rowhouse it’s generally better practice to err on the side of neighborliness unless you want every random jerk to target your house specifically.

We also live in the city and this drives me nuts. I swear I could start an Instagram with the, "no dogs, keep off landscaping!" where the "landscaping" is nothing but an empty tree box with some dead leaves and empty Chik-fil-A boxes and 40s cans. The apartment buildings with nothing but dirt and rat boxes are also key offenders. I'm sorry, I am a very responsible owner. I would never not pick up poop and will even do it if I see it for OTHER dogs just because it bothers me and is gross. But...we live in the city. Where TF do you think these dogs are supposed to go if not in your city-owned box filled with weeds, dirt, and trash? Like...what kind of right do you think you have to prohibit that? Plant some flowers or something and I'll at least avoid due to your effort, but NOTHING? Forget it, that's fair game and not rude at all, that's where they are supposed to go.

There are a few signs I like. "Dogs! Feel free! Humans, pick up after!" Sure. Respect![/quote]
