[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a dog owner, and I do try to keep my dog off of people's lawns, and of course pick up poop. I will say though that my dog is a boy, and he lifts his leg about 100 times per walk, and after the first couple times, nothing is really coming out. I still don't let him run into the middle of someone's yard to do it because anyone watching doesn't know what, but just saying.

Also, I have a question about this - I was once yelled at by a woman because my dog pooped on the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the curb (so not really her yard, but I'm not really sure if that's technically private property or not.) I picked it up but it was a whole ordeal because I was actually wearing headphones, and she apparently called to me from her car and thought I was ignoring her. I just apologized and said I wouldn't let him but curious to get other's opinions. [/quote]

The area between the sidewalk and the curb (shoulder? median?) is the appropriate area for dogs to do their business on a walk.  Never in people's actual front yard, unless there are no sidewalks, and then it should be as close to the street as possible.  I have two large dogs and we manage this just fine - SO annoyed by people who let their pets (I've seen cats on leashes do this, too) wander into other people's yards![/quote]

I'm the PP and that's what I thought, but at least one other person in this thread has been "scolded" for letting their dogs use that space so obviously not everyone agrees. It's a bit frustrating sometimes because what's fine for some people is not for others, and presumably, you have to live near these people for at least a couple years.  [/quote]
