[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our dogs have “aged out” (ie. passed on), but we taught them to urinate/defecate in our yard BEFORE we went on walks. I found/find it rude when people don’t want to mess up their own yard, but take their dogs out to someone else’s yard.

As our one dog got older (over 10), he used to need to “go” during walks. He was trained to go on the sidewalk or on the boulevard. We always brought extra water and if he did pee, at least put a bottle of water over it.

Dogs should also be on leash and not roaming yards. This is as much for their own safety as kindness and concern to neighbours.

Unfortunately, some dog owners, like some parents, and ultimately, like some humans, can only see life through what is best and easiest for them.

Same - our dog pees and poops in the first few minutes of the walk, so we are still on our own property. He is trained to pee on the mulch in our backyard. We only have to walk by 5-6 houses before we are in the park and on public trails. On the trails, I let him pee off the side of the trail, and 100% of the time, it is on a tree where another dog has already peed. If he has a second poop in him, I pick it up. He is always leashed in the neighborhood, so there's no opportunity to pee or poop on anyone's lawn. We also don't have mailboxes in our neighborhood, which I think helps cut down on dogs being tempted to mark. [/quote]
